The 2010 concert wasn't in Bogotá: it was in Sopó
We all call it "Bogotá 2010". International archives list it that way and that's the name it took in the community's memory. But the stage wasn't in Bogotá: it was at the Centro de Eventos y Conciertos in Sopó, Cundinamarca, and the concert took place on Friday, December 3, 2010.
We verified it against four independent sources: setlist.fm, Rammstein World, the Colombian press of those days and the pre-show announcements. Before this, we had the date recorded as December 2010 with no exact day, and the city as Bogotá.
What changes in the archive: the timeline milestone and the event page now carry the exact date and the real venue, with the nuance explained — we still use "Bogotá 2010" as the name, because that's how it's known, but the correct fact is on the record. The event page also adds the opening band (The Brand New Blood), the effects left behind due to logistical difficulties on the South American leg, and the complete 19-song setlist.
What doesn't change: the URLs. This is an archive and addresses here are permanent.
That same review pinned down the failed 2005 attempt: the concert was set for October 22 at El Campín and fell through because on July 30, in Gothenburg, Flake ran into Till with his Segway during "Amerika" and injured his knee. Every remaining date of the year was cancelled, and with them the Colombian debut.
