British artist Rod Stewart will return this year to the stage where he made music history in Mexico: the Corregidora Stadium in Querétaro.
The singer of songs like “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?”, “I Don’t Want to Talk About It,” and “Sailing” performed twice 36 years ago at this same venue, where he inaugurated a new wave of mass concerts, like the one we know today in Mexico.
The announcement of the performance scheduled for this coming October 9th revives that era in 1989 dubbed “Mexican Berlin” due to the repression rock music had faced in the country.
Media and testimonies recall that at that time, Mexican youth lived under siege by government censorship, which considered music a threat and restricted mass concerts of this genre.
However, Rod Stewart’s arrival in 1989—the same year the Berlin Wall fell—represented an opening to freedom, the future, and the possibility of dreaming bigger.
Rod Stewart won’t be arriving alone; in October of this year, he’ll be joined by special guests such as Paul Young, “UB40,” and “Earth Wind and Fire” “The Experience” feat. Al McKay.
Ticket prices are already on sale and range from 700 to 5,900 Mexican pesos; in the south seating area, they are 1,400 pesos, and in the gold court section, they will reach 3,600 pesos.
