Los Fabuloso Cadillacs enamored their Mexican audience with an unforgettable concert at Mexico City’s Zócalo Square. According to official reports, the number of attendees who gathered to enjoy the show of the performers of Vasos Vacíos and Matador was 300 thousand people, making it the most successful concert in the history of the Plaza de la Constitución.
Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico City’s Chief of Government, reported: “We made history again. We broke attendance records with 300 thousand people at the Zócalo of Mexico City, enjoying the epic concert of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs with a white balance. Thanks to all the audience for being up to the task.”
Hours before the concert began, Sheinbaum reported that the Plaza de la Constitución was completely full: “The Zócalo is at 100% capacity. We recommend those attending the Los Fabulosos Cadillacs concert enjoy the concert on the screens we have installed in surrounding streets and through Capital 21″.
Performing hits such as “Los condenaditos,” “El aguijón,” “Estoy harto de verte con otros,” “El genio del Dub,” “Carmela,” “El muerto,” “Mal bicho,” “Vasos vacíos” and “Demasiada presión,” Los Fabulosos Cadillacs dethroned Grupo Firme.
Grupo Firme, with a first-class stage, pyrotechnics, and impressive lighting equipment, brought together more than 280 thousand people.
