Laura Pausini returns to the Quinta Vergara
It will be the Italian singer's third appearance at the festival. She debuted at the Quinta Vergara on 22 February 1997 and nearly returned in 2026, but the clash with the Sanremo Festival prevented it, according to La Tercera. "A music legend returns to our city," said mayor Ripamonti, who highlighted the event's impact on tourism and the local economy.
The rest of the line-up, ticket sales and the day-by-day schedule have not been announced yet. We will update this article when new artists are confirmed.
