To an outsider, there may be confusion between the [[demonym]]s of the inhabitants of Concepción and the nearby city of Penco. Due to the previous location of Concepción being where Penco currently stands, inhabitants of Concepción are called ''penquistas'' while inhabitants of Penco are known as ''pencones''. Additionally, the unofficial term ''pencopolitano'' has been coined to refer to locals of any commune belonging to the [[Greater Concepción|metropolis]] or, in a wider definition, to the [[Concepcion Province, Chile|Concepción province]], although the term penquista can technically be used in this case as well.

In 2014, the ''Rock en Conce'' festival began to take shape. It would be held outdoors, in the city's ''Parque Bicentenario'' (Bicentennial Park), and access to it would be free. The aim of the festival would be to restore the musical spotlight that the city embodied and that earned it the reputation of being the ''cradle of Chilean rock'' and, at the same time, to establish itself as a major tourist attraction for the city.<ref>{{Cite web |date=December 31, 2014 |title=Festival "Rock en Conce" ya tiene fecha y lugar |url=https://www.tvn.cl/especiales/musica/noticias/festival-rock-en-conce-ya-tiene-fecha-y-lugar-1543128 |website=Televisión Nacional de Chile |last1=Chile |first1=Televisión Nacional de }}</ref> Its first edition took place on Saturday, March 7, 2015, and since then it has been held with great success every year at the end of each summer, bringing together emerging local bands with major and renowned artists from the national and international scene.<ref>{{Cite web |last=María Ignacia Inostroza |date=March 19, 2019 |title=#FotosRP: ¡Todo un éxito Rock En Conce 2019! |url=https://www.rockandpop.cl/2019/03/fotosrp-todo-un-exito-rock-en-conce-2019/ |website=Rock & Pop}}</ref>
