Corona Capital is an annual music festival held in Mexico City,^[1] taking place in the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.^[2] It debuted in 2010 and is organized by Grupo CIE. It primarily features rock and alternative music.^[2]

The festival has managed to establish itself as one of the largest and most on-demand music events in Latin America^[3], and its considered to be Mexico's equivalent to festivals such as Coachella and Lollapalooza^[4] having headliners such as Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, The Stone Roses, Portishead and Pixies.^[5]

In 2018, the festival expanded to the state of Jalisco during springtime with a completely different lineup billed as Corona Capital Guadalajara^[6].

Although the festival's commercial and media success, it has also being subject of many criticism and controversy after banning all local and Spanish-speaking performers in 2013^[7].

According to its organizers, the decision to focus only in English-speaking talent was made as a "solely commercial movement"^[8] being also organizers of other festivals such as Vive Latino and Electric Daisy Carnival where they can support their local performers, resulting in Corona Capital being the only music festival in the world that hosts only foreigner talent from outside the hosting country^[9].
