For one night only, the real-life DEA agents who were instrumental in taking down notorious cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar will come to Sydney.

The actions of Javier Pena and Steve Murphy were used as inspiration for the hit Netflix show, Narcos, which dives into the story of Columbia’s infamous drug cartels and Pablo Escobar’s fight to stay at the top.

Capturing Pablo – An Evening with Javier Pena & Steve Murphy will see Pena and Murphy discuss the rise and fall of the Medellin Cartel, and how they managed to bring down its leader. Including exclusive stories and images not seen before, the event will give Narcos fans and those interested in Escobar the opportunity to hear first-hand from the two men who were key in his capture.

It’s going down at the Sydney Opera House on Tuesday July 11. Tickets viaLive Nation.
