Grupo Niche, with over four decades of musical history, began their approximately two-hour set at 9:50 p.m. They opened with "Niche Mode" from their latest album, followed by "Cómo podré disimular" and "Se pareció tanto a ti." The band expressed their connection with Guatemalan fans, acknowledging their long-standing support. They performed a medley of hits like "Una aventura" and "Entrega," and paid tribute to the legacy of co-founder Jairo Varela.

The concert also included "Más que palabras," "Nuestro sueño," "Ese día," and "Algo que se quede." The group surprised the audience with a cumbia, "La canoa rachá," calling it "pure Colombian cumbia." They dedicated a segment to songs that have resonated with multiple generations, emphasizing their special bond with Guatemala through hits such as "Sin sentimientos," "Cali Ají," and "Cali Pachanguero." Founded in 1979, Grupo Niche continues to evolve its sound while maintaining its collective identity.
