The concert for artist Fonseca, originally scheduled for October 24 at El Campín stadium in Bogotá, has been relocated to the Vive Claro venue. The decision aims to protect and favor the recovery of the stadium's grass turf following ongoing controversy surrounding the state of the pitch after recent events.

The turf's condition became a point of major public discussion following two concerts by the South Korean band BTS held at the stadium on October 2 and October 3, 2026. In response to the growing debate over the use of the sports facility for musical performances, sports commentator Carlos Antonio Vélez publicly criticized Karol G and other artists, arguing that the stadium should be strictly reserved for football.

Following the venue change, the promoter responsible for the Fonseca concert addressed both the relocation decision and the outlook for future concert events at El Campín. While some commentators and stakeholders have applauded the measure to protect the pitch, the ongoing tension highlights a broader debate regarding the dual use of the Bogotá stadium for major entertainment events and athletic matches.
