As summer approaches, the festival season is already kicking off with exciting news for fans of regional Mexican music. A vibrant tapestry of Mexican music will once again unfold at Festival Arre, which returns for its second edition. This unique festival, dedicated exclusively to celebrating the rich and diverse sounds of Mexican music, will see an impressive array of both acclaimed and emerging artists, firmly stamping Mexico’s musical footprint on the global stage.
Taking place September 7-8 at the iconic Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, ARRE is touted as the “largest Mexican music festival in the world.” And with artists such as Los Tigres Del Norte, Gerardo Ortiz, Xavi and Junior H it’s not hard to believe. But the lineup doesn’t end there, as ARRE has also confirmed an impressive roster of both established and emerging artists.

Known for their history and timeless hits, Los Tigres del Norte recently released a new EP “Aquí Mando Yo” and at Arre they promise to deliver a night of nostalgia and high-energy performance, reaffirming their status as enduring symbols of Mexican culture.
