The punk icon offered a incendiary show at the Movistar Arena, with Stooges classics and its solo career.
Iggy Pophe “Punk godfather”, “The legend” or simply “The iguana”tell him how they want. Whether they are adjective or nicknames, they fail to define the 78 -year -old musician. Last night the public at the Movistar Arena witnessed once more than this being indomitable on a stage.
Iggy came to the country several times. His first visit was in 1988 at the Sanitary Works Stadium. Subsequently, he returned in 1992, 1993 and 1996 as a soloist. Also came in 2006 with The Stooges To play at the Pepsi Music at the City of Buenos Aires Club. In 2016, he returned for the last time to Buenos Aires for the BUE Festival. This 2025 found it with a modest staging. A backdrop and a game of lightsI don’t know much more to live a night of celebration in what is probably the last visit of the musician born in Michigan, United States.
How was Iggy Pop’s show in Argentina
After 9:00 p.m. Iggy entered walking with that mixture of wobble and threat (product of its scoliosis) that characterizes it, the vest was started without saying a word and with the naked torso shot without scales with “TV Eye”, “Raw Power” and “I GOT A RIGHT”. The public – a hypnotic and heterogeneous crowd inhabited by young and old rockers – was delivered without conditions. Not a minute had passed and the Villa Crespo sand was already a moving field.
Along the show, Iggy Pop turned the stage into an extension of his body: He crawled on the floor, kicked the air, stirred the microphone like a whip, revoked it. Behind him, an sharp band – with Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs on the main guitar and Argentina Ale Campos On the other guitar – he maintained the fair tension between chaos and the groove.

Towards the middle of the show, he unleashed a hits arsenal that he sang with the entire stadium. “The Passenger” It was pure collective song, “Lust for life” an unstoppable burst of energy, and “Search and Destroy”. Immortal classics, executed with an intensity that did not give truce.
Later it was the turn of songs how “1970”, “Som Weird Sin”, “Frenzy” And a mix between “The blues” and “NightClubbing”. There was also space for its classic cover of Johnny O’Keefe & The Dee Jays: “Real Wild Child (Wild One)”.
By the time the end of the show came, the spicy of Punk Rock came out with a shirt from the Argentine National Team with his name and 10 in the sword. He welcomed the stage to Gaspar Benegas, guitarist of air conditioner fundamentalists And together they gave rock fans a version of “Louie Louie“That will remain in the memory of everyone present.
