The Foreigner Mexico City concert is on Wednesday 3 March 2027 at the Auditorio Nacional. The American rock band, founded in New York in 1976, also plays Monterrey on 27 February and Guadalajara on 28 February.
For US readers, it is a chance to see a band marking 50 years on a short trip south of the border. Start times and prices have not been published in the reports we found.
Foreigner’s Five-Date Tour of Mexico
Foreigner is a rock band founded in New York in 1976 by guitarist Mick Jones, according to the entertainment site Animal MX. The band is marking its 50th anniversary with what Animal MX calls a full five-date tour of Mexico.
The Mexican newspaper Publimetro lists the dates as 27 February in Monterrey, 28 February in Guadalajara and 2 March in Puebla. It adds 3 March in Mexico City and 5 March in Querétaro.
Publimetro published its report on 20 October 2026, and Animal MX had published the same tour on 24 September. The dates, cities and venues match in both reports.
Animal MX names the current line-up as Luis Carlos Maldonado on vocals, Jeff Pilson on bass and Michael Bluestein on keyboards. Bruce Watson and John Roth play guitar and Chris Frazier plays drums.
The line-up that Animal MX lists for Mexico does not include Mick Jones, the founding guitarist. Fans who expect the original line-up should read the final billing on the ticket page before they buy.
Neither report gives a name for the tour or names a promoter. This guide therefore treats the Foreigner Mexico City concert as part of the band’s 2027 Mexican dates.
Foreigner Mexico City Date, Venue and Times in US Eastern
The Mexico City show is on Wednesday 3 March 2027 at the Auditorio Nacional, according to Publimetro and Animal MX. The hall’s own website gives its address as Avenida Paseo de la Reforma 50, in the Polanco district.
No start time or doors time was published for the Foreigner Mexico City show in the reports we found. Treat any hour on social media as unconfirmed until Ticketmaster México lists it.
Mexico abolished daylight saving time in 2022, so Mexico City stays on UTC-6 all year. In early March the United States is still on standard time, so New York is one hour ahead.
An 8 pm start in Mexico City would therefore be 9 pm in New York, though no hour has been announced. US daylight saving time starts on Sunday 14 March 2027, after all five shows.
The Auditorio Nacional website did not list a Foreigner event on the page we opened on 27 October. Check the Ticketmaster México page for the final date and time before you book flights.
A Wednesday show for the Foreigner Mexico City concert needs a midweek trip, so fly in on Tuesday. Flexible fares are safer until the doors time is published.
Foreigner Mexico City Tickets: Where and When to Buy
Animal MX lists Ticketmaster for the Monterrey, Guadalajara and Mexico City shows. Puebla and Querétaro tickets are sold through Arema.mx, the same report says.
The report gives a presale on 23 and 24 September and a general sale on 25 September. All start at 9 a.m., and it does not name a time zone.
Publimetro says the presale began in September and drew high demand. It does not give general sale dates, and it does not say whether any show is sold out.
No prices appear in either report, and neither mentions fees. Compare the final total at checkout, not the first price you see.
The Auditorio Nacional runs an on-site box office, open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 19:00. On Sundays and public holidays it opens from 11:00 to 18:00.
Buy Foreigner Mexico City tickets only from Ticketmaster México or the hall’s box office. A ticket from a social media seller or a street reseller cannot be checked in advance.
Getting to the Auditorio Nacional
The Auditorio Nacional stands on Paseo de la Reforma, the main avenue that crosses central Mexico City. Its website gives the address as Reforma 50 in the Polanco district, in the Miguel Hidalgo borough.
The website does not name a Metro station or a transport plan for concerts. Look up your route before the day, and leave extra time for traffic on Reforma.
The US State Department tells its own staff in Mexico not to hail taxis on the street. It says to use dispatched vehicles, including app-based services such as Uber, and regulated taxi stands.
Agree on a pick-up point before the show ends, because a large crowd leaves at once. Order the car a few minutes’ walk from the gate rather than at the exit itself.
Book your hotel before you buy a Foreigner Mexico City ticket, so you can plan the trip home after the show. For hotels, neighbourhoods and getting around, see <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/expat-cities/mexico-city/”>our Mexico City guide</a>.
Our <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/expat-cities/monterrey/”>Monterrey guide</a> covers the first date. Our <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/expat-cities/guadalajara/”>Guadalajara guide</a> covers the second.
Safety and Costs for US Visitors
The State Department urges increased caution in Mexico City and in Nuevo León, the state of Monterrey, because of crime. It urges Americans to reconsider travel to Jalisco, the state of Guadalajara, because of crime and kidnapping.
The advisory says violent crime such as homicide, kidnapping, carjacking and robbery is widespread and common in Mexico. For Mexico City it urges extra caution at night, outside the frequented tourist areas.
It also says its own staff may not travel between cities after dark. Fans who plan to see two shows should fly or travel by day.
At the Foreigner Mexico City show, keep your phone and wallet out of sight and never leave a drink unattended. Stay with people you know and agree on a meeting point in case you are separated.
We did not find confirmed hotel, food or transport prices for that week, so we quote none. Compare costs once the ticket prices and the doors time are known.
Check the State Department’s Mexico pages for passport and entry rules before you book. Rules for visitors can change, and this guide does not repeat them.
Other Foreigner Dates and Mexico’s Wider Concert Calendar
Monterrey hosts the band on Saturday 27 February at the Escenario GNP Seguros. Guadalajara follows on Sunday 28 February at the Auditorio Telmex, and Animal MX lists both on Ticketmaster México.
Puebla follows on Tuesday 2 March at the Auditorio Arema Explanada. Querétaro closes the run on Friday 5 March at the Auditorio Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez.
Mexico City hosts other big concerts in early 2027, well beyond the Foreigner Mexico City date. Our guide to <a href=”https://www.riotimesonline.com/u2-mexico-city-concerts-2027-guide-2026/”>U2’s Mexico City concerts</a> covers another major show in the same city.
A fan who wants more than one night can combine Foreigner with other shows in the same trip. Compare dates and venues before you book a hotel.
What Is Not Confirmed Yet
For the Foreigner Mexico City show, the reports we found give no ticket prices, seating zones or Ticketmaster fees. Nor do they say whether any date is sold out.
Doors, the start time, the set length and any support act are not listed. The Auditorio Nacional website did not show the event on 27 October, so trust the Ticketmaster México page.
The Foreigner Mexico City details in this guide come from two Mexican news reports, not from the band or the promoter. Any change on Ticketmaster México is the final word.
