These are the most attractive musical events for this year

With the arrival of 2018, there is also a season of concerts for all musical tastes. In Chile, Santiago is undoubtedly one of the Latin American destinations preferred by musicians from all over the world. In 2017 took place the spectacular presentations of Bruno Mars, U2, Deep Purple, Megadeth, Jamiroquai, Bon Jovi, and other greats of the international music scene.

Apparently, 2018 will be as good as 2017 or even better. This new year brings many surprises in the musical field to delight the most demanding fans. Below, there is a list of some of the best shows that begin in February.
