Trópico 2023 Festival
The Trópico 2023 Festival will be held in Mexico City and will donate all its proceeds to Acapulco.
The Trópico Festival celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, and although it has undergone some changes, the festival continues.
After the passage of Hurricane Otis in Acapulco, the Trópico 2023 festival had to relocate its 10th edition to Mexico City, with the intention of helping the state that has always welcomed them with open arms.
Last September, the Trópico festival revealed the lineup for this year, as well as the ticket sales for the three-day event; however, Acapulco is going through difficult times, and to give back a little of what has been received, the organizers decided to proceed with the event, but this time in Mexico City.
The Trópico 2023 Festival was practically ready to kick off celebrating its tenth anniversary on the coast of Acapulco. However, after Hurricane “Otis” made landfall on October 25th, and the city of Guerrero suffered terrible devastation affecting hotels, tourist centers, and citizens, many events scheduled for the last bimester of 2023 have been postponed.
When and Where will Trópico 2023 be?
The Trópico 2023 festival will take place on Saturday, December 9th, at Parque Bicentenario, located in the Azcapotzalco borough of Mexico City. Additionally, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to help Guerrero through Construyendo, a non-profit organization that promotes solidarity through volunteers supporting construction projects.
Information regarding the lineup after this change, as well as the issue of previously purchased tickets, will be revealed on Wednesday, November 15th, so stay tuned to their social media.
Reportedly, in response to the emergency in Acapulco, the festival will continue but will be reduced to a single day in a venue in Mexico City. For this, it is known that this will be a charity edition, and those who have already purchased their tickets will have two options:
Firstly, they can join Trópico 2023 in support of Acapulco, keeping their valid ticket for the 2023 event, a single-day event in Mexico City. Additionally, they will receive $2,000 for food and beverage consumption within the festival for those who purchased weekend access, or $700 for those who were planning to attend only one day.
The second option is to request a full refund of the ticket price. (Details on how to request it are provided below).
Trópico 2023 lineup
While the festival has announced that the lineup will be different due to the change of venue, it’s important to remember who the confirmed artists were to have an idea of what to expect.
The headliners for the 10th edition were the British band Underworld and the Mexican group Café Tacvba. They were followed by Polo & Pan (Playa DJ Set), the iconic 2ManyDjs, Poolside, The XX’s member Romy with her solo project, Todd Terje (DJ), and Neil Frances. Representing neighborhood music would be Sonido La Changa and Pablito Mix.
When is Trópico 2023?
During the first days of July this year, Eco, Archipiélago, and Grupo Pegaso, the event organizers, unveiled the dates for the Trópico 2023 Festival, which was planned for December 8th, 9th, and 10th. However, after Hurricane “Otis” devastated Acapulco, the event has changed; now, the festival will take place only on November 9th. And, given the situation, the venue has also been modified.
Where will Trópico 2023 be?
As usual since its debut in 2021, the Trópico 2023 Festival was expected to take place on the coast of Acapulco, Guerrero, the closest beach to Mexico City. But given the current situation in the city, the organizers have changed the venue. For the first time, the Trópico Festival will take place away from the sun and the beach. This time, the venue is the Bicentennial Park in Mexico City.
