Concerts in Campo Marte

Experience Campo Marte

Campo Marte is an expansive outdoor concert venue located within the Polanco district of Mexico City, historically part of the larger Chapultepec Park grounds. Originally a military parade ground – hence “Campo Marte” (Field of Mars) – it transitioned into a major entertainment space in the 1990s. Its architecture is minimal, prioritizing open space and sightlines for large audiences; stages are temporary constructions tailored to each event.

The venue primarily hosts large-scale concerts featuring international and Mexican artists spanning pop, rock, electronic, and Latin music genres. It’s known for its capacity – accommodating up to 65,000 attendees – making it one of the largest outdoor venues in the city. Unlike many indoor arenas, Campo Marte offers an open-air experience, often with views of the surrounding cityscape.

Historically significant performances include concerts by The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, and numerous Latin American music icons. Beyond concerts, it occasionally hosts festivals and cultural events. Amenities generally include food and beverage vendors, though facilities are geared towards large crowd management rather than luxury comforts. Its location within Polanco provides relatively easy access via major thoroughfares but can experience significant traffic congestion during events.
