The third day of the Corona Capital 2025 festival on Sunday (Nov. 16) delivered an epic finale to Linkin Park’s From Zero World Tour 2025, with the alternative rock band paying tribute to Mexico by rocking lucha libre masks. It also marked the long-awaited and powerful return of Deftones to the Mexico City stage after nearly a decade, along with an emotional set from indie rock greats TV on the Radio.
On the Doritos stage, British band James, who performed at the first edition of the popular Mexican festival 15 years ago, brought joy and good vibes with frontman Tim Booth’s dancing and swaying. Meanwhile, Weezer delivered California vibes with their rock and power pop tunes that have inspired a new generation of artists like Olivia Rodrigo.
Jerry Cantrell, the legendary guitarist of Alice in Chains, made his Corona Capital debut with his solo project, thrilling the crowd with heavy riffs and performances of classic hits from his iconic ’90s band, like “Would?” and “Rooster.” AFI brought a punk and emo rock edge to the marathon lineup, while Canadian band TR/ST closed out the Viva Tent stage with their dark and atmospheric synthpop sound.
The third day of the rock-filled festival also featured bands like Of Monsters And Men, Peach Pit, Cut Copy, Syml, Kadavar, Alexandra Savior, and Rose Gray.
In total, the Corona Capital 2025 brought together around 235,000 people over its three days, with 78,000 attending on Friday, 75,000 on Saturday, and 82,000 on Sunday, according to promoter Ocesa.
