Eslabon Armado ‘Excited’ to Make Mexico Debut: ‘My Dream Has Always Been to Go’

Eslabon Armado will perform for the first time in Mexico this month, and Pedro Tovar, the group’s leader and main vocalist, couldn’t be happier.
“The last time I went to Mexico, I was six years old,” he tells Billboard Español. “When we started our first tour in 2020, my dream was always to go, but it hadn’t been possible, so I’m very excited.”
Making its debut in the country as part of the Vibras de Noche II Tour, the Californian band behind the smash hit song “Ella Baila Sola” (with Peso Pluma) will arrive at the Banamex Auditorium in Monterrey on May 16 for the first of three confirmed dates. The other two will be four months later, when the band returns to perform on Sept. 12 in Mexico City at the Pepsi Center WTC, and on Sept. 13 at the Telmex Auditorium in Guadalajara.
There’s also the possibility of adding more dates, in cities like Guanajuato and Tijuana. “I look at the stats on streaming platforms, and I realize that most of our fans are from Mexico,” Tovar says. “In the comments, they constantly ask us to perform in all the cities, so we’re going to make it happen for them.”
For its shows in Mexico, Eslabon Armado has prepared a special setlist, along with a lights design and visuals. They will also feature a guest performer, at least in the capital city: Macario Martínez, the young janitor who went viral on TikTok for a video promoting his song “Sueña Lindo.” The emerging Mexican folk singer has already collaborated with Eslabon on “Esa Noche,” included in the group’s latest album, Vibras de Noche II, which debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums charts in March.

“I saw his story on TikTok, sent him a message on Instagram, and he replied,” Tovar recounts. “We had a video call and chatted for about an hour. I suggested a collaboration, and he immediately said yes, so I sent him the song ‘Esa Noche.’ He did his part, and it turned out to be a really good track.”
With new drums and electric guitars sounds complementing their regional Mexican style, Vibras de Noche II —a sequel to their No. 1 2020 album Vibras de Noche— is the first production the group has released independently under their own label, Eslabon Records, distributed by Interscope. Previously, they were signed to Del Records, which they joined in 2020 and with which they released No. 1 albums including Tu Veneno Mortal (2020) and Desvelado (2023), among others.
The band’s current tour, named after its latest album, began on March 7 and will keep them on the road through 2025.
