Music
Estadio Monumental has been the venue to scarce music events since its opening date:
- Sui Generis - Reunion Tour, 2001
- Alejandro Sanz - No Es Lo Mismo Tour, 2004
- Paul McCartney - Up and Coming Tour, 2011
- Britney Spears - The Femme Fatale Tour, 2011
- Lady GaGa- Born This Way Ball Tour, 2012
Other notable events took place in an open area south of the stadium premises, commonly known as "Explanada del Estadio Monumental" and often mistakenly regarded as part of the complex; not to be confused with the south parking lot actually belonging to the stadium that also serves as a music venue for shows holding less than 10,000 people.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“But the dark changed to red, and torches shone,
And deafening music shook the leaves; a troop
Shouldered a litter with a wounded man,
Or smote upon the string and to the sound
Sang of the beast that gave the fatal wound.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire
Opens its eight bells out, skulls’ mouths which will not tire
To tell how there is no music or movement which secures
Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.”
—Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
“It is from the blues that all that may be called American music derives its most distinctive character.”
—James Weldon Johnson (1871–1938)
