The inauguration of Arena Guadalajara, the metropolitan area’s newest and largest performing arts and sports venue, has been postponed by three months due to construction delays.
The 20,000-seat arena was originally set to open on February 22 with a concert by Mexican pop star Carlos Rivera. However, the event has now been rescheduled for April 25, the date by which builders have promised the venue will be completed.
Four other concerts planned for March have also been rescheduled:
• Beret: Moved from March 8 to October 10.
• La Banda MS: Moved from March 15 to June 28.
• José Madero with Sarajevo: Moved from March 22 to May 31.
• Intocable: Moved from March 29 to April 26.

The arena’s original lineup of 12 shows, scheduled from February through April, features exclusively Mexican artists. International acts will take the stage starting May 1 and 2, when U.S. pop star Katy Perry is set to perform two concerts.
The February 22 opening was scheduled after an initial September 2024 deadline was missed.
Arena Guadalajara is being developed by Avalanz Zignia Live, the operator behind Arena Ciudad de México (22,300 capacity) and Arena Monterrey (17,600 capacity).
