Grupo Frontera, Paulina Rubio, Wisin, and other big names are coming together in Neiva: what you need to know about this concert.
On June 29th, the city of Neiva will witness a historic event in Colombian entertainment: "The Perfect Combination 6."
An event that promises to redefine the concept of concert production in the country, thanks to an investment of more than 10 billion pesos , an infrastructure designed from scratch, and a lineup that brings together international music figures.
Organized by Las Mejores Producciones (LMP), the show will have a capacity for more than 30,000 attendees in an arena built exclusively for the occasion.

This infrastructure, called the LMP Arena, has been under design for more than six months. It is a complex that will include 1,300 boxes, seating for 9,000 people, green areas, high-heeled floors, restrooms, parking, and multiple security rings.
"This concert has a different connotation than any other in the country. The stadium with the most seats in Colombia has about 850; we have a capacity for 1,300 boxes," the organizers emphasized.
In addition, the technical assembly included the construction of a sort of underground pool to support the 140 tons of equipment and structures that make up the largest stage ever assembled in the country, with a platform opening of 32.5 meters and LED screens of up to 200 square meters.
The artistic lineup is another of the event's major attractions. Led by Grupo Frontera—making their second appearance in Colombia after Estéreo Picnic— the lineup includes Wisin, Paulina Rubio, Pepe and Ángela Aguilar, Grupo Niche, Yeison Jiménez, Elder Dayán, Luis Alfonso, and Rafael Santos.
Hiring these artists involved extensive logistics: 11 private planes, presidential suites, armored vehicles, and a security arrangement coordinated with the Army, the National Police, and three private companies.
Additionally, each artist is expected to offer a special performance: Paulina Rubio will include mariachi music and a collection of exclusive hats , while Ángela Aguilar will have a show tailored to her needs.

The investment in artistic talent alone exceeds two million dollars , and the technical assembly represents more than two billion pesos.
The concert will begin at 7:00 p.m. and run until 8 or 9 a.m. the following day, making it not only a musical spectacle but a fully immersive experience that no other city in the country has been able to replicate.
'The Perfect Combination 6' is a cultural and tourism initiative that aims to position Neiva as the epicenter of major events in Colombia, demonstrating that with vision, investment, and planning, it is possible to transform a city through art and music.
