Corona Capital books Gorillaz, Strokes

OCESA put Corona Capital’s 2026 lineup into the market on May 18, adding Gorillaz, Twenty One Pilots and The Strokes to the top of the bill for this year’s Mexico City edition. The festival is scheduled for November 20-22 at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, the longtime home of the event. Trade and music outlets including Billboard, Pollstar and Consequence all matched the same core details after the promoter’s announcement. The booking matters mostly because Corona Capital is one of OCESA’s flagship international-music festivals in Mexico. The official festival site says the event was first held in 2010 and describes it as a leading reference point for international music in the country. This year’s announcement places three established arena and festival acts at the top of a bill that outside reports said runs to more than 60 artists. (billboard.com) ### When exactly is the festival, and where is it being held? Corona Capital 2026 is set for November 20, 21 and 22 in Mexico City. Multiple reports and the festival’s own materials identify Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez as the venue. Billboard described the event as the festival’s 16th edition, while Pollstar called it OCESA’s flagship festival and said the promoter was leaning heavily into rock for this year’s booking. (coronacapital.com.mx) Mexico City has hosted the festival there for years, and the official site continues to center the event under the Corona Capital CDMX branding. The venue detail matters for returning attendees because it signals continuity rather than a format change or relocation. ### Which acts are at the top of the bill? Gorillaz, Twenty One Pilots and The Strokes are the three names consistently identified as headliners across the announcement coverage. (billboard.com) Billboard said OCESA announced those acts on Monday night, May 18. Consequence and TicketNews reported the same trio at the top of the lineup. (coronacapital.com.mx) Pollstar’s breakdown went further and assigned each act to a festival-closing slot, saying Gorillaz would close Friday night, Twenty One Pilots would lead Saturday and The Strokes would top Sunday. That same report listed other prominent names on the broader poster, including Mumford & Sons, Daniel Caesar, James Blake, The xx, The Offspring, Underworld, Lola Young and Lil Yachty. (billboard.com) ### Is this just three big names, or a deeper lineup? Pollstar said the event will feature more than five dozen acts across multiple stages. TicketNews similarly reported more than 60 artists on the bill. That places the 2026 edition in line with the large-format, multi-day structure that regular Corona Capital attendees would expect. (news.pollstar.com) Spanish-language coverage in Mexico also treated the lineup as a full festival reveal rather than an early teaser. La Razón and El Heraldo de México both reported that the complete lineup had been disclosed and repeated the November dates. ### What has the festival said about tickets? (news.pollstar.com) The official Corona Capital ticket page is already live and lists several pass categories, including General, Comfort Pass, Banamex Plus and Club Pass. The page shows a Phase 1 general-admission pass price of 4,090 Mexican pesos before service charges and says tickets are “coming soon.” El Heraldo de México reported that presale would begin on Tuesday, May 26. (razon.com.mx) The official site also directs users to its ticket and newsletter pages for updates, suggesting the promoter is still funneling buyers toward the next sales step rather than a fully open public onsale. (coronacapital.com.mx) ### What should fans watch next? May 26 is the next concrete date in the rollout, with Mexican media reporting a presale tied to the 2026 edition. The official Corona Capital site is the main place where OCESA is posting ticket categories, pricing tiers and festival updates. As of May 23, the festival remains scheduled for November 20-22 with Gorillaz, Twenty One Pilots and The Strokes at the top of the announced lineup. (heraldodemexico.com.mx)
