XLOV LATAM Tour II: Dates, Tickets & Venue (Buenos Aires)

A Wednesday night on Corrientes

The date falls midweek. XLOV’s 2026 LATAM Tour II reaches Buenos Aires on Wednesday, November 25, and the show is held at C Art Media. It’s a concert venue on Avenida Corrientes, out where the avenue stops being theatre-land and runs through Chacarita and Villa Crespo.

That puts the show on a working night in a city that eats dinner late. The avenue still carries buses and commuters after dark, so the crowd outside the doors mixes with ordinary weeknight traffic. On a Wednesday the venue tends to fill with students and young workers coming straight from class or the office.

Who XLOV are

XLOV is a multinational K-pop group. The members come from more than one country and the group performs for a fanbase that spans Asia and the Americas. This Latin American run is the group’s second tour of the region, which is where the “II” in the title comes from.

Buenos Aires has one of the most committed K-pop audiences in South America. Groups at every level of fame book shows here, from big stadium acts down to newer names playing mid-sized rooms. A show like this one draws people who know every fan chant. It also draws friends who came along and leave as converts.

C Art Media and its corner of the city

C Art Media sits on Avenida Corrientes in the Chacarita district, close to the Villa Crespo border. This end of Corrientes runs mostly low-rise: car repair shops, pizzerias, kiosks selling cold drinks and alfajores, and apartment blocks. It is a neighbourhood stretch, not a tourist strip.

Standing in the queue, you face one of the city’s longest avenues. It runs straight from the centre out to the Chacarita cemetery. A few blocks east is the Dorrego junction. A few blocks west, Corrientes meets Avenida Federico Lacroze by the Chacarita rail terminal.

Getting there on Subte Line B

The Subte is the simplest way in. Line B runs underneath Avenida Corrientes for its whole length, and Dorrego station is the closest stop to the venue. From there it’s a short walk along the avenue. Federico Lacroze station, one stop further out, works too, and it links with the Urquiza commuter rail line.

Practical points for the ride:

• Subte fares and city buses are paid with a rechargeable SUBE card, sold and topped up at kiosks and stations.
• Line B links up with the centre at Carlos Pellegrini, where you can change to Lines C and D. Line H crosses it at Corrientes.
• Lots of colectivo bus routes run along Corrientes, which helps when the Subte has stopped for the night.
• Ride-hailing apps work across the city, though pickups jam up on the avenue once the show lets out.

Visitors without a car usually stay in Palermo or Villa Crespo. Both are a short taxi or bus ride away and have plenty of places open late.

Jacaranda season on the way in

Late November is late spring in Buenos Aires. That means the jacarandas are out. These street trees bloom a pale violet across the city through November, and their fallen flowers carpet the pavements in Palermo and along many of the avenues.

Evenings at this time of year are usually mild to warm, with long daylight. Spring storms can roll in fast, though, and a sudden downpour does happen. Fans who queue for hours outside a venue in this season tend to carry water, a light layer and something that keeps a banner dry.

How the K-pop queue works in Buenos Aires

Argentine K-pop fans take the queue seriously. For general-admission shows, the most devoted fans often turn up hours before doors. Some arrange the line among themselves with numbered lists. Anyone who joins late is expected to respect that order, and jumping it causes real friction.

Fan projects are a big part of the night. Volunteers hand out printed slogans, banners or small gifts in the queue, often funded by fan clubs. Some ask everyone to hold up a sign or sing a particular line at a set moment. Taking part costs nothing, and joining in is the fastest way to fit in.

A few more local habits:

• Fans greet each other with a single cheek kiss, even strangers in the line.
• Merch stands usually take cash in pesos, and many also take QR payment through apps like Mercado Pago.
• Fans chant in Korean but talk to each other in Spanish. A simple “¿Dónde termina la fila?” (where does the line end?) gets you to the back of the queue.
• Official lightsticks are a common sight. Fan-made signs in Spanish and Korean are just as common.

Before and after the show around Dorrego

The neighbourhood around the venue is good for food. Avenida Corrientes is classic pizzeria territory. Most places serve thick-crust pizza by the slice or by the whole pie, often with fainá, a chickpea flatbread laid on top. Porteños eat dinner late, so plenty of kitchens are still busy when the crowd leaves.

During the day, the Mercado de Pulgas at Avenida Dorrego and Álvarez Thomas is a covered flea market. It’s packed with old furniture, lamps and vintage oddments and sits within walking distance. The huge Cementerio de la Chacarita is at the western end of Corrientes, with its long avenues of tombs and the memorial to tango singer Carlos Gardel.

Palermo Hollywood starts a few blocks north. Its bars and restaurants are where much of the after-show crowd ends up on a warm November night.
