In November 2025, Scottish indie-rock band Franz Ferdinand—whose album Always Ascending (2018) heralded a return to 2000s danceable riffs after electronic experiments—headlined Corona Capital, Mexico's premier festival launched in 2013 at Mexico City's Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez as a platform for alternative music emphasizing indie and rock among 150,000 attendees. Their hour-long set, rich with energetic guitar textures and Alex Kapranos' charisma, embodied their North American tour climax, where post-punk fused with festival drive under Mexican sun to spark euphoria in the crowd. As part of their global breakthrough, this performance underscored Franz Ferdinand's role as British indie icons, turning the racetrack into a dancefloor.
