SAN JOSE, Calif.\u00a0\u2014\u00a0BelicoFest\u00a0is making history in the Bay Area by landing at PayPal Park on Saturday, Aug. 29, 2026, marking the premier sporting stadium\u2019s first-ever live music event. The lineup is anchored by Tito Double P, Santa Fe Klan, Gerardo Ortiz, Regulo Caro, Herencia de\u00a0Patrones,\u00a0Estevie\u00a0and Low\u00a0Clika. Together, the roster reflects the artists shaping the current and future sound of\u00a0m\u00fasica\u00a0mexicana, alongside crossover voices pushing the genre into\u00a0new territory.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Home of the San Jose Earthquakes since 2015, PayPal Park has hosted world-class soccer, community programming, and large-scale sporting events, but never a concert.\u00a0BelicoFest\u2019s\u00a0arrival changes that, planting a flag for\u00a0m\u00fasica\u00a0mexicana in a market where the genre has long outpaced its live infrastructure.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m grateful to be part of the first concert ever at PayPal Park as part of\u00a0BelicoFest,\u201d said Tito Double P.\u00a0\u201cAs a genre,\u00a0m\u00fasica\u00a0mexicana is continuing to grow and reach\u00a0new places. This show will have something for everyone, including songs from my new album ACOMODO as well as past hits.\u00a0\u00a0Bringing a festival like this to San Jose, in front of a community that has supported our music for so long, means a lot to me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now in its third year,\u00a0BelicoFest, in partnership with Spotify, continues to build infrastructure around musica\u00a0mexicana\u2019s\u00a0rise in the U.S. The festival drew more than 30,000 fans in Phoenix in 2025 with Peso Pluma headlining, and its 2026 expansion into Los Angeles and San Jose signals a broader ambition: not just to grow, but to scale the genre\u2019s live footprint into the country\u2019s most culturally significant Latin markets.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing part of the first BELICOFEST in San Jos\u00e9 is a huge honor. How cool to be able to bring this festival to a new city and be part of something so big for our people and for Mexican music,\u201d said Santa Fe Klan.\u00a0\u201cWe’re going to show up with all the attitude, with our hearts on our sleeves and a high-energy show. The fans can expect pure energy, emotion at 100%, and that barrio vibe that always rolls with us.\u00a0Hopefully\u00a0everyone leaves with good memories, proud of our roots, and ready to keep celebrating\u00a0what’s\u00a0ours.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
BelicoFest\u00a0is produced by For\u00a0The\u00a0Culture and backed by 515 Entertainment, the Mexico City-based promoter driving the brand’s expansion across both sides of the border. That structure plugs directly into one of the largest live production infrastructures in the Southwest, built over two decades by co-founder Ramiro Bojorquez through a portfolio of vertically integrated event and production companies. The result is a festival that\u00a0operates\u00a0with the muscle of a major touring platform while keeping the cultural specificity of a community-built event.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
That backing is no accident. For The Culture was founded by two operators with deep r\u00e9sum\u00e9s in large-scale live entertainment. Bojorquez has produced more than 2,500 events over 20 years, scaling experiences from intimate 1,000-capacity rooms to full productions exceeding 60,000 people per day, and has worked with\u00a0talent including Peso Pluma, Junior H, Luis R\u00a0Corniquez, Ice Cube, and Many world-known DJs. Co-founder Andres Charvel brings\u00a0a track record\u00a0of executing some of the most ambitious live events in Mexico, including two sold-out stadium shows for Kanye West, 10-date runs for Shakira, and multiple consecutive years of\u00a0Circoloco\u00a0in Mexico City.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSan Jose and the Bay Area have helped shape the growth of\u00a0m\u00fasica\u00a0Mexicana for years; bringing\u00a0Belicofest\u00a0here is about honoring that and giving Northern California a festival experience built at the highest level,\u201d said\u00a0Ramiro Bojorquez & Andr\u00e9s Charvel, founders of For\u00a0The\u00a0Culture.\u00a0\u201cThis marks the first time PayPal Park is hosting an event like this, and we know there is no better place for it out there.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
BelicoFest\u00a0is built around a simple premise: to reflect the audience it serves. That means programming that mirrors how\u00a0m\u00fasica\u00a0mexicana is lived, not just performed, and creating space for established headliners and next-generation voices to share the same stage.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
