Live Nation has filed plans to build Lima Music Arena, an 18,500-capacity indoor venue in Santiago de Surco, set to become Peru’s first purpose-built indoor arena for live entertainment.

Expected to open in mid-2028, the arena is projected to host more than 100 events annually, ranging from international touring productions to national headliners and local shows.

Situated next to Jockey Plaza, the venue will be integrated into one of Lima’s busiest entertainment districts. Plans include a new parking garage, dedicated rideshare and taxi zones, and direct access to major arterials and public transit.

Design is being led by Blueprint Studio, Live Nation’s in-house design division, working in partnership with Gensler, Miranda Arquitectos (Lima), and BL Arquitectos. 

Live Nation will continue to collaborate with the municipalities of Santiago de Surco and Lima throughout the approval and development process.

Michael Rapino, CEO of Live Nation, said:

“Lima is a priority market for Live Nation, and Lima Music Arena will be the home to the top international and local artists alike as we service the city’s growing number of passionate music fans. We believe it will become a source of pride as Peru’s new epicenter for unforgettable live entertainment.”

Frédéric Servant, President of the Board at Portalia S.A., ground lessor of the site, added:

“At Portalia, we are extremely proud to see such a project come to life on our Explanada Olguín site. This state-of-the-art Arena, operated by the world’s number one in live music, will position Lima and Surco as a leading capital of live entertainment in Latin America. The Lima Music Arena will also be perfectly complemented by the hotels that Portalia is developing alongside it, together creating a new hub for tourism and entertainment in the city.”
