The Warning to Head Halftime Show at 49ers-Vikings NFL Game in Mexico

The Warning will bring Mexican hard rock to the NFL’s return to Mexico City. The sisters Daniela, Paulina, and Alejandra Villarreal will headline the musical show at the San Francisco 49ers’ regular-season game against the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 22 at Estadio Azteca.

The Monterrey group said it was excited to take part in the event in Mexico and described performing during an international Sunday night game as an “incredible privilege.” The band also said it loves the NFL.

“

We are more than excited to be part of this NFL event in our country, in such an iconic stadium.

The Warning’s selection gives the show a distinctly Mexican connection. The group’s song “Kerosene” reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart. It has accumulated more than 785 million streams and received a 2024 Latin Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song.

“

We love the NFL. Performing at halftime during an international Sunday night game is truly an incredible privilege.

Tim Tubito, the NFL’s senior director of global game presentation, music, and entertainment, said the band brings the energy, authenticity, and local connection the league seeks for its international performances.

The NFL plans seven regular-season games outside the United States this year. The Jonas Brothers are scheduled for the 49ers-Rams game in Melbourne, while Ricky Martin and Pedro Sampaio will perform at the Ravens-Cowboys game in Rio de Janeiro. Ayra Starr will headline the Eagles-Jaguars show in London.

Mexico City feels a deep passion for both American football and music, and The Warning brings the energy, authenticity, and local connection we seek when creating these presentations.
