Just hours before headlining the opening ceremony of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Mexico City, the iconic Mexican band Maná has announced their return to the Mexican stage. The group will perform a single concert at the Estadio GNP Seguros on December 17, marking their only scheduled performance in the country for 2026.

The upcoming show is part of their "Vivir Sin Aire Tour," a stadium tour celebrating four decades of their career. Before returning to Mexico, Maná is set to play in Bogotá on November 28, Lima on December 2, Santiago on December 5, and Buenos Aires on December 12. This continental tour culminates in their highly anticipated Mexico City performance.

This concert holds special significance for their national audience, offering the sole opportunity to see the band live in Mexico during 2026. The show promises to feature their greatest hits that have defined their career and left a lasting mark on Spanish-language rock music. With over 50 million albums sold and a legacy spanning generations, Maná's return comes at a pivotal moment, amplified by their global performance at the World Cup opening ceremony.

Formed in Guadalajara in 1986, Maná pioneered Latin rock, blending rock, pop, reggae, and Latin rhythms. Their album "Dónde Jugarán los Niños" is recognized as the best-selling Latin rock album in history. The band continues to maintain a strong digital presence, with over 1.3 billion annual streams on Spotify and more than 12.1 billion views on YouTube.

Pre-sale tickets for the concert through Banamex will be available on June 17, with general sales beginning on June 18.
