Skillet: Revolution Tour 2025 Concludes in Argentina After a Decade-Long Wait

To close out their South American tour “Revolution Tour 2025,” which visited Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina, American band Skillet made their long-awaited return to the country after a ten-year absence. The concert took place on Thursday, October 30th, at the “Arena Sur” Cultural Center in Buenos Aires, where it sold out with 2,500 tickets. The show also featured the opening act, Boanerges.

At 8:15 PM, Boanerges took the stage. This power metal band, formed in 1993, has released eight albums, and just a few months ago, they dropped their fifth studio album. They had been touring across America with their “Parte de la Historia Tour 2024,” a South American tour that included dates in Mexico City, Guatemala City, San José (Costa Rica), Bogotá (Colombia), Quito and Riobamba (Ecuador), and Santiago (Chile), where they also performed new tracks from their latest album, InconsciencIA.

By 9:15 PM, after the hype generated by Boanerges, Skillet kicked off their set with “Surviving the Game,” a track from their album Dominion: Day of Destiny.

The setlist featured some of their most iconic anthems, including “Monster” (5x Platinum), “Awake and Alive,” “Hero” (with over one billion streams), “Comatose” (Rock Song of the Year at the GMA Dove Awards), “Not Gonna Die,” “Whispers in the Dark” (the most-played song on Christian rock radio), and many more.

For the grand finale, after a brief interval during which the lights were dimmed and the band left the stage, the crowd was stunned when John Cooper returned, wearing an Argentina national team jersey, number 10, in tribute to Lionel Messi.
