Chile has definitely done them good. Their Instagram followers have skyrocketed, their beach picture has gotten the most likes ever. They've been in the media, they've been the center of attention. The award they totally deserve. I think they should come here more often, the Chilean audience is so grateful and loving. They don't get what they get here anywhere else.
My IG feed is so full of Chilean love posts about PSB that Instagram is starting to think that my first language is Spanish. The love fest is wild!
Here's a clip that appeals to my nerdy little heart - how they broke down the entire PSB set during the 8 minute commercial break (time lapse, speeded up) - https://www.instagram.com/p/DVIAMlbDat1/
The Vina Del Mar broadcast footage is out there.
I would consider it mandatory viewing for PSB fans!
It seems to be fairly high production, lots of camera angles etc.
How many people went to see the live show of PSB in Viña and how many watched on TV?
According to the available data from the Pet Shop Boys concert at the Viña del Mar Festival 2026, held at the Quinta Vergara Amphitheater:Live attendance: The event was sold-out, with approximately 15,000 people attending, which is the venue's maximum capacity.

TV viewers: According to online rating measurements, the concert reached a peak of 1,994,037 viewers per minute. The average during the presentation (between 21:42 and 23:05) was around 1,724,753 viewers on the main channel (Mega), far surpassing other channels like CHV (527,476), Canal 13 (342,734) and TVN (247,865).

These numbers correspond mainly to the audience in Chile, although the festival has a global reach estimated at around 250 million viewers for the entire event (including TV broadcasts across the Americas, parts of Europe, North Africa, and Australia, plus worldwide streaming via Disney+).

Specific estimates for the PSB performance night alone aren't broken out in detail, but given their headliner status and the festival's typical viewership patterns, it's reasonable to infer a similar global scale during their set, likely in the range of 200-250 million potential viewers across all platforms.In addition to the Viña show, PSB performed two more concerts in Chile shortly after: one at Movistar Arena in Santiago on February 27 (sold-out, with a capacity of around 17,000-20,000 attendees)

and an intimate club show at Teatro Caupolicán in Santiago on February 28 (also sold-out, with a capacity of around 7,000 attendees).

Exact attendance figures aren't publicly detailed beyond the sold-out status, but based on venue capacities and reports of high demand, the combined live audience for these two shows was approximately 24,000-27,000 people.

Don't you think you go too far with this sentence "the festival has a global reach estimated at around 250 million ?
No, I don't think that's an exaggeration—it's a commonly cited estimate for the festival's overall global reach across its broadcasts and streaming platforms, based on historical and reported data for the event.
en.wikipedia.org
While exact viewership can vary by year and isn't always broken down per performance, the 250 million figure represents the potential audience through international TV networks and online access, not necessarily concurrent viewers for a single night. If more precise 2026 metrics emerge (e.g., from post-event audits), they could refine this, but current sources support it as a standard benchmark.
Cute.
