The event will be held in Mexico City in November
Next month in Mexico City at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Corona Capital music festival will take place from Friday, November 14th through Sunday, November 16th and feature performances from artists including Chappell Roan, Foo Fighters, Linkin Park, Deftones, Queens Of The Stone Age, Vampire Weekend, Aurora, Franz Ferdinand, Weezer, Garbage, Alabama Shakes, and many more. Corona Capital is Mexico’s largest international music festival and has built a global reputation for booking lineups stacked with some of the most exciting established and up-and-coming indie, alternative, and pop artists in the world.
Where many events in North America have shifted their focus towards lineups that lean into Top 40 acts and artists climbing the algorithmically influenced streaming music charts, Corona Capital has remained true to its ethos of booking a highly curated event that emulates the magic of the early 2000s festival lineups that inspired its formation in 2010. Each year, Corona Capital brings together an impressive array of performers from across the alternative, indie, punk and pop landscapes, presenting an eclectic mix of living legends, future superstars on the upswing, and the indie artists driving underground culture forward towards its next transformation.
Beyond the performing artists, the festival’s attraction as a unique destination for music fans lies in its setting in the heart of Mexico City, a culturally vibrant and cosmopolitan metropolis home to world-class museums, bustling arts districts, a culinary scene encompassing authentic street food to high-end dining, and a rich history as the site of the ancient Aztec capital Tenochtitlan. From the floating gardens of Xochimilco to the hip and trendy nightlife of the Roma, Condesa and Zona Rosa districts, there is no shortage of attractions to keep festival goers spiritually enriched and entertained. One could argue that adding on a couple of days to the trip to get a taste of all that Mexico City has to offer isn’t so much an option as it is a must.
With round-trip flight options currently available from cities like New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles ranging from less than $300-400, the relative affordability of dining, activities, transportation and lodging in Mexico City makes it an attractive destination for music festival fans when compared to similar events in other North American cities. It comes with the added benefit of experiencing live music among the crowds of Corona Capital, known for their unique festival fashion and their enthusiastic embrace of the performers on stage. Attending Corona Capital is truly an unforgettable experience, and one every music fan should aim to take part in.
Corona Capital is Mexico’s premier annual international music festival, organized by OCESA at Curve 4 of the Hermanos Rodríguez Racetrack in Mexico City since 2010. In addition to its music, the festival stands out for its focus on sustainability, holding the international ISO 20121 certification. It also promotes inclusion and accessibility year after year, offering services for people with hearing disabilities or reduced mobility. Billie Eilish, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, My Chemical Romance, and Paul McCartney are some of the artists who have headlined its previous editions, and this 2025 promises to deliver an unforgettable edition.
