The celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Vive Latino festival turned into a big party on Saturday (March 15), with rhythms like rock and cumbia taking center stage through the voices of some of their greatest exponents, including Mexican bands CaifanesLos Ángeles Azules, and El Gran Silencio.

On its first day of activities, the musical gathering, which returned after a year to its original venue at Estadio GNP Seguros (formerly Foro Sol), brought together 80,000 people, according to promoter Ocesa.

One of the most anticipated and applauded performances was by the legendary group Los Ángeles Azules, who made a triumphant return to the popular music festival 12 years after their memorable debut. Meanwhile, Caifanes added a social touch by addressing themes such as the crisis of femicides in Mexico and migration during their main stage performance.

There were big surprises, like the highly-awaited debut of emerging artist Macario Martínez at Vive Latino. In addition to his solo act at the Carpa Intolerante stage, he was invited to perform alongside the band Little Jesus. Emotional highlights of the marathon of a day included the appearance of Molotov‘s guitarist and vocalist, Tito Fuentes, who joined his bandmates near the end of their set to celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary, after previously announcing he was taking a health-related hiatus.

Emmanuel “Meme” del Real, keyboardist of the popular band Café Tacvba, also delivered one of the most special performances, showcasing new songs from his solo repertoire. Another standout moment came from the German band Scorpions, who fulfilled a promise to their Mexican fans after canceling their performance at the festival last year.

Day one of the festival also saw appearances from Spanish and English-speaking acts, including Nortec: Bostich + Fussible, Él Mató a Un Policía Motorizado, Foster the People, The Guapos, Caloncho and Jesse Baez.

On Sunday (March 16), the festival continues with performances by Zoé, Mon Laferte, Aterciopelados, Sepultura, Keane, Draco Rosa, Los K’comxtles, Eden Muñoz, Kany García, Porter, Rüfüs Du Sol and Cuarteto De Nos, among others. For the second year in a row, and thanks to a partnership with Amazon Music, concerts can be streamed for free through the digital platform.

Below are some of our favorite moments from the first day of the 2025 Vive Latino festival, as it celebrates its first quarter-century.

LE SSERAFIM‘s HOT tops this week’s new music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (March 14) on Billboard, choosing the South Korean pop group’s fresh EP as their favorite new music release of the past week.

This week’s poll was brimming with competition, but the latest from LE SSERAFIM had supporters swooping in with 86% of the vote. Voters this week chose HOT over new music releases from an impressive pool of music talent — with artists in the mix including Chappell Roan, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, Playboi Carti, Haim, Sleep Token, Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Peso Pluma and Charley Crockett.

HOT is LE SSERAFIM’s fifth mini album, the follow-up to last year’s CRAZY, which reached No. 7 on the Billboard 200, their highest spot on the all-genre albums chart to date.

The girl group’s HOT set — featuring five songs: title track “Hot,” plus “Born Fire,” “Come Over,” “Ash” and “So Cynical (Badum)” — dropped on March 14, along with an official music video for “Hot” (seen above). Fans first got a teaser about the project from singers Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Huh Yunjin, Kazuha and Hong Eunchae in February.

In April, they’ll head out on the Easy Crazy Hot Tour in support of their recent EPs, with concert dates currently scheduled in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, the Phillippines, Thailand and Singapore.

Among the new music trailing behind HOT on the poll this week are Chappell Roan’s new single, “The Giver,” with 4% of the vote; Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s latest track, “Sunset Blvd,” with 2% of the vote, and Playboi Carti’s Music album, also with 2% of the vote.

See the final results of this week’s poll below.

Rolling Loud California, day one was packed with big performances and vibrant energy. From interviewing some of the stars slated to perform to bringing you highlights from the day’s shows, keep watching as we recap everything you may have missed on day one!

What did you think of Rolling Loud day one? Let us know in the comments below!

Tetris Kelly:

Billboard is at Rolling Loud Los Angeles, and from the vibes to the interviews with the artists and seeing them on stage, we take you there in “Billboard All Access.”

Cash Cobain:

Rolling Loud is from California. I see the palm trees. It’s beautiful. It’s amazing. I’m about to go perform right now, so, you know what I’m saying, it’s feeling good right now. 

Tetris Kelly:

Before making it to the headliners, we had to check out the vibes at Hollywood Park, and fans were taking advantage of actual carnival rides, in addition to getting their hair and looks on point at multiple activations with tattoos and more. And don’t forget karaoke. There were also real artists backstage before their big sets. 

DDG:

I just want to be one of the ones that come out here one day. And you know, I’m not pulling up at three o’clock, I’m pulling up at the SoFi Stadium doing — hell out of my own s—. You know what I mean?

Tetris Kelly:

Also you’re on the track with headliner Playboi Carti, man. Billboard ranked it the eighth best song out of the 30 songs. So how was it to work with my boy? 

Cash Cobain:

Shout out to “FINE S—” man. For sure.

Tetris Kelly:

How is it to see, like, your peers out in the crowd and stuff at performances? 

Derrick Milano:

It’s like you see them in the elements, and you see all the work and the hard work that’s put in, and you just appreciate who they are as artists and what you do.

Tetris Kelly:

And do you actually care about any of the other headliners that’s played, like anybody’s set you are trying to see before you bounce out tonight?

Keep watching for more!

Role Model wanted to sing a version of “Nothing New,” the melancholic Taylor Swift Red (Taylor’s Version) vault track that features Phoebe Bridgers, that he could do a little two-step to while screaming out the chorus — adding a dash of drunken coziness to Swift’s ruminating after a night of imbibing in a few too many. And so “Nothing New (Tucker’s Version)” was born, with Role Model debuting his live cover of Swift’s song on Australian radio station Triple J’s “Like a Version” series.

“Standout song for me,” says Role Model, aka Tucker Harrington Pillsbury, in an accompanying interview clip with the station released on Thursday (March 13) while he’s on the road with his band, playing sold-out shows in Brooklyn and Boston this weekend and returning as opener on Gracie Abrams‘ Secret of Us Tour this summer.

He stumbled upon the Red-era song while working on his sophomore studio album, 2024’s Kansas Anymore.

As Role Model recalls, “I was constantly adding songs to my playlist, like a music inspo playlist, and this one I came across. I had no idea Taylor Swift and Phoebe Bridgers were on a song together. I’m scared to say it, but I think Phoebe brought me into the Taylor Swift world — which is great.”

Watch Role Model’s Live Cover of “Nothing New”

“She’s incredible,” he says of Swift. “She’s one of the best songwriters of our generation.”

“Nothing New,” a song that didn’t make the cut on the original Red album in 2012 but resurfaced amidst the 2021 re-recording of the set, has Swift contemplating her shelf life as a promising young pop-country star; verses are traded with Bridgers, who also lends harmony to the chorus and bridge. Swift and Bridgers brought the song to the stage for the first time on May 5, 2023 in Nashville, the first of several nights the Punisher singer-songwriter joined the lineup of the The Eras Tour.

“I love the chorus and [how] it changes slightly every time,” says Role Model of “Nothing New,” explaining why he went where he did with his interpretation of the tune. “It just feels good, like, ‘I’ve had too much to drink tonight’ — I wanna scream it and dance to it. So that’s why we added drums and a little bit of twang to it. I wanted to bump up the tempo just a little bit, add drums and bring it into the world of Kansas Anymore. Just give it a little warmth and a slight dance-y groove, and some twang. We had the peddle steel come in. I just wanted to be able to do a slow two-step to it.”

Though “Nothing New” is written from the perspective of a girl in the spotlight worrying it’s only a matter a time before a fresher face takes her place (“People love an ingénue,” Swift remarks, a sad line with dry delivery, after Bridgers sings, “Are we only biding time ’til I lose your attention?”), Role Model can empathize with the lyrics as an artist.

“I have said this many times before,” he shares. “People’s attention spans are very short, and they’re getting shorter. I try not to bathe in the attention that I’m getting now in this place of my career, which is, I guess, probably, the best place I’ve been in my career. I try not to shower myself in that because I know people are gonna forget at some point or move on, and there’s gonna be a nice, shinier little Tucker that comes along and outdoes me. I get it. I relate to Miss Taylor.”

Role Model
Role Model arrives at the 15th Annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards at The Wiltern on Feb. 23, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

Role Model once met Bridgers at Coachella, but humbly assumes she doesn’t remember it. He hasn’t met Swift, though between this performance circulating and his tour with Abrams, he’s arguably now in the pop icon’s orbit, at least tangentially. An opener on Swift’s Eras Tour, Abrams ended up co-writing and recording the Grammy-nominated duet “us.” with her, a highlight on her The Secret of Us album.

Of his hope to meet Swift someday, Role Model, who in February released a few new songs (including “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out,” seen below) via deluxe album Kansas Anymore (The Longest Goodbye), says, “I would love to. I would love to.”

For someone who didn’t really identify as a fan of Swift until “Nothing New,” he’s got a reasonable grasp on the power of Swifties. His polite plea to those who hear his cover: “Just don’t hate me. If you don’t like it, I understand. If you liked it, thank you so much — I’m honored. I’m scared of both of you in the best way, so go easy on me.”

“Send hearts,” he says with optimism, making the signature heart hands Swift’s fandom knows.

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced 2025’s Children’s and Family Emmy Awards winners during a ceremony at Television City in Los Angeles on Saturday night (March 15).

Hosted by Eric Bauza, the third annual Children’s and Family Emmy Awards honored the “pinnacle of creativity and innovation in children’s entertainment,” NATAS says.

Grupo Frontera and Majo Aguilar brought the Mexican spice to Billboard‘s THE STAGE at SXSW. Keep watching for a sneak peek of the second night!

Narrator: 

Frontera had everyone in their feels last night at Billboard’s The Stage at SXSW in Austin, and we have all the details! The guys were a total vibe in all black. Love was in the air, and couples were slow dancing as Payo rocked the mic, leaving absolutely no crumbs with hits like “No Se Va” and “Hecha Pa’ Mi.”

Backstage, the band smiled as they signed their Billboard cover, and back on stage, rising regional star Majo Aguilar crushed it as the opening act in a mint two-piece with mariachi, setting the scene for an unforgettable night of tejanas, boots and fire Música Mexicana.

Have you caught on to the Regional Mexican craze? Share your love in the comments below! And for continued coverage on all your SXSW music news, keep it tuned in to Billboard.

Papa Roach extends its career-best streak of No. 1s on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, lifting a place to No. 1 on the March 22-dated survey with “Even If It Kills Me.”

The track is the band’s fourth No. 1 in a row and 11th overall. The group’s streak dates to the one-week reign of “No Apologies” in 2022, followed by triumphs for “Cut the Line” in 2023 and “Leave a Light On” in 2024.

The Jacoby Shaddix-led band takes over sole possession of the 10th-most No. 1s in the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart’s 44-year history. The act first reached the chart with the No. 4-peaking “Last Resort” in 2000 and first led with “Lifeline” in 2009.
