Mexico City's Zócalo, the country's main public square, has long been a stage for unforgettable musical events.

The Zócalo's status as a hub for major cultural events was further cemented earlier this month when it played host to a screening of the late Mexican singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel's first concert at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in 1990. This event, organized by Netflix to promote a new docuseries on the "Divo de Juárez," drew a massive crowd of 170,000 people, according to the city government.
The Zócalo is considered an iconic and highly significant location, as it is a square full of symbolism where politics, social movements, culture, and religion converge. It is the second-largest public square in the world, only behind Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Over the years, the Zócalo has hosted a wide range of musical acts, from Los Tigres del Norte to Paul McCartney and Shakira, cementing its status as one of the world's premier outdoor concert venues.
