Festival Ceremonia

Ceremonia, known for sponsorship reasons as AXE Ceremonia, is a music festival that takes place in Mexico City. Once a one day-festival, it became a multi-day festival showcasing major international and local alternative acts. Throughout the years since its inception in 2013, attendance has rapidly increased and Ceremonia is now one of Mexico's biggest music festivals, and one of the most important alternative music festivals in Latin America. The musical style of Ceremonia is similar to European festivals such as Primavera Sound and Roskilde, focusing on alternative rock, electronica, contemporary R&B, neo soul and hip hop, with prominent figures of alt-reggaeton and corridos tumbados being featured as well.

History
The festival was created by Diego Jiménez Labora, who came up with the idea of holding a festival of alternative music with inclusive activities and spaces. The name Ceremonia comes from the Joy Division-written song "Ceremony", which Jiménez considered as a "reference to alternative music". After being originally planned to be held at Parque Ecológico de Xochimilco in Mexico City, the first edition of the festival was held on 14 September 2013, at Centro Dinámico Pegaso in Toluca. Following seven editions and a two years absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the site of Ceremonia was moved further to the Parque Bicentenario in Mexico City for the eighth edition in 2022. Additionally, the 2023 edition became the first year of the festival to take place over two days. == Line-ups by year ==
