Buenos Aires Herald 
Cold doesn’t even begin to describe it, but these recommendations are worth the frostbite — so put three pairs of pants on, and go enjoy the weekend.
Friday 4 — 9 p.m.
Movistar Arena (Humboldt 450, Villa Crespo)
Tickets start at ARS $45,000 and can be purchased online
This long-standing Argentine rock band that sprouted from legendary 1980s band SUMO always puts on a good show. And if the band wasn’t enough, the energy of the crowd they draw doesn’t disappoint either. They’re performing both Friday and Saturday night at Movistar Arena, but the Saturday night is already sold out — and there’s a reason for that.
Known for mixing hard rock music with Argentine folk, you’ll hear classics like the popular “¿Qué Ves?” or “Par Mil.” Take note: their concerts can get loud, so do your hearing a favor and bring along a pair of earplugs just in case.
Wednesdays to Sundays through August 3, various show times depending on day
Sala SinPiso (Julio A. Noble 4100, Palermo)
Tickets start at ARS$25,000 and can be purchased online
After touring Brazil, Peru, Mexico, England, and Korea, the internationally renowned performance company Fuerza Bruta returns home to Argentina with their show “AVEN”. The event is a sensory and physical journey about joy, freedom, and beauty — expect a wild, playful paradise where flying through waterfalls, dancing among butterflies, floating through the universe, or traveling inside a whale is all possible.
The show takes place in Sala SinPiso, their custom-designed space created for interactive experiences and not-your-normal night at the theater.
