Intocable Commemorates Mexican Independence Day Alongside 300,000 Fans in Zócalo: ‘Celebrating on This Date Is Pure Poetry’
The Texan group took the stage on Tuesday (Sept. 15) at the country’s main public square to join in its biggest celebration.
On Tuesday, September 15, 2026, legendary Tex-Mex band Intocable celebrated Mexican Independence Day alongside 300,000 fans in Mexico City's Zócalo. The event, led by President Claudia Sheinbaum, marked the 216th anniversary of Mexico's Independence. Frontman Ricky Muñoz, 51, had double reason to celebrate as he fulfilled his lifelong dream of performing at the country's main public square for the first time.
Muñoz expressed his emotional gratitude, stating, "Being able to celebrate on Mexico's most important date is pure poetry." He added, "Mexico, truly, thank you so much. You can’t imagine what this night means to us." Hours before the performance, Muñoz shared with Billboard Español that President Sheinbaum invited him to perform at the country's most important civic event last year.
The band, co-founded by drummer René Muñoz in Zapata, Texas, 36 years ago, joined other national and international artists who have performed at the world's second-largest public square.
