Argentine musician Luciano Pereyra will perform at the papal mass in Luján on November 11, marking a significant moment during Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Argentina. The announcement was made emotionally by Pereyra during a sold-out concert at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires, where he revealed he would sing his latest single, "Si No Es Contigo," before the pontiff. This event holds deep personal resonance for the artist, who hails from Luján, located 70 kilometers west of the capital, and revisits his history with the Vatican; 26 years ago, at age 18, he represented Latin American youth before Pope John Paul II in Rome .
The papal itinerary spans from November 8 to 11, covering Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and Luján. While Pereyra headlines the final mass in Luján, other artists are scheduled for various events. DF Entertainment, the producer behind Lollapalooza Argentina, manages the logistics for the youth vigil in Palermo and the mass in Córdoba, handling security and stage production for these massive gatherings . In Córdoba, performers include Jairo and Jorge Rojas, while Abel Pintos is set to appear at an event in Claypole .
Pope Leo XIV, 71, recently underwent surgery for pulmonary adenocarcinoma but has resumed public duties, confirming his travel plans with the phrase "Argentina, allá vamos" . The visit includes institutional meetings with President Javier Milei and labor representatives, alongside liturgical celebrations. Registration is required for the youth vigil and clerical meetings, whereas general masses remain open access .
