Recommended Concerts July through December, 2011

Numerous international concerts have already been announced for the second half of the year 2011 in Buenos Aires. Since tickets for some of the biggest ones (like Aerosmith and Eric Clapton) are already on sale and are likely to get sold out in the upcoming weeks, I decided to post at once about all the concerts from July until the end of the year.
Please keep checking on this post for updates since many events that are yet to be confirmed may be added soon, like the announced return of Paul McCartney and concerts by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Tears for Fears, Ringo Starr, Katy Perry, as well as the program for the Pepsi Music Festival, Personal Fest and Hot Festival.

Contact me if you need help getting tickets for any of these concerts or to book transfers to the concerts in the city of La Plata.
