Pacifica Announces Support Slot
This week, Argentine quartet Pacifica revealed they will open for Grammy winner St. Vincent and Sonic Youth co-founder Kim Gordon at Buenos Aires’ Complejo C. In an Instagram post, the band wrote: “@fender goodies thank you fender so excited to open for @st_vincent and @kimletgordon en el complejo C el jueves que viene queeeeee 🥳🥳 @chaboi2000 @saldiaspolocultural.” Translated, Pacifica added, “So excited to open for St. Vincent and Kim Gordon at Complejo C next Thursday—woohoo!”
Rising Alt-pop Act’s Journey
Formed in Buenos Aires by singer–guitarist Pili Collado alongside her longtime collaborators, Pacifica first drew attention with their energetic live shows and melodic hooks. Last year, they played a set at Quilmes Rock, posting “un poquito de quilmes rockkkkk 💘 muchas gracias a todos que vinieron! nos vemos pronto 🐥🐥🐥 con amor, Pacifica”—“a little bit of Quilmes Rock…thank you all who came! see you soon with love, Pacifica.” That appearance helped cement their reputation on Argentina’s indie circuit and led to support slots with established acts.
On The Cusp Of A New Chapter
While gearing up for this upcoming showcase, Pacifica is also hard at work on their sophomore album. In a December update, the band teased “LP2 is in the making. The best part about recording it in the UK is we get to participate in English culture such as Percy Pig and baby Guinness shots. xxx Pacifica.” Splitting time between Buenos Aires and London’s studios, they’ve drawn on diverse influences—from post-punk bass lines to dream-pop textures—promising a more expansive sound when the album drops.
Across their social channels, Pacifica has kept fans engaged with behind-the-scenes photos and candid polls—most recently asking Japanese followers which cities they’d like to see the band perform in next. Their dialogue with audiences reflects a DIY ethos, even as they step onto a major stage this Thursday.
Opening for St. Vincent, whose genre-bending artistry has earned six Grammy nominations, and Kim Gordon, a pioneer of alternative rock, represents both a challenge and an opportunity for Pacifica. Industry insiders point to these kinds of high-profile support slots as launch pads: the exposure can translate into wider international booking offers and streaming boosts within key markets.
Fans have already begun snapping teasers of the venue setup, tagging Pacifica in Stories and sharing their excitement for seeing the band before the headliners take the stage. With guitar riffs plugged in and stage lights primed, Pacifica is ready to showcase its blend of catchy choruses and jangly guitars to a capacity crowd.
The show on Thursday promises a stacked lineup: Chilean singer Chaboi2000 and Saldías Polo Cultural act Generación Castillo will also appear in support. Doors open at 7 pm, with Pacifica slated to hit the stage around 8 pm.
Pacifica’s leap from local festivals to this international-scale bill underscores a rising trajectory. Their ability to merge heartfelt songwriting with dynamic performances has attracted fans across Latin America and beyond. If all goes well at Complejo C, the band will return home with new momentum—ready to roll out more singles ahead of their LP2 release.
As the countdown to Thursday ticks down, Pacifica fans are sharing setlist predictions and dressing up in band merch to show support. For Pacifica, it’s more than an opening slot—it’s a statement that Argentina’s indie scene can hold its own alongside today’s biggest innovators.
With instruments tuned and spirits high, Pacifica steps into the spotlight ahead of two genre-bending icons. Next Thursday, the night belongs first to the local breakout act, and then to St. Vincent and Kim Gordon.
Looking ahead, Pacifica’s next local headline show is slated for early summer, details to be announced after they return from their UK recording sessions. For now, their message is simple: get ready, Buenos Aires, Pacifica is on the rise.
