The gathering will be held on March 13 and 14 at the Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City, across two days that will bring together dozens of bands and soloists in front of thousands of attendees.

The revelation of the participating artists took place this Friday at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, next to the Estadio GNP Seguros, through an activity that included a bicycle ride equipped with a loudspeaker playing snippets of songs from some of the guests.

"It is one of the most versatile lineups we have had, and that is what people are looking for," the festival's promoter, Itzel González, stated to EFE, explaining that the event seeks to offer an alternative of positive escapism in the face of the global situation.

"The world is at a complicated moment, and we are trying to find a space, a bubble that provides joy and optimism," she added.

The sonic offering of the lineup covers a wide stylistic range that intertwines established international rock legends with cutting-edge exponents and urban music.

Among the Ibero-American bands, historical groups stand out, such as Los Auténticos Decadentes, Attaque 77, Los Tres, Cuca, La Gusana Ciega, and Zurdok, alongside key soloists such as Carla Morrison, Ximena Sariñana, Ed Maverick, and Kase.O.

"Every year, Vive Latino is characterized by always honoring and recognizing the foundations of Latin American rock; they always have a very important place in the festival," the promoter noted regarding the strong presence of classic groups, while highlighting the arrival of "a lot of new blood" with artists who have a strong youth following, such as Milo J, Latin Mafia, and Barry B.

The international list also includes the American hard rock band Mötley Crüe, the Chilean children's phenomenon 31 Minutos, and groups such as Kasabian, Turnstile, Epica, Bacilos, Cultura Profética, Skatalites, Bandalos Chinos, and Carolina Durante, among others.

Throughout its more than two and a half decades of history, Vive Latino has brought together the most iconic names in Spanish-language and international music, hosting on its stages figures ranging from Café Tacvba, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, and Caifanes to global benchmarks like Red Hot Chili Peppers or Guns N' Roses.

The Vive Latino festival, backed by the Amazon platform, consolidates itself after 27 editions and with this lineup as the main cultural and sonic showcase of the Mexican capital.
