Presented by Spotify, BÉLICOFEST 2025 is already a historic gathering, and now it’s stacked with an incredible roster of talent. Arsenal Efectivo will be sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in Mexican music, including legends like Gerardo Ortiz and superstars like Grupo Marca Registrada, Netón Vega, and Xavi. It’s a convergence of top-tier artists that truly celebrates the culture and sound of the “bélico” movement in all its glory. As the band themselves put it, “Bélicofest is the meeting point of our culture and our music.”
For anyone who’s been following the genre, you know how crucial Arsenal Efectivo is. They’re credited as the pioneers of the “Trap Corridos” subgenre, blending the raw storytelling of traditional corridos with the modern energy of trap. Their sound is unmistakable, built on two guitars and a bass, with a powerful brass section that gives their music an intense, direct vibe. This is the group that pushed the boundaries and got their debut album, En La Fuga, all the way to the Billboard charts. Seeing them bring their unapologetic, unfiltered sound to a festival of this magnitude is a major win for the genre.
This festival is more than just a party; it’s a cultural moment. With Arsenal Efectivo on the bill, BÉLICOFEST is set to be a true representation of the vibrant, innovative energy of today’s Mexican music scene. If you’re in the Southwest, you won’t want to miss this. For the full lineup and ticket info, hit up the official festival website.
