Mon Laferte opens a three-night sold-out run at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City on Friday, with the Chilean-Mexican singer’s Femme Fatale Tour stopping in the capital for what has become the most-watched Latin music residency of 2026. The Mon Laferte CDMX shows mark the artist’s most ambitious Mexican production to date, with a four-act conceptual staging and the Sony Music album Femme Fatale driving the cycle.
The Mon Laferte CDMX residency at the Palacio
The shows take place at the Palacio de los Deportes, the 22,300-capacity arena in the Iztacalco borough, on May 29, 30 and 31. The first two dates sold out within hours of the December 12 general sale through Ticketmaster, and a third was added in early May as ticket-buyer demand continued past arena capacity.
The combined three-night attendance will be around 60,000 people, placing the residency among the top live-music gross calculations for Latin music in Mexico City this year. The setlist combines tracks from Femme Fatale with career-defining numbers such as “Tu falta de querer” and “La tirana”.
Ocesa, the Mexican concert promoter, produces the run. The four-act conceptual staging includes orchestral arrangements, theatrical lighting, and visual references to classic film noir and cabaret. The CDMX residency caps the Mexican leg of the Femme Fatale Tour, which began in March and has played Mérida, Puebla, Querétaro, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and La Paz.
The Femme Fatale album and the Mon Laferte CDMX setlist
The 14-track Femme Fatale dropped on Sony Music on October 24, 2025, the most sonically ambitious record of Mon Laferte’s catalogue and a sharp turn into jazz, alternative pop and a noir aesthetic. The album was named the artist’s best work to date by several Latin music critics, including from the Latin Grammy committee that has nominated her in five categories across her career.
The follow-up, Femme Fatale Vol. 2, is scheduled for global release on June 12, two weeks after the CDMX shows. The new tracks may receive early live debuts during the three-night run, though the artist has not confirmed which titles will be aired ahead of the streaming release.
The aesthetic references the artist has cited for the project include Édith Piaf, Billie Holiday, Marilyn Monroe and Nina Simone. The femme-fatale figure she has discussed in promotional interviews is reframed as a symbol of self-determination rather than the genre cliché.
From Rojo to the Mon Laferte CDMX residency
Born Monserrat Bustamante in Viña del Mar, Mon Laferte rose to attention on the Chilean talent show Rojo in the early 2000s before relocating to Mexico in 2007. The Mexico chapter of her career has lasted longer than the Chilean one, and her work has been claimed by both national music industries.
She has won five Latin Grammys and holds the record for the most-nominated Chilean artist in the academy’s history. Her Mexican catalogue includes 1940 Carmen, La Trenza, Norma, Seis, and Autopoiética, the 2023 predecessor album that anchored her last touring cycle.
The Viña del Mar Festival in February 2026 confirmed her career arc. She took the silver, golden, and Platinum Gaviotas in a single night, becoming the youngest artist ever to hold the Platinum award and only the sixth to receive it.
The wider Femme Fatale Tour and the Mon Laferte CDMX cycle
The tour spans nine countries across the Americas. After the Mexico City shows, Mon Laferte plays Canada and the United States in July and August, with Place Bell in Laval, Massey Hall in Toronto, the Boch Center in Boston, and the Warner Theatre in Washington among the major venues.
South American dates follow in the autumn, with São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Bogotá, and Lima all on the schedule. The Argentine and Brazilian stops will be the artist’s largest South American dates in two years.
Ticket pricing for the CDMX shows ranged from 890 pesos (about $51) in the upper E-level seating to 4,496 pesos ($259) for the closest A-level seats, at the Banco Central de México FIX rate of about 17.35 pesos per dollar. The pricing is in line with the high end of Mexican arena bookings for Latin music acts in 2026.
What the Mon Laferte CDMX run means for Latin music
The Mexican market remains the largest arena territory for Latin music, and three sold-out nights at the Palacio de los Deportes is among the strongest individual results any non-reggaeton act has achieved in 2026. The artist now sits in the same commercial tier as Karol G, Christian Nodal, and Bad Bunny in terms of Mexican arena draw, with a sharper genre-bending aesthetic than any of them.
For Sony Music, the residency is also a strategic moment. The label has positioned the Femme Fatale cycle as a candidate for the year-end critics’ lists, and the Mexico City staging is the moment at which the album’s live identity becomes definitive.
The CDMX shows also coincide with the city’s pre-World Cup window, with the tournament opening at Estadio Azteca on June 11. The cultural calendar around the residency is unusually dense even for Mexico City, with a major Latin music release, a federal-state political negotiation, and a global sporting event all sharing the same week.
When are the Mon Laferte Mexico City shows?
Friday May 29, Saturday May 30, and Sunday May 31 at the Palacio de los Deportes in Iztacalco. Doors open at 19:00 and shows begin at 20:00. All three nights are sold out.
What album is being toured?
Femme Fatale, the 14-track Sony Music album released on October 24, 2025. A follow-up, Femme Fatale Vol. 2, is scheduled for June 12, 2026.
Where else will the tour play in 2026?
The tour continues to Canada and the United States in July and August, with South American dates including São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Bogotá and Lima scheduled for the autumn.
