Re-envisioning what pop can be in the 21st century, AJR unassumingly emerged as a ubiquitous hit-making outlier and one of the biggest indie bands in the world. Since 2012, the multi platinum indie pop trio—Adam [bass, vocals], Jack [vocals, guitar], and Ryan [ukulele, piano, vocals]—have generated billions of streams and earned one triple-platinum single, one double-platinum single, four platinum singles, and one platinum album. 2019’s "Neotheater" marked their biggest first-week debut, bowing at #8 on the Billboard Top 200, #1 on the Top Alternative Albums Chart, and #1 on the Top Rock Albums Chart. Cemented as part of the modern zeitgeist, Spotify touted “Sober Up” [feat. Rivers Cuomo] among the “Best Rock Songs of the 2010s," while Apple Music included “Weak” on its “Best Alt Songs of the 2010s.” Not to mention, they remain one of the “500 Most-Listened to Artists” on Spotify. On the heels of Neotheater, they dropped the 2020 platinum blockbuster “BANG!”, which cracked the Top 10 at three radio formats, peaking at No. 6 on the Top 40 chart, No. 2 on Alternative radio and No. 1 on Adult Pop and marked their first Top 10 entry on the Billboard Hot 100. Their latest album, "The Maybe Man" [AJR Productions/Republic Records], was released in 2023. The title character is “a big sad superhero who is always questioning who he is” – Like a giant out of your favorite fairy tale), emotion hangs over his head, so it doesn’t have to hang over yours.

El Coyote (José Ángel Ledezma Quintero) and Chuy Lizárraga are two of the most recognizable voices in banda sinaloense, known for powerhouse vocals, big-brass arrangements, and crowd-singing anthems that keep the dance floor moving. El Coyote rose through top Sinaloa bands before launching "El Coyote y Su Banda Tierra Santa" in the late ’90s, building a loyal following with hits like “Piquites de Hormiga” and “Árboles de la Barranca.” Chuy Lizárraga—leader of Chuy Lizárraga y Su Banda Tierra Sinaloense—brings his signature ranchera-and-banda blend and fan favorites like “La Peinada (La Peinadita)” and “Partido en Dos,” with a touring catalog that spans romantic heartbreak to full-tilt party starters. Together, their Capibaras Tour is a double-headliner celebration of classic banda energy—high-spirited, horn-driven, and built for nonstop sing-alongs from the first note to the last.
