Residente to Play Free Zócalo Concert Sept. 6 in Mexico City

Six rappers from Mujer en Cypher will open the government-backed show at 6:30 p.m.

Overview

  • City officials confirm the main performance for Saturday, September 6 at 8:00 p.m. with free admission, an announcement attributed to Mexico City head of government Clara Brugada.
  • The opening set features Arianna Puello, Ximbo, Niña Dioz, Prania Esponda, Azuky and Mena, accompanied by trombonist María Balvina and DJ Ninja, with a scheduled start at 6:30 p.m.
  • Authorities and local reports advise arriving early and using Metro stations Allende or Bellas Artes, with Zócalo/Tenochtitlán closed and auxiliary screens planned on surrounding streets.
  • An official setlist has not been released, and Milenio presents a speculative lineup drawn from recent shows that mixes solo tracks with Calle 13 favorites.
  • Milenio coverage suggests a turnout of at least 150,000 people, though the outlet also published a conflicting item that incorrectly lists the date as December 6.
