Things to Do in Mexico City in January 2027

January starts quietly in Mexico City. The city spends the first week on Día de Reyes and rosca de reyes, and the stages warm up slowly. By mid-month the calendar fills up:

• Formula E brings its new GEN4 cars to the Autódromo.
• NSQK plays the biggest show of his career at Estadio GNP Seguros.
• The month ends with sombr at the Pepsi Center and the start of a long Fuerza Regida run at the Palacio de los Deportes.

This guide lists what was on sale in early October 2026, date by date. More dates are added through the autumn, so the Mexico City page is always the most complete list.

The Dates That Shape the Month

Formula E: The GEN4 Cars Arrive

The Mexico City E-Prix is on Saturday, January 16 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez.

• Why this one matters: it's only the second race weekend for Formula E's new GEN4 car, after the season opener in Jeddah in December, so Mexico City is one of the first places anywhere to see it race.
• Tickets: sold through Ticketmaster México by section (grandstands, boxes and platinum areas), each listed separately.

Just After the Month

ZONAMACO 2027 runs Wednesday, February 3 to Sunday, February 7 at Centro Citibanamex. Start planning your first week of February now. Tickets through ZONAMACO.

How to Plan the Month

• The first week is family time. Día de Reyes (Jan 6) isn't an official holiday, but the city treats it like one: bakeries sell rosca de reyes everywhere, and whoever finds the figurine in their slice hosts tamales on February 2, Candlemas. Stages stay quiet until about the 9th.
• Saturday, January 16 is the big day. The E-Prix at the Autódromo and Apocalyptica at the Auditorio Nacional fall on the same day. The Autódromo is in the east of the city; plan the metro (Line 9, Ciudad Deportiva) rather than a car.
• Saturday, January 23 is the other one. NSQK at Estadio GNP Seguros (next to the Autódromo) and Black Label Society at the Velódromo, close by, on the same night. Expect heavy traffic around Iztacalco.
• We don't publish prices. They change by section and sale phase; always check on the seller's page.
