In a night that will be forever marked, Resorte celebrated their 30-year career on August 2nd, 2025 with a show at the Lunario of the National Auditorium. Over a thousand attendees packed the venue (official capacity of 1,000 people according to Lunario itself), demonstrating that the band, despite ups and downs and breaks, remains as relevant as ever thanks to their recent album República Zombie (2024).
The concert started without compromise: "América," the piece that catapulted them from anonymity in 1997, opened the setlist and unleashed a wave of screams and raised fists. Without letting up, they continued with classics from República de Ciegos and XL like "J.T.R.B.," "Chinguense," "Opina o muere," "Respeto," and "Hijos de la bonga," reminding everyone why these riffs still resonate in the scene. Then, they interwove recent songs like "Navegando" and "Hazte pa' llá" with the power of their new material, confirming that the bridge between past and present can be built with sharp guitars.
The band didn't skimp on nuances. They followed with rap and hip-hop moments, with "Ánimo," "Alcohol," "Caliente," and "Brota," demonstrating that fusion that has always distinguished them. In the middle of the set, the intensity led to a frantic medley that combined songs from different eras and kept the audience jumping without rest.
The most emotional segment came with "Tinta (Códigos)" and the recent "Si Hoy Me Voy," dedicated to Tavo, an eternal member in the band's memory. For the encores, they saved the heavy artillery: "Modo Bestia," "Todos de Pie," and "Aquí no es donde," songs that reflect the ferocity with which Resorte approaches their present and left the audience singing along to the last word.
The show was also a parade of friendships on stage. Ms Ambar joined for "Si Hoy Me Voy," Erick and Fear from Allison ignited "Puro Rock," while Mario García from Ánimo Soy appeared to give a twist to "Alexa Dark." The metallic aggressiveness of Óscar (Lack of Remorse) elevated "Vienen por Ti," and the legendary Charal sparked nostalgia in "República de Ciegos" and "Sobre Tierra." Each collaboration was received with euphoria, consolidating a sense of community between generations of musicians.
To warm up the engines, the young members of Dread and the legendary band Los Viejos—both great friends of Resorte—took the stage as opening acts, earning the first choruses and preparing the ground for the main discharge.
What was experienced at Lunario wasn't just a simple concert; it was a ritual charged with memory and power. Resorte, with three decades under their belt, demonstrated that they remain an unstoppable force.
