About the festival

No-C turns 30 and is marking it with six hours of open-air rock at the Bosque de la Ciudad: Saturday, September 12, 2026, from 7:00 PM to 1:00 AM. This is not a tour date or an out-of-town act passing through — it is the covers band that has spent three decades playing Mexicali bars throwing its own party in a city park.

The band was born in Hermosillo, Sonora, but Mexicali ended up being home — Little Rock, the Irish Pub, the Bosque de la Ciudad. Their own anniversary count adds up: they celebrated 20 years in 2016, 22 in 2018 and now 30, which puts the start at 1996. Along the way they have shared stages with Jaguares, Miguel Mateos, La Lupita, Jumbo and Maná, and in 2019 they handled the Led Zeppelin tribute at the British Rock Fest that IMACUM staged in this very park.

What they play is covers, but with unusual range: their live recordings include Metallica and System of a Down alongside Earth, Wind & Fire, Bob Marley, Maná and Eros Ramazzotti. It is billed as a "festival" and runs six hours, though neither Ticketnauta nor the official poster has announced guest bands: for now, theirs is the only confirmed name.

Tickets and prices

Tickets are on sale through Ticketnauta in two tiers: GENERAL $330 and PERIQUERA $530 MXN. Those are box-office prices paid in cash; buying online adds a service cost and a transaction fee, bringing the totals to the figures in the table. Note that Ticketnauta does not explain what the "Periquera" tier is at this venue — the term comes from palenques and charro rings, where it is the upper section — so it is worth checking the seat map before paying. Buy only through official channels.

⚠️ No setlist has been published for the anniversary. This list comes from videos of their live shows uploaded by various people — several by their own drummer — and gives a sense of the range: thrash to soul in the same night. All of these are covers.

Getting to the Bosque de la Ciudad

Bosque de la Ciudad
Calle Alvarado s/n, Col. Nueva Esperanza, Mexicali, B.C.

The Bosque y Zoológico de la Ciudad is Mexicali's big park, on Calle Alvarado in the Nueva Esperanza neighbourhood, and this is not the first time a stage has gone up here: the British Rock Fest was held here in 2019. It is open-air, and September nights in Mexicali are still hot, so dress light and bring water. There is parking, but for a six-hour event it pays to arrive early.

New to the park? We have a full guide: hours, the zoo, the water park and what is inside.See the City Forest & Zoo guide

Frequently asked questions

Saturday, September 12, 2026, from 7:00 PM to 1:00 AM, at the Bosque de la Ciudad (Calle Alvarado s/n, Nueva Esperanza, Mexicali).

Date, time, venue and prices verified directly on Ticketnauta on August 9, 2026 and cross-checked against the official event poster. The band details — origin, members and career — come from the article "Anuncian tributo al rock inglés" in Adelante Valle / Imperial Valley Press (May 6, 2019); that line-up is the one published then and may have changed. No direct source states the founding year: it is inferred from their 20th, 22nd and 30th anniversaries all pointing to 1996. Dates, times and prices may change; confirm with the official ticket seller before making plans.
