Diplo’s Major Lazer and Los Ángeles Azules featuring Belinda and Elena Rose are among the artists set to take the stage for the 2026 FIFA World Cup‘s Countdown Concert series, FIFA announced Tuesday (June 2). The shows are taking place simultaneously in Mexico City, Los Angeles and Toronto on June 10.
Developed in collaboration with the Grammys, the Countdown Concert series connects three of the host countries — Mexico, the United States and Canada — with a synched show that will take place ahead of the tournament, featuring international stars.
In Mexico City, the iconic cumbia band Los Ángeles Azules featuring pop star Belinda and Venezuelan singer-songwriter Elena Rose will headline the historic night at the Auditorio Nacional. There will also be an as yet unnamed special guest, according to the press release.
The Countdown Concert in the Latin American host country will be held in conjunction with the México Vibra event, which will bring together stars such as Alejandro Fernández, Carín León, Timbiriche, Carla Morrison and Meme del Real, also at the Auditorio Nacional.
In L.A., Diplo will showcase his Major Lazer project, with Davido also set to perform in an unforgettable night of music and celebration. Additional performers will be announced at a later date.
FIFA announced the Toronto show’s lineup on May 29. The show in Canada will feature performances by Bryan Adams, Nora Fatehi alongside Sanjoy and Vegedream, as well as a collaboration between AHI and Wyclef Jean, along with appearances by other artists and special guests to be announced.
The Countdown Concert will be streamed live starting at 7 p.m. in Mexico City, 6 p.m. in Los Angeles and 8 p.m. in Toronto (local time). It will be available on FIFA’s digital channels, including a global livestream on the FIFA World Cup TikTok account.
