The xx's Triumphant Return in Mexico City

0:00It's April 4th, music news today starts now, AI powered and always on beat. The XX kicked off their next chapter with a full band show Friday in Mexico City, their first together in eight years. The trio Romi, Oliver Sim, and Jamie XX hit the Pepsi Center stage for a 19 song set pulling from all three of their albums plus solo cut since. Their last gig in July 2018. They opened strong with crystallized from their 2009 debut, then rolled through hits like islands, say something loving I dare you, and intro. Mid-set each member took the spotlight with solo tracks, Jamie XX on loud places, Sim with GMT, and Romi delivering Enjoy Your Life. Fans lost it over the reunion, especially since the band had only done informal pop-ups before, like Jamie XX's Glastonbury set this year. The group has always vibe hard with Mexico's crowd energy and warmth, calling this the perfect spot to return.

1:00This Mexico City gig is just the first of three sold out nights at the Pepsi Center. After that, they're hitting summer festivals including Coachella, Kilby Block party in Salt Lake City, and outside lands in San Francisco. Word from the band on social media says it's the start of sharing music live again in 2026, building on that deep fan connection.
