Foo Fighters Delivered an Unforgettable Set at Corona Capital Festival in Mexico City
The highly anticipated 2025 Corona Capital festival kicked off with a bang as Foo Fighters returned to Mexico City after a three-year absence. The American rock band delivered an explosive and unforgettable 120-minute set that was marked by classics such as "All My Life," "The Pretender," and "Everlong." Fans, including longtime enthusiasts, were treated to a barrage of hits from the Foo Fighters' 30-year career, leaving no doubt that this reunion would be one for the books.
Dave Grohl took to the stage, acknowledging the significance of Mexico City in the band's journey, citing that the city had played a crucial role in their success and even inspired their "Sonic Highways" TV series. He expressed gratitude to the fans, saying, "So I want you guys to thank yourselves, Mexico City, for helping the Foo Fighters continue making music, continue doing the thing we love to do."
Foo Fighters' setlist also included a cover of Motörhead's "Ace of Spades," showcasing Grohl's passion for heavy metal. The band's energy was palpable as they commanded the crowd with their signature blend of rock and punk.
The 4 Non Blondes made an impressive comeback at Corona Capital, performing a nostalgic set that drew in thousands of new and old fans alike. The highlight of their performance was undoubtedly their '90s anthem "What's Up?" which had gained traction on TikTok through the viral trend of Nicki Minaj's mash-up with the same song.
Fronted by singer-songwriter Linda Perry, 4 Non Blondes delivered a thrilling performance that got everyone singing and dancing along. The band's setlist featured songs like "Rock and Roll," "Push and Shove," and "Train," but without a doubt, their '90s anthem "What's Up?" made it a truly memorable performance.
Other notable performances at the festival included Queens of the Stone Age, who delivered an uncompromising rock 'n' roll setlist that left thousands dancing and singing along. Garbage fronted by Shirley Manson also made good on their promise to their Mexican fans after canceling their show last year, delivering a powerful message of female empowerment and critique to power structures.
Franz Ferdinand returned to the festival with a massive turnout around the main stage, where they performed an explosive set that reaffirmed the love and loyalty Mexicans have for the band led by Alex Kapranos. The classic "Take Me Out" song was met with euphoria among attendees, who responded by throwing their cups into the air, creating a shower of beer.
The Corona Capital festival continued on Saturday, November 15, with performances by U.S. star Chappell Roan, Vampire Weekend, Damiano David, Aurora, Mogwai, Alabama Shakes, Jehnny Beth, and more.

at the Corona Capital festival! dave grohl is still got that energy 
, but also seems super humble about it 
. i love how they highlighted mexico city's role in their journey 
, shows they're not just a band, but a community 
.
and got everyone singing along 
to "what's up?" 
. it's awesome that the 90s anthem got so much love on tiktok 
. garbage's set was powerful too 
, shirley manson is a total icon 
.
, it's amazing for the community and the music scene 
. can't wait to see what other bands come through 
, but honestly, you could've never asked for anything more from the guys. And that "Ace of Spades" cover? Mind blown! Dave Grohl's passion for metal is seriously inspiring. But what really got me was how all the bands seemed to feed off each other's energy - it was like this huge rock 'n' roll party 
.
. And can we talk about the Motörhead cover? 
Dave Grohl is a total rock god when it comes to metal covers.
. And let's not forget the 4 Non Blondes' comeback performance, it was totally nostalgic and got everyone singing along 
.
.
... Like, have you seen the lineup for Corona Capital? It's all these big-name acts, but what about the smaller, up-and-coming bands? You'd think that would get some love too, right? But nope, it's all the established artists getting the time slot. And what about the sponsorship deals, man? They're shilling out for all the major brands... it's like they're trying to control the narrative or something 
.
.
, you know? He still gets to rock out with Foo Fighters but always takes a sec to appreciate where they are 
Their set was seriously unforgettable 
. Can't blame them for playing some classic hits, but that Motörhead cover was a nice surprise 
, can't wait for the next one 
... what an unforgettable night! Dave Grohl's passion for music is truly infectious, especially when he pays homage to the city that helped shape the band's journey 
. I loved how they covered Motörhead's "Ace of Spades" – it added a whole new level of energy to their performance 
. Overall, Corona Capital festival delivered on its promise of an epic music experience 
i'm so glad they were able to do mexico city justice after canceling last year 
. I mean, think about it, Foo Fighters have been around for 30 years and still manage to pack a stadium with their setlist, but that's only possible because they've been smart about adapting to the changing landscape of social media and online trends 
. The fact that fans were throwing cups into the air during their performance speaks to a desire for communal experience and release, but also raises questions about safety protocols and crowd control.
.
Dave Grohl's energy is infectious and it's awesome he thanked Mexico City for being part of their journey 
4 Non Blondes were fire too 
. But what really stood out to me was how every band, from Foo Fighters to 4 Non Blondes, Queen of the Stone Age to Franz Ferdinand, all had this incredible energy and connection with their fans 
. It was like the whole festival was one big celebration of music and community!
And that Motörhead cover? Iconic! 
. And can we talk about Franz Ferdinand's performance? Alex Kapranos and crew always bring the fire
