Del Castillo at Orchestra Hall (Detroit)

Austin Latin-rock band Del Castillo is booked at Detroit’s Orchestra Hall this weekend, but the Detroit Symphony Orchestra calendar lists a different act in that slot: “The Music of Journey.” (dso.org) WRIF’s April 22 weekend guide says Del Castillo will play Orchestra Hall on Friday, April 24, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, April 25, 2026, at 3 p.m., and points readers to ticket information there. The Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s own event listings for April 24-26 show “The Music of Journey” at Orchestra Hall instead. (wrif.com, dso.org) That mismatch matters because Orchestra Hall is the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s main venue, and its published calendar is usually the primary source for what is on stage on a given date. Anyone planning a trip for Friday or Saturday would be wise to confirm directly with the hall or official ticketing before buying or traveling. (dso.org) Del Castillo is a real touring act with a long history. The Austin band says it blends rock, Latin, blues and world music, and AllMusic says the group began in 2000 as a family recording project built around brothers Mark del Castillo and Rick del Castillo. (delcastillomusic.com, allmusic.com) The band’s profile extends beyond club dates. Del Castillo says its music was used in Robert Rodriguez films including “Once Upon a Time in Mexico,” “Sin City,” “Grindhouse,” “Machete,” and “Alita: Battle Angel,” and that Rodriguez later formed CHINGÓN with the group. (delcastillomusic.com) Del Castillo’s official site still presents the band as active, and concert listings elsewhere show 2026 dates in Texas. That supports the idea that the group is performing this year, even if the Detroit listing in WRIF’s roundup appears to conflict with the venue’s schedule. (delcastillomusic.com, bandsintown.com) So the clearest takeaway for Detroit concertgoers is not just who Del Castillo is, but that the local event information is inconsistent. Before heading to Orchestra Hall on April 24 or April 25, check the venue’s official calendar and ticket page first. (dso.org, wrif.com)
