Lollapalooza Argentina 2027: Dates, Lineup, Tickets and Travel Guide

Lollapalooza Argentina 2027 takes place on Friday March 12, Saturday March 13 and Sunday March 14, 2027 at the Hipódromo de San Isidro. ^{1 2} The organiser's site lists these dates and press coverage in June 2026 described the event as the twelfth edition in Argentina. ²

Earlier editions give a pattern. The 2026 edition ran from Friday March 13 to Sunday March 15, 2026, and the 2023 edition ran March 17, 18 and 19, 2023, always on the same racetrack in the second or third weekend of March. ^{4 1} Anyone searching for "Lollapalooza Argentina 2026" will therefore find that edition's dates of March 13 to 15, 2026, not the 2027 ones. ⁴

The line-up is a separate question. The 2027 edition is described on the official site as more than 100 bands on 5 stages, with the names published on the line-up page of the site and in the app. ¹ For reference, the 2026 headliners included Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Lorde, Tyler, The Creator and Deftones. ^{2 4}

• Day 1: Friday, March 12, 2027. ¹
• Day 2: Saturday, March 13, 2027. ¹
• Day 3: Sunday, March 14, 2027. ¹

Planning around the dates is mostly a matter of working backwards. The Friday gates open in the early afternoon, so a traveller who lands at Ezeiza on Thursday March 11, 2027 has a full day to recover, pick up a SIM or eSIM, and learn the Mitre line before the first act. ⁵ Anyone arriving on the morning of the first day risks reaching the grounds after the opening sets, with the transfer from the airport taking 1 to 1.5 hours by shuttle bus before the train even begins. ¹⁰

A Sunday finish also shapes departures. The last night of the festival ends late, so flights out of Buenos Aires on Monday March 15, 2027 are better booked for the afternoon than for the early morning.

Note: Dates are taken from the organiser and from press reports, and the day-by-day schedule is only released with the line-up. Check the official app before booking non-refundable flights or rooms.

Because the festival falls on a normal Friday-to-Sunday weekend in March, flights and hotels in Buenos Aires tighten up from the Thursday before, so booking transport early matters more than usual.

A ticket is required, and for 2027 the only product is the 3-day pass; there are no single-day tickets. ³ The early stage started at ARS 205,000 plus service charge, with prices rising as each stage sells out. ³ For comparison, three-day passes started at ARS 375,000 in the 2026 edition. ⁴

The sales flow in 2026 ran in three steps: a Lolla FAM code for people who had attended five or more editions on June 3, 2026, the Early Bird and Santander Visa presale on June 4, 2026, and general sale once the presale stock ran out. ² Presale buyers with a Santander Visa card could pay in up to six interest-free instalments. ^{1 2} Tickets are sold through AllAccess, whose link is on the official site. ^{3 4}

Three pass types appeared in the 2027 sale. ²

• 3 Day Pass: all three days, five stages, a free water station, lockers for rent, and free entry for children under 10. The beer garden is for ages 18 and over.

• 3 Day Pass Plus: the same, plus a shaded area with Wi-Fi, priority food and drink access, and giant screens.

• 3 Day Pass Lolla Lounge: side views of the main stages, private restrooms, a massage space and dedicated staff.

Children up to and including 10 enter free when they come with a ticketed adult and complete the mandatory accreditation. ⁷ One adult can register up to four children under 10, using the chip code from the adult's wristband and the children's details on the festival site. ⁷ Children's wristbands are collected only on the festival day at the Kidzapalooza box office on Avenida Márquez 700, with both the adult's and the children's ID documents. ⁷

Inside the grounds, cash does not work. ⁶ LollaCashless was the only accepted payment method in 2025. ⁶ Wristbands that are loose or altered were confiscated without replacement. ⁶ Outside food and drinks are not allowed in, so bring an empty bottle to fill at the free water station. ^{4 2}

Budgeting starts with the pass and then adds the wristband balance. The pass price ³ is not the full cost: food and drinks are paid from the LollaCashless balance, so the money loaded on the wristband in pesos is a separate line in the budget. ⁶ Unused balance rules are set by the organiser, so read the cashless terms on the official site before loading a large sum.

Tip: Buy only through the link on the official site. Resale offers appear whenever a stage sells out.

The Hipódromo de San Isidro is about 30 km from downtown Buenos Aires, and the usual route from Ezeiza International Airport (EZE) is a transfer into the city, then the Mitre train north. ⁴ An airport shuttle bus leaves every 30 minutes and takes 1 to 1.5 hours to reach downtown, while a private car costs more but saves time. ¹⁰ A private transfer from EZE had a starting price of USD 48.38 in October 2026. ¹¹

From the city, use the Mitre line, Tigre branch, and get off at San Isidro station. The walk to the grounds is 5 to 10 minutes. ^{16 5} San Isidro station links directly to Retiro. ⁵ The festival also publishes bus lines for the area: 60, 168, 203, 343 and 365, with others such as 333, 338, 371, 407, 437 and 707, and several lines extended hours for the return in 2026. ⁵

The 2026 gates were Avenida Santa Fe 35, Avenida Márquez 700 (corner Tellier) and Avenida Márquez 900 (corner Aphalo). ⁵ The preferential access for people with disabilities was on Avenida Bernabé Márquez 900, with assistance, adapted platforms, accessible restrooms and hearing protection. ⁵

Getting home is the hard part. In 2026, a special night service ran between San Isidro and Belgrano C from 23:00 to 03:00, and festival shuttle buses went to Puente Saavedra, Plaza Italia and the Obelisco. ⁵ From Barrancas de Belgrano, where the night train stops, buses 15, 29, 42, 44, 55, 63 and 64 connect to the city. ¹⁶ Official parking and a paid shuttle were also announced for 2027. ²

• Arrive by train before the gates fill, since the organiser recommends public transport because of diversions around the grounds. ⁵

• Do not plan a ride-hailing pickup right outside the grounds at closing time; walk a few blocks first. ⁴

Tip: Check the Trenes Argentinos service status on the day. In 2026 the Mitre service was fully restored from March 12, one day before the festival. ⁵

The grounds follow the racetrack layout, with five stages in 2027 and 100-plus acts spread over three days. ¹ Doors opened at 12:30 on all three days in 2026, and the first acts played in the early afternoon. ⁵ In 2026 the Friday opener was Mora Fisz. ⁴

Lollapalooza in Argentina has a long history of mixing international headliners with Argentine acts. The 2026 edition combined Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Lorde, Tyler, The Creator and Deftones with local names including Ratones Paranoicos, Paulo Londra and Turf. ⁴ Earlier editions brought Foo Fighters and Miley Cyrus in 2022, and Drake and Billie Eilish in 2023. ⁴

Other things to do between sets:

• Kidzapalooza: a children's area for under-10s, entered from Avenida Márquez 700. ⁷

• Beer garden: ages 18 and over only. ²

• Food stalls: the 2026 coverage listed a big fast-food brand plus gluten-free and vegan options, all paid with the wristband. ⁴

• Charging stands: phones can be charged on site, though a portable charger is safer. ⁴

Outside food and drink stay out, so the food stalls are the only option. Prices were a topic of debate in 2025. ¹⁵

Tip: When two favourite acts overlap, pick the stage first and walk early; crowds between stages thicken fast near the main field.

Mid-March in Buenos Aires is warm: a ten-year average puts March temperatures at 19 to 25 °C, with rain falling on about 29% of days. ⁸ Individual days vary widely. A Spanish-language report mentions a daily range of 22 to 28 °C on March 1, 2026, and light rain with 20 to 26 °C on March 3, 2026. ⁸

Late-summer heat on an open racetrack means the first problem is sun, not rain. The Herald advises sunscreen, a hat, cap or bandana, and an empty bottle for the free water stations. ⁴ A sudden cool or stormy day can still hit, so a light rain jacket is worth the space.

What to pack:

• Light clothes and comfortable closed shoes for dust and long walking days

• A cap or bandana, plus sunscreen

• A light rain layer

• A refillable empty bottle

• A portable charger

• ID, since wristband collection and children's accreditation need it ⁷

• Small bag or belt bag that fits gate rules, which should be checked on the official site

Crowds are heaviest on the headliner evenings, and the gates are busiest in the first hours after doors open, so arriving a little before the target set is usually enough.

Food needs a plan as well. Outside food is not allowed, so the stalls inside carry the whole day, and queues are longest right before the headliner slots. ⁴ Eating a proper lunch in San Isidro before the gates, then using the wristband for snacks and water-side drinks inside, keeps lines short. Argentine festival classics such as choripán and empanadas are easy to find in the streets around the station on any weekend, which makes a pre-gate meal simple.

Tip: Dust and sun are tougher than most visitors expect on the Sunday, after two long days.

The easiest base is San Isidro itself, because the station is a short walk from the grounds and you can leave after the last set without a long ride. Neighbouring Vicente López and Olivos on the same Mitre line work as a quieter option, and the stations along the line are close enough for a taxi if a train is missed.

Staying in the city makes sense for people who want restaurants, shopping and sightseeing. Palermo and Recoleta offer plenty of choice, and Belgrano is useful because the late-night festival train terminates at Belgrano C. ⁵ Barrancas de Belgrano is where the night train stops, with bus connections back across the city. ¹⁶ Downtown stays are further from the grounds, so a return trip adds time.

The Hipódromo is about 30 km from downtown Buenos Aires, so a late-night return from a city base is realistic only with the night train or a pre-booked car. ⁴

• San Isidro, Olivos, Vicente López: shortest return, quieter nights.

• Belgrano: matches the terminus of the late-night train.

• Palermo, Recoleta: best for dining and nightlife, longer return.

• Downtown: convenient for Ezeiza transfers, farthest from the grounds.

Book as soon as the line-up is out. Hotel prices are not set by the festival, so the sourced figure to use is the pass itself, not a room rate, and a price check on a booking site gives the current picture.

Another option is to split the trip. Two nights in San Isidro or Olivos for the festival, then moving to Palermo or Recoleta for sightseeing, avoids paying for a city room on the nights when the return trip is hardest. The festival itself leaves little time for museums and cafés, which is why the days after the Sunday finale suit the city better.

Note: Visitors from the United States do not need a visa to visit Argentina for tourism, and Australians can stay up to three months. ⁹ Other nationalities should check the official consular list.

Mobile signal is often weak when the Hipódromo is crowded, according to the Buenos Aires Herald's 2026 guide. ⁴ Roughly 100,000 people were expected per day in 2026. ⁴ That is why the practical advice is offline-first: save the schedule as screenshots, download the official app before arriving and agree on meeting places. ⁴

The 3 Day Pass Plus includes an area with Wi-Fi, but the standard pass does not mention it. ² Public networks in a crowd tend to be slow; a local data connection on the phone is more reliable for the wristband top-up page, maps and ride requests.

An eSIM can be installed before you fly, and activated on landing in Buenos Aires. The Argentina eSIM page lists the options for visitors. Make sure the phone is unlocked and supports eSIM before departure.

Money matters connect to data. Cash does not work inside the grounds, so the top-up page must open. ⁶ Outside the festival, Argentina's exchange situation has changed: reports in 2026 say the gap between the official and the informal "blue" rate has narrowed, and foreign cards are processed at or near the official rate, although the numbers in guides differ. ^{12 13} Check a live rate before travelling.

Group communication is the second reason to have data. Messaging apps work on a single bar of signal where voice calls do not, so agreeing on text check-ins every hour beats calling someone across the field. ⁴ Sharing a live location with the group for the duration of a set is a light way to meet again at a stage barrier or at the water station.

• Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi.

• Download the app and offline maps.

• Screenshot the schedule and your meeting point.

• Carry a power bank.

Tip: Turn on airplane mode and low-power mode while queuing between sets, then switch back on only to check the app.
