Green Day’s Triumphant Return to Mexico, Toto’s Nostalgia & More Day 1 Highlights From Corona Capital 2024


From Greeen Day to The Mars Volta, Toto and more, here are the best moments from the first day of the Corona Capital festival in Mexico City.

On its first day, the festival brought together over 74,000 attendees — according to the promoter Ocesa — who enjoyed shows by The Mars Volta, Warpaint, Cage The Elephant, The Vaccines, BadBadNotGood, Twin Shadow, David Kushner, Clairo, Zedd, French 79, Honne and others, who pleased even the most demanding music lovers gathered at the Curva 4, former headquarters of F1, in Mexico City. One of the surprises that the festival brought this year was veteran rock band Toto, which attracted thousands of attendees from various generations to one of the main stages to sing at the top of their lungs classics such as “Africa,” “Hold The Line,” “Rossana” and “I’ll Be Over You.” Another of the highlights was the debut of the British singer Raye, whose charisma made her one of the most applauded acts. Punk rock trio Green Day gave their last show of the year in Mexico — part of the commemorative tour for the 20th anniversary of their album American Idiot — and the occasion couldn’t have been more emotional for the band led by singer Billie Joe Armstrong and his followers.
