Latin Mafia Is ‘Hungry to Decide Where We're Going Next' After Lollapalooza 2025
Latin Mafia will cap off their first international tour, Te Odio y Te Extraño Mucho (I Hate and Miss You So Much), with a summer performance at the iconic Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, where they will close out the shows on The Grove stage on Aug. 3. 'We're just so excited; it's the first time we're closing a stage at such an important festival,' Milton de la Rosa, part of the Mexican indie-pop trio, tells Billboard Español. 'When we went to Coachella [in 2024], we also just said, 'Today is just another day doing what we love, another day doing what we were born to do.'' More from Billboard Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, TWICE & More to Headline Lollapalooza 2025 Conner Smith Issued Misdemeanor Citation Following Fatal Nashville Car Accident Polaris Music Prize 2025 Short List Includes Albums by Mustafa, Nemahsis, Saya Gray & More Their appearance at the U.S. festival — headlined this year by Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, TWICE and Korn — marks the pinnacle of a successful concert season for brothers Mike de la Rosa and twins Milton and Emilio, who have seen their fanbase grow exponentially in Mexico and the U.S. over the last three years. The excitement they generate will also take them to the stages of another major music event this fall, Austin City Limits, where they will again share the lineup with Sabrina Carpenter, as well as Hozier, The Strokes, Doechii and Empire of the Sun, among others. In their home country, Latin Mafia has achieved previously unimaginable milestones, such as selling out three shows at Mexico City's Palacio de los Deportes on May 31, June 1 and July 5, reaching 63,500 tickets sold, according to promoter OCESA. Months earlier, the trio — originally from the border city of Monterrey — held a free listening party for their 2024 debut album, TODOS LOS DÍAS TODO EL DÍA, at the same venue. 'Five years ago, I came here to see Twenty One Pilots and waited in line for nine hours, and now we've done four shows here,' Emilio says excitedly. As one of the most original acts in the current Latin pop scene, Latin Mafia has won over fans with their emotional songs and fusion of rhythms such as pop, reggaeton, R&B and trap. The Te Odio y Te Extraño Mucho tour included 38 concerts in just a few months, 17 of which sold out in the U.S. and 14 in Mexico, according to their promoters. The tour featured an innovative 360-degree stage setup with screens and closed-circuit cameras. At their May 31 show at the Palacio de los Deportes, guest stars included Spanish artist Rusowsky, Chilean singer Akrilla, and Guatemalan-American rapper Jesse Baez, who made another appearance at the July 5 show. Mexican-American artist Omar Apollo also performed and will release a duet with the band titled 'Hecho Para Ti' on July 24. In addition to the thrill of hearing them live, the trio's music racks up thousands of daily streams on digital platforms. Last weekend, the Mexican Association of Producers of Phonograms (Amprofon) awarded them a Platinum Record for 'No Digas Nada' and four Gold Records for the songs 'Flores,' 'Se Fue La Luz,' 'Siento Que Merezco Más,' and 'Julieta.' 'It's overwhelming, but in another way, it's also very exciting to think about what's coming next,' says Milton de la Rosa. 'We've been touring and performing for over half a year now, and it'll end at some point. We're eager to get lost again, in a way, because we're hungry to decide where we're going next.'

City in Dallas: Supporting sky blue from Big D
Manchester City and Goal Click are collaborating to capture the passion and diversity of the City fanbase in the United States before we embark on our FIFA Club World Cup journey. We share the personal stories of City supporters across six US cities, highlighting the unique ways they support the team. Advertisement Originally from Mexico City, Emilio Silva found his second family in the Manchester City supporter group, Blue Moon Dallas. Oasis In The City My name is Emilio, and I am 30 years old, originally from Mexico City. I have lived in Dallas for over a decade and have spent the past six years working in the airline industry. Football has been a part of my life since childhood, thanks to my dad. We have always supported Club America, sharing unforgettable moments together. While Manchester City clinched the Treble, America were on a similar run with three league titles and chasing a fourth. WATCH THE FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP 2025 ON DAZN Advertisement As a kid, football is often your first true love. The first thing that makes you feel alive. There is nothing like the joy of a win and the heartbreak of a loss. Music is another lifelong passion. My dad introduced me to legends like The Beatles, Bee Gees, The Police, and Elvis Presley. Later, I discovered my own favourites like Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, Muse, The Stone Roses and above all - Oasis. In 2006, I learned that the Gallagher brothers were die-hard City fans and had played at Maine Road. I was hooked from there. Back then, City wasn't the giant it is today, but I did not care. I always chose them when I played FIFA with friends. That is when my love for the club truly began. Sound, Swagger, And Style My journey as a Manchester City fan did not begin like most international supporters. Growing up in Mexico, cable TV mostly showed La Liga and the biggest Premier League games, so I did not have a team I followed outside of Club America. Advertisement However, that changed when I discovered British music. Bands like The Smiths, The Jam, Stone Roses, Pulp, Blur, and especially Oasis sparked something in me. I started drumming to those songs in elementary school, formed a band in middle school, and one day my friend said, 'Let's play Supersonic.' That changed everything. Oasis became my world - their sound, swagger, style and their love for Manchester City. City did not have global superstars back then, but we had Nicolas Anelka, Micah Richards, Paul Dickov, a young Joe Hart, and even DaMarcus Beasley. Then came Elano, Martin Petrov and a name that made headlines in Mexico: Nery Castillo, signed under Sven-Goran Eriksson. That felt huge. I started searching for City games on TV and got my first jersey - the classic Le Coq Sportif kit. When Umbro came back, it was perfect because every Oasis fan knows Liam's iconic blue sweatshirt at Maine Road. Advertisement When Oasis split in 2009, I clung to City. The following season, we won the FA Cup under Mancini and finished third in the league. Tevez was the top scorer and I was in heaven. Then came May 13, 2012. My dad woke me up to watch the game. United had scored in their game. Then Zabaleta put us ahead. QPR equalised, then led. 'Typical City,' they said. But we fought back. Dzeko made it 2–2… and then came 93:20. Aguero to Balotelli. Balotelli to Aguero. AGUEROOOOOOO! I screamed, ran outside, cried, and hugged my dad. After 44 years, we were Premier League champions. It was one of the greatest days of my life. Advertisement In 2014, I moved to Dallas for college. It was hard at first because I missed home, but every weekend, I had City, and it kept me going. I graduated, made new friends, met my wife, and even met Noel Gallagher. He signed my arm, then I had it tattooed! Then came Pep. By 2018, we were playing breathtaking football. In 2019, I joined Blue Moon Dallas and finally had people to share matchdays with. That year, I also started working for an airline, which opened up a new chapter: traveling for City. Through my travel benefits, I have flown all over the world to attend City games! I have so many amazing memories from my journey as a City supporter, including watching them play against Club America and going to the Champions League Final in Istanbul, where I made great friends in the Chicago supporters club. I do have one superstition for finals or title-deciders. I always wear my 2022 home De Bruyne kit. It is my lucky charm. From Oasis in Mexico to celebrating history in Istanbul and singing in pubs with fans around the world, being a City fan has been unforgettable. Blue Moon Dallas Blue Moon Dallas began in the summer of 2012, sparked by Agüero's legendary title-winning goal against QPR. Advertisement Back then, a few Facebook pages with 'Dallas' and 'Man City' in their name connected, hoping to watch matches together. Our first official meetup was for the 2012 Community Shield vs. Chelsea, with just eight City fans. Now, over a decade later, Blue Moon Dallas has over 100 official members. We are also proud of the Noisy Neighbors Podcast, hosted by my mates Mulv and Joey who lead the group. It is the best City podcast out there. Even Johnny Marr from The Smiths has been on (and yes, he listens too, how cool is that?!). City's impact on Dallas is clear through the growth of our supporters club. We are part of a thriving Premier League fan scene, and everyone knows where to find us on match days - even for those 06:00 kickoffs! We have also hosted visiting supporters from New York, Chicago, Atlanta, and Mexico City. Carrying Momentum Supporting City during the FIFA Club World Cup is non-negotiable as part of my summer 2025 plans. Advertisement I am expecting a strong showing from the team. It has been a tough season at times, but Pep and the squad have turned it on when it mattered. They can carry that momentum into the tournament and, of course, I fully expect them to win it. It would be the perfect way to close the season and kick off the next one.
