One band&#8217;s agency said it had not even received an offer.<\/p>\n<p>The event was promoted for <strong>Estadio Gigante de Arroyito<\/strong>, Rosario Central&#8217;s stadium, with a capacity of 48.000 people. The venue had not hosted a concert since Guns N&#8217; Roses performed there in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The apparently newly established producer <strong>Underdog Entertainment<\/strong> backed the festival. Its poster also advertised involvement from <strong>Banco Macro<\/strong> and ticketing company <strong>Entrada Uno<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>An exclusive presale for the bank&#8217;s customers was scheduled for 15 October. The bank, club and producer promoted the event on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Questions emerged soon after the announcement. The proposed date fell during the Southern Hemisphere winter, while Red Hot Chili Peppers are recording a new album and have not performed publicly since early 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Cosqu\u00edn Rock producer Jos\u00e9 Palazzo shared the poster with the comment \u201ccompletely false\u201d. Happy Mondays manager Alan McGee told a journalist the news \u201cis not true\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Red Hot Chili Peppers&#8217; official account then commented on the announcement: \u201cSorry, not us\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>Festival posts removed, bank withdraws<\/h2>\n<p>Following the denial, the producer and festival deleted all their posts. Underdog has not issued a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Banco Macro distanced itself from the event, stating: \u201cBanco Macro does not organise or sponsor Music Gol Festival or the advertised artists\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The bank said its involvement was limited to presale benefits and financing through its cards, and that it had decided to withdraw the instalment offers.<\/p>\n<h2>Rosario Central prepares legal action<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Rosario Central<\/strong> general manager Javier Sol\u00e1 said the club had signed a stadium rental contract and was not organising the show. Its legal department is handling the case.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not the organisers; we simply grant them temporary use of the stadium,\u201d Sol\u00e1 said.<\/p>\n<p>Before the denial became public, Sol\u00e1 had demanded confirmation of the artists from the producer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOtherwise, the club will make a decision at midday because sales begin tomorrow and we do not want anyone to suffer any harm,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Sol\u00e1 said the producer had paid 50% of the agreed rental fee in advance, approximately 100.000 dollars, following several months of negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the contract was signed with a company incorporated in Spain that has a commercial representative in Argentina. The company&#8217;s identity was not disclosed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Music Gol Festival in Rosario unravelled within a day of its announcement after the agencies for all
