Christian Nodal brought his mariacheño fusion to his SXSW Billboard headlining set.

On Friday, March 15, rising regional Mexican artist Christian Nodal headlined Billboard’s annual THE STAGE at SXSW concert series, which takes over Austin’s Mood Amphitheater within Waterloo Park. Throughout the set, Nodal – who pioneered mariacheño, a subgenre that fuses mariachi’s strings and horns with the norteño accordion – leans into his heartthrob appeal, blowing kisses and flashing his warm smile that could melt an iceberg. THE STAGE takes place from March 14-16 as part of SXSW, Austin’s annual music, film and tech festival, and features performances from Billboard’s latest cover stars: Party, Nodal, and Illenium.
