Apatzingán Sets Expo Feria 2025 With Star Acts and Content Rules

Performers will submit setlists in advance to align with Michoacán’s pacification policy against songs seen as apología del delito.

Overview

  • The Expo Feria Apatzingán 2025 is scheduled for October 17–31 with a roster that includes Gloria Trevi, Banda El Recodo, Los Recoditos, Pancho Barraza, Los Ángeles Negros and Los Caminantes.
  • Municipal leaders project more than 250,000 visitors and an economic impact of at least 350 million pesos, with about 40% of costs covered by three sponsors.
  • Officials say fairgrounds and access routes have been upgraded to improve circulation and draw attendees from other Mexican states and returning visitors from the United States.
  • Contracts ask artists, especially those who perform corridos, to avoid pieces that could be interpreted as praising crime and to pre-clear their song lists with authorities.
  • The measures follow a prior controversy involving Los Hermanos Jiménez, and local officials acknowledge differing views on what constitutes apología del delito.
