Atarashii Gakko Mexico City: The Show
The Velódromo Olímpico hosts the December 8 finale — a step up from the Pepsi Center, where the group made its solo Mexico debut in 2024.
OCESA bills it as the largest headline concert of the group’s career so far.
Tokyo’s Most Chaotic Export
Mizyu, Rin, Suzuka and Kanon fuse J-pop, rap and punk energy into shows that critics have called the most exciting in Japan’s live circuit.
Their 2026 album ‘From Tokyo with Love’ and the festival-flavored single ‘Chanka Chanka’ power the current set.
A Three-Country First Run
The Latin American debut opens at Santiago’s Teatro Caupolicán on December 3, continues at São Paulo’s Primavera Sound on December 5–6, and closes in Mexico City.
Mexico gets the biggest room — a nod to the fanbase built since their 2024 debut show.
Practical Tips for Expats
Tickets via Ticketmaster México; the Velódromo sits inside the Palacio de los Deportes complex on Metro Line 9 (Velódromo station).
Tuesday night show — arrive by 8 p.m. to clear security before the 9 p.m. start.
