Grupo Frontera, Guns N’ Roses & Turnstile Among Best of Day 2 of Tecate Pa’l Norte 2026

Guns N’ Roses chose the Tecate Pa’l Norte festival as the first stop of their new world tour, performing their new singles “Nothin’” and “Atlas” live for the first time — two hidden gems from their 2008 album Chinese Democracy. “It’s good to see you,” lead singer Axl Rose greeted the attendees.

The band opened with the 1987 classic “Welcome to the Jungle,” followed by a handful of songs that have captivated generations, such as “Mr. Brownstone,” “Bad Obsession,” “Live and Let Die” by Paul McCartney & Wings, “Slither” by Velvet Revolver, “It’s So Easy,” “Yesterdays” and “Double Talkin’ Jive.” Read the review, with the full setlist from the show, here.

After recently winning two Grammy Awards, the Baltimore hardcore band made their debut at the Mexican festival with one of the most energetic performances of day two. The group, led by vocalist Brendan Yates, opened their set with “Never Enough,” which sparked a mosh pit at the festival’s second stage, keeping the energy high from start to finish. Circles of people dancing and singing at the top of their lungs could be seen throughout the show. “T.L.C.,” “I Care,” “Don’t Play,” “Real Thing,” “Seein’ Stars” and “Holiday” were also part of the setlist.

The Mexican-American band Grupo Frontera made the start of their 2026 international tour Triste Pero Bien C*brón one of the most anticipated comebacks at the festival, where they performed songs from their 2025 album, Lo Que Me Falta Por Llorar, as well as other hits that have catapulted them as one of the biggest acts in regional Mexican music today.

“They told us that some friends played here yesterday,” said vocalist Adelaido “Payo” Solís III to the audience, referring to the Colombian group Morat, whose hit “No Se Va” was covered by Frontera in a norteño version that reached No. 3 on the Hot Latin Songs Billboard chart in 2022.

The setlist also included songs like “La del Proceso,” “¿Por Qué Será?” and “De Lunes a Lunes.”

The legendary Argentine band brought the rhythm to the festival with songs like “Manuel Santillán, El León,” “Calaveras y Diablitos,” “Los Condenaditos” and “Padre Nuestro.” For bassist Flavio Cianciarulo, performing in Monterrey is very meaningful, as his wife, with whom he shares son Astor, is originally from this city. “Playing here has very big emotional connotations,” he told Billboard Español prior to their show on Saturday. Their repertoire also featured songs like “Mal Bicho,” “El Satánico Doctor Cadillac” and “Matador.”

The Villarreal sisters (Daniela, Paulina, and Alejandra) performed in their hometown as one of the most anticipated acts at the festival, delivering a powerful show that reaffirms their rise as one of the most successful Mexican rock bands in recent years. The performance featured an explosive setlist matching their aesthetic, with songs like “More,” “S!ck,” “Escapism,” “Disciple,” “Hell You Call a Dream” and “EVOLVE.” Additionally, they surprised the audience with a special appearance by Paty Cantú, who showcased her rock side on stage by performing “¿Qué Más Quieres?” with them.
