Everything You Need to Know

Vive Latino celebrates its 25th edition March 15 and 16, cementing its status as “the father of all festivals in Mexico” and one of the capital city’s favorites. For the second year in a row, and thanks to an agreement with Amazon Music, the shows will be streamed for free on the digital platform in a nonstop broadcast lasting over 10 hours, the company announced on Thursday (March 13).

With an eclectic lineup and multiple activities, Mexico’s longest running festival returns to its original venue, the Estadio GNP Seguros (formerly Foro Sol), after hosting its annual edition in 2024 at the Curva 4 of the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez — which annually hosts the Formula 1 and festivals such as Corona Capital and Arre — due to renovations.

Since its inception in 1998, the Festival Iberoamericano de Cultura Musical, better known as Vive Latino, has maintained a rebellious personality that breaks stigmas: It was the first to include pop, reggaeton, cumbia and regional Mexican artists in its lineup; it once expanded to a four-day event; it incorporated Anglo bands while remaining the ultimate celebration of Spanish-language rock; and it became the first Latin American festival to launch an edition in Spain.

“El Vive,” as its fans lovingly call it, debuted on Nov. 28-29, 1998, at the Foro Sol, located in eastern Mexico City. Since then, it has been held annually, except in 1999, 2002, and 2021 — the last due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, the festival will introduce a new offering called “Música para mandar a volar” (Music to let go), described as “an unprecedented act of heartbreak.” It will feature prominent figures from Mexican rock such as Saúl Hernández (Caifanes) and Leonardo de Lozane (Fobia), alongside pop stars from yesterday and today including Belinda, Yuri, Daniela Romo and Napoleón.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Vive Latino 2025, including who’s performing, where to get tickets and how to watch the festival remotely.
