Attendees began queuing early, with lines stretching along Avenida Madero and into the park, all eager for the "great party" accompanying the World Cup festivities.

For over an hour and a half, the band performed hits like "Enemy," "Bones," "Thunder," "Believe," "Demons," "Natural," and "Radioactive," engaging the massive crowd in a sing-along. The concert was a major highlight of the global football event's fan zone.

The governor, along with Metrorrey Director Abraham Vargas, traveled the route from Churubusco in Guadalupe to Constituciรณn in Monterrey. Garcรญa emphasized the project's scale, infrastructure, and its potential to significantly ease mobility for residents.

During the monorail test, the train made a stop near Parque Fundidora, drawing the attention of concertgoers and families. The governor highlighted this new transport system as a legacy project for Nuevo Leรณn, noting it will span 12 kilometers and become one of the longest and most important monorails globally. He also mentioned recent diplomatic engagements, including receiving Japan's Princess Hisako de Takamado.
