**Corona Capital 2024: A Celebration of Returns and Alternative Sounds**
On Friday, November 15, 2024, the much-anticipated Corona Capital 2024 kicked off in Mexico City, promising a revival of excitement for rock and alternative music enthusiasts who have missed out on their favorite bands in recent years. This year’s edition strives to rekindle the joy for music lovers with a lineup that boasts some of the most iconic names from past decades.
The festival, held at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, features a spectacular array of 30 acts on its opening day. Headliners such as Green Day, Toto, and Zedd return to Mexico to captivate audiences who grew up listening to their hits in the ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s, sharing the stage with other prominent groups like The Mars Volta and Cage The Elephant.
Green Day, having previously performed in 2017 as part of the Revolution Radio Tour, makes a return, this time to promote their new album, “Saviors,” and celebrate iconic anniversaries of seminal albums “Dookie” and “American Idiot.” Fans can expect tributes to classics like “When I Come Around,” “Basket Case,” and “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.”
Zedd also returns for his second appearance at the festival. A key figure in the electronic music scene, the Russian-German DJ wowed audiences at EDC Mexico 2024 and is now set to enchant once again with hits like “Clarity” and “Break Free,” drawn from his recent album “Telos.”
For the first time, Toto graces the Corona Capital stage, having visited Mexico on various occasions, including the 2024 Feria de San Marcos. Despite not promoting a new album, their enduring legacy guarantees a captivating live performance of hits such as “Africa” and “Rosanna.”
Other notable acts include indie rockers Cage The Elephant, returning with their latest album “Neon Pill,” and the progressive rock duo The Mars Volta, set to perform at their first Corona Capital after reuniting in 2022.
Newcomers to the festival include Brigitte Calls Me Baby, bringing a blend of retro rock, and Air Yel, a pop artist gaining traction on TikTok with hits like “Drive Me Home.”
