CYNIC BAND

 An Upcoming Night of 
Progressive Metal Alchemy 
Progressive Metal Alchemy in Buenos Aires

On January 17th, 2026, Buenos Aires will host one of those rare, transformative nights when musicianship, emotion, and cosmic intensity collide onstage. Cynic, one of the most innovative and influential progressive metal bands of our time, are bringing their Latin America tour to Argentina —.

Formed in Miami, Florida’s vibrant metal scene around 1987, Cynic spent decades pushing musical boundaries, blending genres, and creating the sound of their own. They’ve built a loyal global fanbase — and their live performances are truly unforgettable.

They will be arriving in Buenos Aires alongside the avant‑garde force Imperial Triumphant, promising a night where metal meets art, ritual, and pure sonic exploration.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of the legendary Focus and Traced in Air records, or you’ve recently fallen into the musical universe that Cynic offer, this show is the chance to witness a band that changed the shape of progressive music — and continues to evolve, so you can't miss it.
