Best Moments From Feid’s Spectacular Homecoming Concert at Medellín’s Estadio Atanasio Girardot

You could understand if Feid were to get nervous or emotional at his first-ever headlining concert at his hometown stadium in Medellín on Friday (Dec. 6). Only a select few local artists have headlined Estadio Atanasio Girardot on their own. 

And in the case of Ferxxo, who spent years waiting for his big break while Medellín peers J Balvin, Karol G and Maluma became Latin household names, it was a moment that seemed like it may never come.

But there would be no tearful reflecting or nervous slip-ups in front of the crowd of around 70,000 on this night. Ferxxo (real name: Salomón Villada Hoyos) was his usual fun-loving self from the moment he emerged from the towering scaffold-like structure in the center of the stadium, just like producer Sky Rompiendo predicted backstage before the show.

“I bet he’s not nervous,” Sky (real name: Alejandro Ramírez Suárez) told Billboard. “He’s like an athlete. It’s like LeBron on the Lakers. He’s focused no matter the stage. I’m more emotional [than he is]. We were 14 when we first started doing music together. I’ve seen his struggle and development through the years. This is a really big moment for him.”

Sky was one of several artists who came out to support Feid at the first of his three sold-out concerts at the stadium. Feid’s all-but-confirmed girlfriend Karol G was backstage before the show shaking hands and wearing a pink version of Feid’s trademark black vest while fellow reggaeton star Becky G played air hockey in the game room.

None of the three artists appeared on stage (at least not that night), but the FERXXOCALIPSIS tour homecoming show wasn’t exactly lacking in star power. Here are some of the highlights from the spectacle that was night one.
