MONSTA X sell out Mexico City show on first Latin America stop in 7 years

MONSTA X sold out Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City as part of their 2026 world tour, [THE X : NEXUS], marking the group's first Mexico concert in roughly seven years.

Their last time in the country was the 2019 WE ARE HERE tour. This run kicked off the South American leg, with the group heading to Monterrey on the 6th (local time).

DRAMARAMA opened the setlist. Love Killa and Rush Hour followed. I.M, Kihyun, Minhyuk, and Jooheon each took solo stages — Jooheon performed his self-composed track Tuscan Leather. Hyungwon stepped into his DJ H.ONE role for a surprise remixed version of HERO. The night's biggest moment came when Shownu and Hyungwon performed Do You Love Me, the title track from their unit release on the 21st of last month, for the first time on the tour.

Proceso, a Mexican news and economics weekly, covered the show and praised the group's synchronized choreography, audiovisual production, costume variety, audience interaction, vocals, and overall performance intensity.

Through Starship Entertainment, the group said: "The moment when everyone sang together and filled the venue is unforgettable." They added that all members intend to finish the remaining tour dates in good health.

(Seven years is a long wait for any fandom — MONBEBEs in Mexico clearly made it count.)
