Returning to Mexico City for the first time in over a decade, The Black Keys delivered a potent headlining set at the 2023 edition of Corona Capital. Staged at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, the performance captured the raw, blues-infused garage rock that Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have perfected over their career. The duo, expanded on stage by additional musicians, launched into a setlist packed with fan favorites and powerful riffs that resonated across the massive festival grounds.
The energy was immediate as they kicked off with heavy hitters like "Gold on the Ceiling" and "Tighten Up," instantly igniting the crowd. The set spanned their celebrated discography, touching upon the melancholic blues and intense rock that defines their sound. Tracks such as "Fever" and the newer "Wild Child" showcased the band's enduring creative force, proving their sound is as vital as ever. This performance was a highlight of the festival, which also featured major international acts like Blur, Arcade Fire, and The Cure, reaffirming The Black Keys' status as a formidable live act on the global stage.
