After a day in which Javier Milei received the credentials of the brand new ambassador of the United States, Peter Lamelasdecided to focus on social networks, as is customary for the president. In the meantime, the president viewed a tweet from the user Caps from Heaven that showed an alleged note from the newspaper Clarín that announced that AC/DC had invited him to sing at their show in Riverscheduled for March 2026.
“I prepared my whole life to see Javo sing Thunderstruck“said the post, accompanied by a neatly edited screenshot that looked authentic. In a matter of seconds, the President took the bait and shared the publication, and celebrated it with a characteristic “VAAAAAAMOOOOO“The Head of State was convinced that the recognition of the legendary Australian hard rock group reflected their musical and vocal virtues.
Of course, it was all very well-crafted fake news. The capture did not belong to the “Gran Argentine newspaper” and never existed any invitation from AC/DC for such a concert. Presidential enthusiasm, which had grown at the rate of retweets, quickly deflated. Although Milei’s relationship with rock culture transcends the anecdote and borders on personal worship, the truth is that this curious episode recalled certain disasters in
Javier Milei’s last recital at the Movistar Arenaheld in September, had been a mix between a political act, a rock show and a libertarian mass. With a lighting setup worthy of a stadium, the president took the stage accompanied by his musical group, “The Presidential Band“, made up of several LLA legislators, performing versions of national rock classics. That night, the concert opened with “Panic Show” by La Renga and closed with “We’re Not Gonna Take It”, of Twisted Sister, chanted by thousands of fans waving purple flags and prop bills.
The international press described the show as “an unprecedented fusion of political rally and heavy metal recital“, and the organization estimated that more than 10,000 people participated, with tickets sold out weeks before. Therefore, Milei must have estimated that the supposed recognition of AC/DC sounded plausible and he imagined going up to the River stage to perform ““Thunderstruck”the same theme with which he usually sets music to his campaign events. Upon discovering the deception, Milei deleted her post without comment.
