Charli XCX, Travis Scott and The Killers are headlining the lineup of artists confirmed for the 15th Lollapalooza Chile Festival, to be held March 12 through 14 of next year at Parque O’Higgins in central Santiago de Chile. The promoter, Lotus, released the list on Thursday.

The event has been held in Chile since 2011 and has become a pioneer in bringing major international touring shows to Latin America.

When is Lollapalooza Chile 2027?

Lollapalooza Chile 2027 is scheduled for Friday, March 12; Saturday, March 13; and Sunday, March 14, 2027, at Parque O’Higgins in the Santiago municipality, in the city center. It is the same venue the festival used from its debut in 2011 through 2019, and to which it returned in 2026. Between 2020 and 2025 the event was moved to Cerrillos Park in the western part of the city.

Who are the confirmed artists?

The roster of artists appearing at the music event is led by British singer-songwriter Charli XCX, U.S. rapper Travis Scott and American rock band The Killers.

What is the price of tickets?

Ticket prices depend on the selected experience. The three-day general pre-sale pass costs 242,000 pesos ($247). The three-day Lolla Lounge pass — which offers exclusive services and access — costs 686,400 pesos ($702). The three-day Lolla Platinum pass — tied to two event sponsors and offering the highest level of services for attendees (transfers, food trucks, exclusive restrooms, an open bar and exclusive access) — is priced at 1,306,000 pesos ($1,330) in regular sale. Tickets for Lollapalooza Chile 2027 can be purchased through the Ticketmaster website.

Spanish House Prices Rise 9pc But Market Growth Stalls In H1 2026

Spanish house prices continue to climb, but the total value of sales has barely increased despite the market more than doubling in size over the last decade. Are buyers finally reaching their limits?

Spanish house prices continued climbing in the first half of 2026, but the total value of homes sold barely increased. The latest figures from the Ministry of Housing suggest a market increasingly constrained by affordability, with prices still rising strongly even as sales lose momentum.

The latest figures from Spain’s Ministry of Housing show the average price of a residential property sold in the first half of 2026 reached €225,493, up 9% compared to the same period last year. New homes averaged €300,910, whilst resale properties averaged €217,956.

The figures confirm that house prices are still rising strongly, particularly in the resale market, despite signs that demand is beginning to cool.

House prices have risen by more than 50% in a decade

Over the last ten years, the average price of all homes sold has increased by 51%, with new-build prices rising 76% and resale prices 61%.

One interesting development is the narrowing gap between new and resale prices. In 2024, new homes sold for an average of 58% more than resale properties. By H1 2026, that premium had fallen to 38%.

One possible explanation is that buyers are increasingly being priced out of new developments and forced to compete for existing homes. With demand outstripping supply and household budgets stretched, buyers may be paying more for resale properties because they have little choice. Most would probably prefer a new home if they could afford one, but the market doesn’t always offer what buyers want at a price they can pay.

Market value stalls despite rising prices

The total value of residential property transactions in Spain reached €38.7 billion in H1 2026, compared to €38.4 billion a year earlier. That’s an increase of just 0.6%, despite average prices rising by 9%.

Over the last decade, the market has more than doubled in value, from €15 billion in H1 2016 to almost €39 billion today. But the latest figures suggest that growth is running out of steam.

If prices are rising by 9% whilst the total value of transactions is virtually unchanged, the implication is that fewer homes are changing hands, or that the mix of properties sold has shifted towards cheaper homes, or both.

Higher prices are clearly making homes less affordable, whilst rising borrowing costs and political uncertainty may also be weighing on demand.

What does this mean for buyers and sellers?

The Spanish housing market appears to be moving into a new phase. Prices are still rising strongly, supported by a chronic shortage of supply, but transaction values suggest buyers are increasingly struggling to keep up.

For sellers, this may be a good time to consider going to market whilst prices remain high, rather than waiting for demand to weaken further. For buyers, there is little sign of a price correction just yet, but the slowdown in market activity could eventually improve their negotiating position.

The key question for the second half of 2026 is whether sales can stabilise without a significant correction in prices. For now, the market looks more like a slowdown than a slump.
