Mark Sutherland The Hives have been around for 30 years now, but they could end 2023 as Venezuela’s new favorite band. According to their British management company, ATC Management, the Swedish group will become the first major international rock band to appear in the South American territory for a decade, when they headline Caracas’ Concha Acústica de Bello Monte venue on December 7. U.S.
sanctions against the country were finally eased earlier this year. “Because of the sanctions, it became an unviable market [for international rock bands],” ATC’s Matthew Greer tells Variety. “We just happened to have the good timing to be the first ones in.
Hopefully, The Hives can be part of the journey to re-open the country and have bigger artists go down there. “Venezuela is such a huge country, but it’s been isolated from the benefits of the music industry boom in Latin America over the last 10 years. It’s definitely overdue for Western artists to go there.” The visit will be filmed by a local production crew for a documentary and ATC’s Brian Message expects there to be some “spicy” moments on the visit to one of the few territories the Hives have never played before.
The date is part of a larger tour of South America, where the band’s notoriously no-holds-barred shows have found a new audience since their return from an 11-year album hiatus with “The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons,” a No. 2 hit in the U.K. and a top 50 record in America.
ATC took on the band in 2022 and worked with them on what Message calls “a comeback plot designed to hit it hard in key markets”. The original plan was to quickly release a follow-up album, but that will now emerge next year after the band landed the support slot on Arctic Monkeys’ U.K. stadium
