Corona Capital 2026 moves to Nov. 20–22 because of Formula 1 setup
Corona Capital 2026 will run Nov.
20–22 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City.
Organizers said the festival’s date change was driven by the time needed to switch the venue from Formula 1.
After the Grand Prix, crews must remove stands, structures and operating areas before building the festival’s five stages.
Organizers said the gap before the usual November holiday weekend was too short to manage both events.
The festival will feature more than 60 music projects, including Gorillaz, Twenty One Pilots, The Strokes and The Offspring, and organizers say seeking promising artists is part of its identity.
The venue is preparing for the festival, and Coca-Cola Flow Fest follows on Nov.
28–29.
Corona Capital 2026 will take place from Nov. 20 to 22 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City.
OCESA marketing director Armando Calvillo said the festival moved dates because there was not enough time to set up and dismantle the venue for both the Formula 1 race and the festival.
The venue needs several days after the Mexico City Grand Prix to remove stands, structures and operational areas before festival construction can begin.
The festival is scheduled for the weekend after the usual November holiday weekend.
The Coca-Cola Flow Fest is scheduled at the venue for Nov. 28 and 29.
