New QR ordering plus reusable cups marked a low‑incident, carbon‑neutral edition.

Overview

  • The finale, moved from Friday to Tuesday due to forecast storms, filled the Hipódromo de Mendoza for sets by La Banda de Carlitos with Eugenia Quevedo and Damas Gratis.

  • Local acts selected through the Marciano Cantero contest, drawn from more than 210 proposals, opened the program and highlighted emerging Mendoza talent.
  • Organizers expanded services and production with an 84‑meter stage, 30‑plus artisan and food stalls, QR‑based Pop Meals purchasing and rechargeable eco‑cups.
  • Security and health teams reported no major incidents beyond a few hypotension and heat cases, with local outlets citing about 35,000 attendees on the final night and totals topping 100,000 over three days.
