Corona Capital has managed to establish itself as one of the largest and most-attended music events in Latin America,[3] and is considered Mexico's equivalent to American festivals such as Coachella and Lollapalooza,[4] with headliners including Alanis Morissette, Arctic Monkeys, Foo Fighters, Garbage, Green Day, Iggy Pop, Lana Del Rey, Miley Cyrus, Portishead, Chappell Roan, Pixies, and The Strokes, among many more.[5] From 2018 to 2023, the festival was expanded with Corona Capital Guadalajara as a separate springtime festival featuring a completely different lineup and was held in Guadalajara, the capital city of the state of Jalisco.[6]
Even with its popularity and success, the festival has also been the subject of much criticism and controversy as its organizers have decided to no longer book Latino or Spanish-speaking artists, despite doing so for the first several years of the event;[7] reportedly, this decision was made as a "solely commercial movement".[8] Organizers have cited other Mexico City festivals, such as Vive Latino and Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), as events where audiences can support local or Latin performers, resulting in Corona Capital being the only music festival in the world to exclusively host foreign talent.[9]
