When Argentines really love a band, it can become almost a cultural religion. And the Rolling Stones fandom has proven so once again.
Legendary musician Ron Wood will bring his latest world tour to Argentina, and his November 6 concert at the 15,000-seat Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires sold out in just a few minutes.
For local audiences, Wood’s return is also a new opportunity to display Argentina’s incredible local passion for the Stones.
Bandmate Keith Richards was the first to witness the energy of the local fan base in his 1992 solo concert, attended by 45,000 people at Vélez stadium. The gig is considered the stepping stone to pave the way for The Rolling Stones’ first tour in 1995.
A year later, Ron Wood returned to Buenos Aires for an exposition of his paintings at art gallery Praxis, with record attendance.
Since then, The Rolling Stones have come to Argentina four times, with 15 sold-out stadium shows. Their most recent visit was documented in the 2017 concert film Olé olé olé, a trip across Latin America.
For generations of Argentine fans, Wood is more than a talented guitarist — he is a genuine rock icon. A member of The Rolling Stones since 1975, his career spans more than six decades, and he continues to captivate audiences with his unmistakable style. Before joining the Stones, he played with the Jeff Beck Group and Faces, building a reputation for his charismatic stage presence and distinctive guitar work.
Wood’s new world tour
Ronnie Wood & His Band will kick off their tour on August 21 in London and continue with seven dates across Europe. The trek celebrates the release of the compilation Fearless: Anthology 1965-2025 and the setlist spanning his career and blending blues, classic rock, and the improvisational flair that has become his trademark.
After a recess in October, a Latin American leg will begin early November, reaching Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires and Santiago de Chile.
The excitement surrounding the tour is also a reminder that The Rolling Stones remain very much alive and kicking. The iconic band demonstrates extraordinary longevity and proves that age has done little to diminish their creative spirit or their ability to command global attention.
Their latest studio album, Foreign Tongues, marked a celebrated return to new music and reaffirmed the band’s status as one of the greatest acts in rock history, with frontman Mick Jagger recently celebrating his 83rd birthday.
Although there has been no hint of a new Rolling Stones world tour, Argentine fans already dream of seeing the group live once again. For many, Ron Wood’s concert serves as an hors d’oeuvre before the main course: another chance to see The Rolling Stones in an Argentine stadium.
