With a packed house, Christian Nodal leaves an unforgettable night at the Telmex Auditorium.

Guadalajara vibrated to the rhythm of regional Mexican music with Christian Nodal's highly anticipated concert at the Telmex Auditorium on the night of Friday, May 23. The youthful energy, the hearts of those in love, countless enthusiasts armed with all kinds of drinks and beers, and the festive atmosphere marked an evening that turned into a truly memorable one for thousands of Guadalajara residents.

From early on, long lines of fans—mostly young, many of them dressed in norteño-style hats and boots—surrounded the Telmex Auditorium. Expectations were high, and Nodal did not disappoint. Although the singer appeared on stage almost half an hour late, he started off strong with three hits that unleashed passionate screams from the audience: "No te cuentaron mal," "AYAYAY!" and "Se me olvidó." Nodal didn't rest; he immediately launched into "Ya pedo quién sabe," "El amigo," and "Kbron y medio." The Telmex Auditorium was a roar of applause, cheers, and warmth.

"Jalisco, you don't know how much I've missed you since I was here last year. I've missed you so much," Nodal assured, smiling at the audience. "Thank you for joining us tonight. I must say that you look very pretty, very handsome. Very outlaws, very outlaws. I know that when it comes to Guadalajara, it's obviously the coolest crowd . I love you, my beautiful little Guadalajara eyes . We came to have a good time, to sing, to dance, to drink, to cry. Tonight is for you, Guadalajara."

A concert full of partying and drinks

With impeccable production, synchronized lighting, and a great musical ensemble that never stopped playing strong, Christian Nodal offered a show full of emotion and charisma. The Sonoran singer demonstrated why he is one of the greatest exponents of contemporary regional Mexican music ; he interacted with all the fans who approached him on stage, receiving one of the classic Dr. Simi songs from an incredulous young woman and throwing their hats to the audience . The audience, composed mostly of young adults and couples, gave their all from the first chord. There was no shortage of massive choruses, tears with the most romantic songs, or screams of emotion at each pause of the artist's performance. The Telmex Auditorium became a northern party, where music served as the perfect link between generations.

In addition to performing his greatest hits, Nodal brought the people of Guadalajara several songs from his latest album, "¿Quién + como yo?" (Who + Like Me?) , songs that, despite being new, were sung along to in their entirety. "Amé," "La mitad," and "Por el resto de tu vida" were also hits with the audience; in "Botella tras botella ," Nodal shared the stage with rapper Gera MX, a moment filled with emotion.

"We love Nodal," shared Estefanía López, 25. "He's the new face of regional Mexican music. A lot of young people like him. I don't know anyone who doesn't know a single one of his songs. I'm very excited to be here; it's the first time I'll see him," said the Guadalajara native. "This guy has a lot of charisma," said Esteban Alcalá, 32. "He's known how to stir things up. He's had a lot of controversy, but he's endearing. Nodal can't be missed at a party, a get-together, a get-together. It's not for nothing that he's so popular; I really like his music."

A night full of surprises

Nodal shared intimate moments with his audience, thanking Guadalajara for its affection and assuring them that the city holds a special place in his heart. "Pa' olvidarme de ella," "X Perro," and "Te fallé" were crowd favorites, although there wasn't a single song that wasn't sung. With "Probablemente," one of the night's highlights, the stage was covered in thousands of white ballots that flew like birds above the crowd's raised hands. Nodal sang his own version of Juan Gabriel's "Así fue ," a song that, of course, no one was left without singing.

Another big surprise of the concert was "Dime Cómo quieres ," a song for which the controversial Angela Aguilar, the singer's wife, appeared on stage. Her performance, however, was brief: Pepe Aguilar's daughter disappeared as soon as she arrived, without addressing the audience.

Every word of the singer's words was greeted with cheers and applause, strengthening the bond between the artist and his audience; Guadalajara demonstrated its love for Nodal, the people of Guadalajara gave their all, and the air was filled with energy and excitement.

Christian Nodal's concert in Guadalajara was much more than music: it was a celebration of emotions, youth, and regional culture that kept the entire audience on their feet. It was undoubtedly a date that will remain etched in the memory of the thousands of Guadalajara fans who left every spot empty in the Telmex Auditorium and poured their hearts into every verse Nodal sang.

Offers private toast

Nearly a hundred people gathered for a private toast that Christian Nodal offered before his concert at the Telmex Auditorium , among influencers , social media personalities and media outlets, including EL INFORMADOR . A toast to which the singer nevertheless appeared markedly late: almost three hours late . Nevertheless, even with Nodal's absence, those in attendance shared a festive mood. The meeting took place in one of the special rooms of the Telmex Auditorium, entirely illuminated with a reddish light, where a wide variety of drinks were offered, a bar with cheeses and cold cuts from which those present nibbled between conversations, and laughed between elevated tables adorned with rose petals and candles.

Alcohol was the incentive to ensure the nearly three-hour wait didn't turn into discomfort. However, there was some uncertainty. Nodal's appearance was brief but chaotic: escorted by a group of men who managed to control the crowd with difficulty, the singer took a few photographs with the audience and gave a brief speech.

"Guadalajara is my second home. Performing at the Telmex Auditorium is always special, and I'm sure tonight will be no exception. Thank you for the support; we have a full house. I hope you enjoy the dinner and the toast. Cheers," he said.

With time running out, Nodal left as soon as he arrived, resulting in the concert starting half an hour late, amid a rather rushed communal atmosphere. "He took too long; they told us a time, but he left a few minutes before the concert," said Romina Flores, who arrived more than four hours early. "He didn't even last ten minutes with the crowd," Samuel Becerra laughed. "There could have been better organization."
