Tickets on sale Friday, February 9 at 10 with a Live Nation Presale on Thursday February 8 at 10 am. (Code: ENERGY) Get tickets here. The band stormed onto the Mexican pop scene in the 2000s, captivating audiences with Denisse Guerrero’s smooth vocals, and the synth-pop melodies created by Edgar Huerta on keyboards, and Ricardo “Richie” Arreola on bass and guitar. Their unique blend of electropop, sprinkled with anime and nightclub influences, led to chart-topping hits like “Rosa Pastel” and “Por Ti”.  With multiple Latin Grammy nominations and a dedicated fanbase, Belanova became one of Mexico’s most successful pop acts, leaving a lasting electro-pop imprint on the Latin music landscape. Belanova’s influence extended far beyond music. They were trendsetters, pushing boundaries in fashion and challenging societal norms. They challenged traditional gender norms in both their music and fashion. Denisse often rocked pantsuits, crop tops, and androgynous haircuts, while Richie frequently sported eyeliner and flamboyant accessories. This fluidity and confidence in their self-expression resonated with fans who embraced a more inclusive and diverse approach to fashion. Belanova’s international success, particularly in the US and Europe, helped to break down barriers and bring Latin pop music to a wider audience. Their music and image continue to inspire and resonate with fans, solidifying their place as pop culture icons in Mexico and beyond. They became ambassadors for Mexican music and culture, inspiring a new generation of artists and fans.
