The NFL has officially announced that the acclaimed sister rock trio The Warning will serve as the headliners for the halftime show at the upcoming international game in Mexico City. The highly anticipated matchup, scheduled for November 22, will feature the Minnesota Vikings facing off against the San Francisco 49ers at Estadio Banorte.
Coming off the release of their fourth studio album, Everything’s Falling, which arrived on August 28, the band is set to take the stage at approximately 7:20PM local time (8:20PM ET). This performance marks a significant milestone for the group, who have expressed deep enthusiasm about representing their home country on such a prominent global stage.
We are beyond thrilled to be part of this NFL event in our home country and at such an iconic stadium. We love the NFL, and every time we work together, we cannot wait to do it again. Playing the halftime show during an international Sunday night game is an incredible privilege, and we cannot wait to show fans what Mexico and its people have to offer. It will be a night to remember — we’ll do what we do best and amp up the excitement of the game. You have been warned!
Tim Tubito, the senior director of global game presentation, music and entertainment at the NFL, praised the selection of the band. He noted that Mexico City possesses a unique passion for both football and music, and that The Warning embodies the energy, authenticity, and local connection required for such a high-profile performance. According to the NFL, the band is the perfect choice to deliver an unforgettable moment for fans in attendance.
A Historic Rise for The Warning
The trio—comprised of sisters Daniela “Dany,” Paulina “Pau,” and Alejandra “Ale” Villarreal—has been on a meteoric rise, bolstered by the success of their hit single “Kerosene.” Their recent achievements include setting two significant Billboard chart records: they are the first Mexican band and the first all-woman band to reach the top spot on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart.
For fans looking to catch the action, the halftime performance will be broadcast live in Mexico via TelevisaUnivision’s Canal 5 and ESPN. Those interested in attending the game in person can visit the official NFL website to register for early access to pre-sale tickets, which also grants eligibility for exclusive merchandise drops and special game-day offers.
