León’s La Cura Fest takes place March 14 and 15 at Expogan Hermosillo, which is in his Mexican hometown. He added a second date due to overwhelming demand, and the event is expected to draw as many as 35,000 each day.

“This festival is a way to open up my heart and share what I’ve kept close, right here in my homeland and with my people,” León said in a statement. “We invited folks I admire and respect to create a party where music feels free, without borders. Hermosillo has been asking for a night like this… to catch the vibe together and make some noise from the soul.”

The festival is a tribute to the culture of Northwestern Mexico and will deliver a diverse lineup of artists with high-level production and immersive experiences, and the event aims to highlight Hermosillo’s growing influence in music to showcase Northern Mexico as a capable and viable touring destination.

León, who recently signed with WME for representation, is one of Mexican music’s most popular ambassadors, with more than 28 million monthly listeners on Spotify. He’s a fan of all genres, and it shows in his music by fusing regional Mexican with folk, country, heartland rock and pop.
