Three Voices, One Stadium Night
Salsa, bachata and Colombian pop share one bill. Marc Anthony headlines at Estadio San Marcos on December 4, 2026, with Manuel Turizo and Fonseca also on the bill.
Here is what each act brings:
- Marc Anthony: the New York-born salsa singer of Puerto Rican descent behind “Vivir mi vida” and “Valió la pena”. He is the biggest-selling tropical artist of his generation.
- Manuel Turizo: the Colombian singer of “La Bachata” and “Una lady como tú”, both huge with Latin pop audiences.
- Fonseca: the Bogotá songwriter known for “Te mando flores”, who blends pop with vallenato.
Lima takes salsa seriously. Expect a stadium where people know the brass lines and dance in the aisles.
Estadio San Marcos and How to Reach It
The stadium belongs to Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, the oldest university in the Americas. It stands inside the Ciudad Universitaria campus, on Avenida Venezuela near Avenida Universitaria. That puts it in Cercado de Lima, close to the San Miguel and Pueblo Libre districts.
No metro line serves the stadium directly. Most attendees go by taxi or ride-hailing app (Uber, Cabify and InDrive all work in Lima). On a weekday evening, the drive from Miraflores or Barranco often runs well past half an hour along Avenida Javier Prado or the Vía Expresa.
The stadium is also fairly close to Jorge Chávez International Airport in Callao. Fans flying in on the day often go straight there.
Getting Through the Gates on Avenida Venezuela
Big concerts here follow a familiar pattern, and locals plan around it.
- Arrival: fans typically arrive hours before the headliner. The queues along the campus walls are part of the night.
- Payment: inside and around the venue, Peruvians pay in soles. They use cards and the Yape and Plin mobile wallets as often as cash, while street vendors outside mostly take cash or Yape.
- Tickets: keep yours as a QR code on your phone, plus your ID or passport. Ticket zones are priced in tiers, and each zone has its own entrance gate.
- Leaving: after the encore, ride-hailing prices spike and pickups jam the avenue. Many attendees walk several blocks toward Avenida Universitaria or Avenida La Marina before calling a car.
Street vendors outside sell anticuchos (grilled beef-heart skewers) and salchipapas (fries and sliced hot dog). Many fans eat that way instead of at the stadium kiosks.
Where to Stay and What Lima Is Like in December
December is the start of Lima’s summer. The grey winter cloud usually clears, and rain is almost unknown in this desert city. Evenings stay mild enough for a light layer at an open-air stadium.
Most international visitors stay in one of three districts:
- Miraflores: clifftop hotels above the Costa Verde, with the Malecón for morning walks.
- San Isidro: the business district, slightly closer to the stadium, with the olive grove at El Olivar.
- Barranco: bars, galleries and the Puente de los Suspiros, and the longest ride to the venue.
To be close to the stadium, look at Pueblo Libre and San Miguel. Pueblo Libre also has the Museo Larco and its pre-Columbian collection, a good daytime stop before the show.
