The Mexico City Show: What to Expect

This is a long set. The EVERYONE’S A STAR! shows have been running around 27 songs across roughly two hours, which is one of the biggest setlists the band has ever toured, and it is built to cover the full twelve years rather than lean on the new record. The night opens with “NOT OK” and has done so at every show on the tour so far, then moves through “No. 1 Obsession,” “Teeth,” “Easier,” and “No Shame” before the deeper cuts arrive in the middle.

The stretch that Mexican fans have been waiting on is the back half, where the band reaches back to the 2014 and 2015 material: “Amnesia,” “English Love Affair,” “Voodoo Doll,” “Waste the Night,” “Jet Black Heart,” and “She Looks So Perfect.” The encore pairs the album’s title track “Everyone’s a Star!” with “Youngblood,” which has closed 68 of the tour’s first 69 shows. Mexican singer Bruses is billed as the special guest, the same artist who opened for them at this venue in 2022. The band typically takes the stage about 90 minutes after doors, so the support set comes first.

About the EVERYONE’S A STAR! World Tour

EVERYONE’S A STAR! is the band’s sixth headlining world tour and their largest to date, running 98 shows across four legs. It opened on March 26, 2026 at the SSE Arena in Belfast and closes on December 6, 2026 in Jakarta. Mexico City is the first of three Mexican dates, followed by Auditorio Telmex in Guadalajara on September 11 and Auditorio Banamex in Monterrey on September 12, both at 9:00 PM.

The tour supports Everyone’s a Star!, released on November 14, 2025 and the band’s first album under Republic Records. It was led by the singles “Not OK,” “Boyband,” and “Telephone Busy,” and drew some of the warmest reviews of their career for pulling the pop-punk energy of the early records back together with the quieter writing the four members had been doing on their solo projects. Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin have been a band since 2011, which makes this the rare arena tour where the nostalgia and the new material come from the same lineup.

Mexico City has a real history with this band. They last played Palacio de los Deportes on May 18, 2022 on the Take My Hand World Tour, to a room that Mexican outlets described as one of the loudest stops of that run. Coming back to the same arena four years later, with a longer set and a new album behind them, is the reason this date sold the way it did.

Concert Venue and Date

The concert takes place at Palacio de los Deportes in the Iztacalco borough on the eastern side of Mexico City, the arena known for its copper geodesic dome and one of the capital’s main stops for major international tours.

Concert Date

• Wednesday, September 9, 2026, Mexico City, Palacio de los Deportes

Start Time

• Show start: 8:00 PM local time
• Bruses opens, with the main set starting roughly 90 minutes after doors
• Check your ticket for the exact door time

Palacio de los Deportes holds roughly 20,000 people for concerts, though the exact figure shifts with each stage design. The venue sits next to the Ciudad Deportiva sports complex and is one of the easier large arenas in the city to reach by Metro, which matters on a night when 20,000 people arrive at once.

Ticket Pricing and Availability

Tickets are available through Ticketmaster, where you can compare seats and prices across the arena in one place, and they are also sold at the Palacio de los Deportes box office. Face value runs from $1,091.25 MXN, roughly $65 USD, for the upper Nivel E seats up to $4,126.70 MXN, around $244 USD, for the sections closest to the stage, with three tiers in between. Service fees are added at checkout.

Where to Stay Near the Venue

Book your accommodation well in advance if you are traveling to Mexico City for the concert. Palacio de los Deportes sits on the eastern side of the city, away from the main visitor neighborhoods, so most travelers base themselves in Roma Norte, Condesa, or Polanco for the dining and nightlife and take the Metro or a rideshare out to the venue. Staying closer to Iztacalco or along Metro Line 9 cuts your travel time considerably on show night. Note that September is one of the tightest months of the year for rooms in the capital, with Independence Day on the 15th and 16th falling the following week.

Planning Your Visit to the Concert

Getting There

Palacio de los Deportes is served directly by the Mexico City Metro (Line 9, Velódromo station), with Ciudad Deportiva on the same line as an alternative, and by Metrobús Line 2 at Goma station. Taxi and rideshare both work, but prices surge hard around 8:00 PM and again at the end of the night. Plan to arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before the show to account for security lines, the walk from the Metro, and finding your seat.

What to Bring

Most venues have restrictions on bags and items you can bring inside. Check Palacio de los Deportes’ policies on the official venue website before attending. Early September falls in the wettest stretch of Mexico City’s rainy season, and afternoon and evening downpours are common, so bring a light rain layer for the trip to and from the arena. Evenings turn cool once the sun goes down, and floor tickets mean standing for the full two hours.

Concert Experience

A 5SOS show in Mexico City is a singalong from the first song to the last, and this crowd is known for carrying choruses on its own while the band steps back. Expect a room that skews toward fans who have been with the band since 2014, banners and signs throughout the arena, and a noticeable jump in volume when the older material arrives in the second half. Get to your seat before the main set, since the show opens straight into “NOT OK” rather than easing in.
