Argentine rock icon Fito Páez officially concluded his successful “Páez Tecknicolor USA ’25” tour on November 24, 2025, with a dazzling, sold-out finale at the historic Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York. This coast-to-coast run saw the legendary artist reconnect with his North American fanbase, following packed shows that kicked off at the YouTube Theatre in Los Angeles and included a high-profile, sold-out date at Hard Rock Live in Miami. The tour celebrated not only Páez’s four-decade career but also capped off a truly landmark year of creative achievement and recognition.
The New York performance was a celebration of success both on the road and in the studio. Páez’s recent album, NOVELA, which he began writing in 1988 and completed in 2024, has cemented his status as a giant in Latin music. The album brought him two clean-sweep wins at the Latin GRAMMY®s this year, adding to his collection as one of the awards’ most decorated artists. Furthermore, NOVELA earned him his fifth career GRAMMY® nomination for “Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album.” These accolades underscore the enduring relevance of the artist, who holds an impressive 26 Latin GRAMMY® nominations and 5 GRAMMY® nominations overall.
Electrifying Finale in Brooklyn
The finale itself was a spectacular event for the captivated New York audience. Backed by an exceptional eight-piece band featuring a powerful horn section, Fito commanded the stage with his signature piano for a spirited two-hour, 22-song set. He opened the night with his mega hit “El amor después del amor” and powered through fan-favorites like “11 y 6” and “Llueve sobre mojado.” The evening concluded with an unforgettable encore, including the Latin GRAMMY® winner for Best Rock Song, “Sale el Sol,” and a full audience sing-along to the classic “Mariposa Tecknicolor.”
Fito Páez’s year of triumph extends beyond the stage and awards ceremonies. His 2025 accomplishments also include his acclaimed NPR Tiny Desk debut, receiving the prestigious Platinum Konex Award as Argentina’s Best Author/Composer of the Decade, and being recognized with an Honorary Doctorate from the National University of Rosario. This year has firmly established Fito Páez as not just a Latin rock legend, but an iconic cultural figure.
