Los Fabulosos Cadillacs creates history, set new attendance record

Argentine rock band Los Fabulosos Cadillacs left behind legends like Sir Paul McCartney, Roger Waters, Shakira, Vicente Fernández and pop star Justin Bieber.

They recorded history when more than 3,00,000 people gathered in Mexico City’s Zocalo to watch them perform.

The rock band broke the attendance record set by Grupo Firme last year.


According to the local government data, 2,80,000 fans attended the performance of the Mexican music group last year.

Los Fabulosos Cadillacs took over the world’s second-largest public square after Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.


Mexico City mayor Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the feat achieved by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs as she tweeted, “We’ve made history again, breaking attendance records with 300,000 people in the Zócalo of Mexico City, enjoying an epic concert from Los Fabulosos Cadillacs.”

The rock band includes bassist Flavio Cianciarulo, Gabriel Fernández Capello and saxophonist Sergio Rotman.

People from all walks of life and different parts of the country reached Zocalo to gain access to the front row of the square that was soon to be filled up with rock, ska, reggae, and punk music.

The 90-minute performance was a part of the group’s El León del Ritmo tour. It is celebrating 30 years of El Leon, one of its most celebrated albums, as well as three decades since the release of their fabled single “Matador.”

Band leader Vicentico was moved and became emotional and said, “What happiness! How enormous and indescribable to be playing for all you! Thank you, eternal thanks. We receive this with our hearts,” reported the Billboard.
