Festival Bamba 2026 in Santiago, Chile: Dates, Lineup and What We Couldn't Confirm

Festival Bamba takes over Parque O'Higgins in Santiago, Chile on Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25, 2026. Per the festival's page, it is a two-day Latin music and culture festival on two stages, Escenario Banco de Chile and Escenario Latino, with food, market and picnic areas. It is days away, so this guide keeps what the festival prints apart from what we could not confirm. Unless we say otherwise, everything below is per the festival's own pages and terms as of October 15.

As of October 15, no sold-out marker was shown on the festival's tickets page or its Ticketmaster listing. That is not confirmed availability.

The Dates

Both days share one catalogue page. First acts are per the festival's cartel, and the festival's page says tickets are sold only through Ticketmaster. It prints no gate time; press (Meganoticias) reports doors at 12:00 on both days, which we could not confirm.

Santiago: Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25

Parque O'Higgins hosts both days. Per the festival's cartel, Marc Anthony ends Saturday at 00:00 and Carlos Vives ends Sunday at 23:30. Press (Meganoticias) said concerts end at 23:30 both days, which disagrees with the cartel's 00:00 for Saturday. We follow the cartel.

Per the festival's page, passes come in three categories, each as a two-day or a daily pass:

• Pase Bamba (General): access to all stages and shows.
• Pase Club Bamba por LATAM Airlines: adds a seated or standing zone beside the Banco de Chile stage (chairs first come, first served, limited stock).
• Pase La Terraza por Cenco Malls (Bamba Terraza): an elevated terrace with stage view and separate access.

Some rates show low-stock indicators, mainly Bamba Terraza; exact sold-out status per category isn't stated.
