About Corona Capital 2026
Corona Capital has spent sixteen editions doing one thing well: booking the bands Mexico City otherwise never gets to see. The 2026 edition runs November 20–22 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, the Formula One circuit that turns into a festival site for one weekend a year, with Gorillaz, The Strokes and Twenty One Pilots at the top of the bill.
Underneath them is the reason people fly in. Mumford & Sons, The xx, The Offspring, Underworld and Pierce the Veil fill out the upper card, and the A to Z runs deep into acts that play 500-capacity rooms at home: Model/Actriz, Militarie Gun, Friko, Ratboys, Ela Minus, Fcukers. Johnny Marr, Manic Street Preachers, The Black Crowes and Tricky cover the back catalog. BUNT. plays a set in the round.
Expect indie rock, indie pop, alt-pop and electronic across 72 acts.

The band that rebooted New York rock, with a deep catalog of deadpan cool, still untouchable live when the engine catches.
Indie rock
Genre-agnostic arena duo (rap, ukulele, and existential dread) with a devoted Clique and lore deep enough for a wiki.
Alt-popRap-rock
Jamie xx
Producer and DJ from The xx whose solo records stitch steel drums, sampled soul and UK club history into dancefloor music with a melancholy streak.
ElectronicHouse
Banjo-house crossover with folk samples and organic textures and festival-sized drops, stomping the line between hoedown and main stage.
FolktronicaDance
Cavernous piano ballads and subwoofer bass from the producer who taught a generation of singers to sit inside their own reverb.
ElectronicAlt-R&B
Atlanta's shape shifter, from bubblegum trap to a full psych rock detour, and never quite where you last left him.
Hip-hopPsych-rock
'Messy' made her unavoidable, with raw South London soul-pop, a busted-heart snarl and a voice that earns the Winehouse comparisons.
Alt-popSoul
Vancouver's TikTok-resurrected art-rockers have quirky harmonies and a huge devoted crowd, and a back catalog rediscovered by a generation that made it theirs.
Indie rock
Banjo-driven crescendos that defined a decade of festival folk, now delivered with the electric guitars left plugged in. The singalongs are never optional.
Folk rockIndie folk
San Diego post-hardcore romantics enjoying a massive TikTok-era second act, the scene's most swooned-over comeback.
Post-hardcoreEmo
Brighton indie built on hooks that outlived the 2006 landfill purge, still filling rooms on the strength of 'Naive'.
Indie rockBritpop
Thirty years of hooks that snuck genuine punk speed onto daytime radio without anyone noticing, and the catalog is basically all singles.
PunkSkate punk
Whispered minimalism that somehow fills a festival field, with intimacy at headline scale and 'Intro' still raising arm hair.
Indie electronicMinimal pop
Karl Hyde's stream-of-consciousness vocals over Rick Smith's builds, with 'Born Slippy' only ever the doorway into a much stranger catalogue.
TechnoProgressive-house
Absolutely
Alternative
Masked Saguenay duo who loop double-necked microtonal guitar into hypnotic, odd-metred math rock, 2026's strangest breakout story.
Math rockExperimentalProg-rock
Anna Luna
Electronica
Bella Latham's diaristic bedroom pop, funny and mean about being online, written in London and born in South Africa.
Indie popPop
Sunlit Los Angeles guitar pop with new wave bones, the kind of band whose choruses arrive exactly on schedule.
Indie rockNew wave
Kiwi brothers making slinky, falsetto-led alt-funk: Auckland groove-pop polished to a late-night sheen, with basslines that do most of the flirting.
Alt-popFunk-pop
Falsetto-led glam-pop with a '70s sheen and hooks built for a car stereo, with 'Electric Love' plus a catalog slicker than its one-hit reputation.
Indie popGlam pop
Céline Dessberg
Pop
'Beanie' broke him everywhere, with woozy, warm bedroom soul from Baton Rouge: falsetto sighs over underwater guitar.
bedroom R&B
Glasgow trio pairing Lauren Mayberry's clear high vocal with synth hooks built big enough to fill a field, sharp lyrics under the shine.
Alternative
Irish country-pop with a wicked sense of humor and a bigger voice, and a riotous live show that swings from comedy to gut-punch inside one chorus.
Alt-country-pop
Darianna Everett
Electronic
Angus Stone's hazy side project: slacker psych for a very late afternoon, all languid grooves and heavy-lidded charm.
Psych-popIndie rock
Retro-soul made by people who studied the records, with two voices trading leads over immaculate rhythm work, from falsetto sweetness to preacher grit.
SoulR&B
Colombian synth auteur: protest songs you can dance to, built entirely on hardware and delivered with quiet, glowing defiance.
Electronic pop
NYC's buzziest indie-dance trio, with baggy house grooves and downtown cool, like Madchester relocated to a Chinatown basement.
Indie danceHouse
Bogotá's analog house obsessive, splicing live jazz keys into deep cuts that sound like they were recorded to tape because they were.
HouseDeep-house
Xenya Genovese's woozy, guitar-led bedroom pop, sung like she's half-asleep and completely certain: Manchester cool at a whisper.
Indie popBedroom pop

Indie rock
Toronto quartet playing bright, knotty guitar pop behind a masked frontman, with an audience built almost entirely online.
Indie rockPower-pop
Scrappy, hook-stuffed bedroom electro-pop with real wit: Brooklyn miniatures that do more in two minutes than most albums manage.
Electro-pop
Manchester co-fronted pop-punk with a sneer inherited directly from Britpop, featuring dual vocals, big choruses, and bigger attitude.
Pop-punkAlt-rock
Self-made silk: Detroit R&B auteur with a devoted following, self-released and sounding more expensive than most majors.
alt-R&B
The guitar architecture behind The Smiths, still voicing chords nobody else finds, now fronting records of his own.
Indie rockJangle-pop
Bedroom pop that grew into a full band, Jordana Nye writing plainspoken songs about drifting through your twenties.
Bedroom popIndie pop
Confessional South London hip-hop that's jazz-warm, tender, and quietly huge, with verses about family and flaws delivered like conversation.
UK hip-hop
Diary-entry pop with a novelist's detail, where the 'Good Witch' faithful sing every word and British wit sharpens every heartbreak.
Pop
Welsh rock built on political fury and literary reference, and the best guitar solos in Britpop, three decades of conviction deep.
Alt-rockBritpop
Ian Shelton's band bolting hardcore urgency onto power pop choruses, shouting hooks you catch yourself humming later.
Post-hardcorePunk
Sweat-slicked industrial post-punk with menace, glamour, and whispered filth, and a frontman who prowls the crowd like it's his living room.
Industrial post-punk
MOYKA
Norwegian synth pop with widescreen choruses and a cold edge, writing heartbreak at arena scale.
Synth-popElectro-pop
Ms*Gloom

ElectronicHyperpop
Olive Jones
Folk
Electroclash provocateur with filthy drum-machine minimalism and a live show designed to make you uncomfortable, then make you dance about it.
ElectroclashElectro-punk
New Zealand chamber pop sung deadpan over toy orchestras, arch and sweet in the same breath.
Indie popBaroque-pop
Megan James's high, clear voice over Corin Roddick's pitch-shifted, chime-heavy production: future-pop that invented a sound the 2010s ran with.
Synth-popFuture-pop
Quarters

Chicago indie rock at its warmest: twangy, generous, quietly great, a band critics keep discovering all over again.
Indie rock
One third of Run-DMC, and one of the voices that made rap a stadium proposition in the first place: history behind the decks.
Hip-hopOld school hip hop
Rikas
German indie pop with French disco in its wrists, all clean guitars and falsetto.
Indie popDisco
Rip Magic
Alternative
Owen Evans's one-man psych pop project out of Phoenix, whimsical and just slightly cracked.
Psych-popIndie pop
Genre-collapsing alt-pop pioneer, from 'L.E.S. Artistes' to now, always ahead, with new wave and dancehall in one voice.
Alt-popNew wave
'Look At The Time' broke him overnight, and it comes with big-voiced Southern alt-rock, grunge shadows and arena aims.
RockAlt-rock
Viral dark art-pop with spoken-word menace over strings, Gen Z's gothic conscience with a scalpel for a pen.
Dark art-pop
Alex Stephens writing soft, keyboard led dream pop in Liverpool, the sound of a slow Sunday afternoon.
Dream-popBedroom pop
The Robinson brothers' Atlanta band, southern blues rock played loose and loud, feuding and reuniting on a roughly decadal schedule.
Southern-rockBlues-rock
Blown-out digital rock built from cheap synths and cheaper distortion, from an LA duo whose whole appeal is sounding like a corrupted file.
Indie electronicAlt-rockElectroclash
East LA souldies revivalists who play slow-burning, string-laden Chicano soul straight out of the lowrider-oldies tradition, dedicated to the slow dance.
Chicano soulVintage soul
Tipling Rock
Alternative
Trip-hop's shadow king, with the whispered menace of 'Maxinquaye' live and Bristol paranoia thickened by three decades.
Trip-hop
Yes, Dave's daughter, and a genuinely arresting voice striking her own path, closer to torch song than stadium rock.
Alt-rockSinger-songwriter
Two decades of wiry New York indie rock and standup-grade stage banter, still touring on hooks sharpened in 2005.
Indie rockPost-punk
The Swedish teenager who invented a whole sad corner of the internet, grown into a genuine and stranger songwriter.
Cloud-rapHip-hop
Sunlit Greek indie-pop that borrows from yacht rock and eighties AOR without irony, breezy on the surface but wistful once you follow the words.
Indie popSynth-pop
The headliners
Gorillaz · Damon Albarn's animated universe is a genre-omnivorous hits machine and guest-star carousel, two decades of cartoon cover for some of pop's best songwriting. Damon Albarn's cartoon band, which arrives with a guest list rather than a setlist.
The Strokes · The band that rebooted New York rock, with a deep catalog of deadpan cool, still untouchable live when the engine catches. The record that reset New York guitar music, played by the people who made it.
Twenty One Pilots · Genre-agnostic arena duo (rap, ukulele, and existential dread) with a devoted Clique and lore deep enough for a wiki. Two men generating the noise and the theatre of a much larger band.
Up-and-comers to catch early
Friko · Chicago two-piece whose debut swings from whisper to full orchestral racket.
Fcukers · New York indie-dance trio built for the hour when the tent gets loose.
Balu Brigada · New Zealand brothers making unbothered, hook-forward bedroom pop.
Chezile · Slow, bruised guitar songs that found their audience entirely online.
Sofia Isella · Theatrical art pop with a sharp edge aimed squarely at adults.
Other acts worth planning around
Underworld · Thirty years on and still the most physical live techno act working.
Johnny Marr · Those guitar parts, played by the person who wrote them.
The xx · Negative space as a band policy, rare enough on stage now to count as an event.
