Are there raves in Tucumán?

Who throws electronic parties in Tucumán?

Tucumán is 420’s home in Argentina. Together with RAVE we throw dates all year round in San Miguel de Tucumán. RAVE is the brand for club nights; 420 adds the special dates and the summer festival.

There are also other local promoters and collectives running their own nights. It is worth following several accounts so you do not miss anything.

What music plays?

At 420 and RAVE nights the focus is techno, progressive and melodic techno. Techno is the crew’s rawest side, for long club nights. Progressive has a tradition in northern Argentina of long sets shaped like a journey.

Where are dates announced?

Dates are announced on Instagram, on the 420 and RAVE accounts, often only a few weeks ahead. Tickets are sold online on each event’s ticketing.

What happens in December in Tucumán?

In December the party leaves the city. On Saturday December 12th 2026 we hold the 420 Festival at El Cadillal, an open air day festival by the lake, about 25 km from San Miguel on route 9.

What is already set:

• From 2 pm into the night.
• 2 stages: a progressive stage and a techno stage, plus a chill zone.
• A drone show and hot air balloons lifting off at sunset.
• 18 and over only.
• Tickets and tables on TicketPass.

The line up is announced in stages. All the details are in the 420 Festival El Cadillal guide.
