The Arre Festival, which brings together major regional Mexican music stars, is returning this year to its original venue in Mexico City after being held in Monterrey in 2025.
Alejandro Fernández and Banda MS headline the lineup for the event organized by Ocesa, now formally called Arre Pepsi Black. The festival will take place Sept. 5 and 6 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, the same location where it was held during its first two editions.
This year, the lineup will feature artists from mariachi, banda, norteño, tumbados and tropical music, with notable performances also by Los Tucanes de Tijuana, Calle 24, Clave Especial, Eslabón Armado, Gabito Ballesteros, Grupo Cañaveral, Los Dos Carnales, Los Plebes del Rancho de Ariel Camacho and Víctor Mendivil. These stars, who represent different generations of regional Mexican music, will be joined by other artists to be announced at a later date.
The history of Festival Arre began in 2023, when it attracted more than 70,000 attendees — a feat that has been repeated in subsequent editions, according to organizers, showcasing the growing importance of the genre in recent years.
According to data from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), Mexico entered the top 10 global music markets for the first time in 2024. That milestone was driven by a 15.6% increase in recorded music revenue, as reported in the IFPI’s Global Music Report 2025.
Tickets for Arre Festival will go on sale starting May 13 through Ticketmaster.com.mx.
