The Warning’s Triumphant Return to Monterrey: A Powerful Tour Finale of Rock, Heritage, and Heartfelt Energy

The Warning concludes their sold-out Mexican tour with an emotional homecoming performance at Monterrey’s Auditorio Citibanamex. Witness the Villarreal sisters’ triumphal return.

From Garage to Glory: The Warning’s Emotional Homecoming Rocks Monterey

On February 22, 2025, The Warning returned home after completing their successful Mexican leg of the Keep Me Fed Tour. Monterrey’s Auditorio Citibanamex erupted as sisters Dany, Pau, and Ale Villarreal transformed their hometown stage into an emotional rock extravaganza that went beyond the normal concert experience. For the 8,000-plus fans who packed the venue, this wasn’t just another event; it was the culmination of an astonishing circle—a band that began practicing in a Monterrey garage and is now commanding arenas across the world, returning as conquering heroines to the city that created them.

Following unprecedented sold-out performances in Mexico City and Guadalajara, the Monterrey finale had a palpable weight of passion from the time the opening notes rang out from the speakers.

The Most Special Show: When Sisters Return as Rock Stars.

There is something unquestionably wonderful about a hometown show. Monterrey is more than just a tour stop for The Warning; it’s where three sisters discovered their passion of music, started their band in 2013, and dreamed of playing at the same venue they currently headline.

“This is where our souls learned to speak through music,” Dany addressed the audience early in the set, her voice brimming with emotion rarely heard in her commanding stage presence. The audience’s cries of “¡Monterrey te ama!” (“Monterrey loves you!”) caused waves of sound that visibly touched the sisters.

Even before the first note, there was a clear link between the band and the city. Outside Auditorio Citibanamex, fans told anecdotes about hearing The Warning at small local venues years ago, wearing antique merch from their early days, and pointing out places from the band’s history to out-of-town guests. On Reddit, a fan wrote: “There’s something about seeing them where it all began that makes everything they’ve accomplished feel personal to us all.”

Holly Wars once again provided a powerful opening set, but the excitement for the hometown heroines was palpable. When the lights darkened and the recognizable silhouettes of Dany, Pau, and Ale came through the smoke, Monterrey yelled with communal delight, as if it were a city celebrating its daughters.

A Night of Pure Energy and Emotion: Monterrey’s Rock Communion

From the powerful opening chords of “SIX FEET DEEP,” it was evident that this wasn’t just another tour stop. The Warning performed with an intensity that appeared to emanate directly from their hometown soil. The audience’s reaction was immediate and overwhelming—a seismic wave of energy that turned Auditorio Citibanamex into something more like a rock revival than a concert.

Mosh pits formed spontaneously during stronger tracks like “CHOKE” and “SHARKS,” whereas entire areas moved as one undivided body during “EVOLVE.” The floor trembled beneath thousands of jumping fans as Pau’s booming drumming propelled each song with almost supernatural force. When Dany began her lengthy guitar solo midway through the set—a 5-minute masterclass in technical brilliance and emotional expression—the Monterrey audience went silent before erupting in applause.

“I’ve seen them in CDMX and the United States, but nothing compares to the raw emotion in this room tonight,” commented one fan on Bandsintown. “You could literally feel the love flowing between the stage and crowd.”

The production brought the experience to new heights. During “DUST TO DUST,” cutting-edge laser displays transformed the stage into ethereal landscapes, while towering screens captured every element of the sisters’ performances. During “MONEY,” Ale took the stage for a spotlight moment, leading a crowd-wide chorus that echoed so strongly throughout the auditorium that spectators described feeling the song physically move through them.

Beyond the technical spectacle, the night was distinguished by spontaneous, unscripted moments of connection. When Dany’s voice broke with emotion during “MARTIRIO,” the audience raised her up with their voices. When Pau dedicated “MARTIRIO” to their parents, who watched proudly from the sidelines, the audience erupted in gratitude for the family that helped three young ladies with rock star dreams.

Setlist and Performance Highlights: A Hometown Showcase.

The Warning’s Monterrey setlist was similar to their prior Mexican gigs, but each song took on new significance in the setting of their local performance. The band established the proper balance between pieces from their most recent album “KEEP ME FED” and older fan favorites, resulting in a narrative arc that told their evolutionary tale.

The opening thunder of “SIX FEET DEEP” established an immediate sense of force and precision. Pau’s first drum salvo, delivered with ferocity that seemed to reflect years of hometown pride, set the tone for the rest of the night. As the set went through “MONEY,” “SURVIVE,” and “CONSUME,” the sisters walked across the stage with the ease of artists performing on familiar territory.

A standout moment occurred midway through the show, when the production stripped back for an intimate portion. Dany took the stage with only her PRS guitar for what started out as a solo introduction to “AUTOMATIC SUN” (nicknamed “Solecito” by Mexican fans) but turned into an extended improvisational session. For nearly five minutes, her fingers darted across the fretboard, switching between beautiful melodies and scorching technical passages. The hometown audience, many of whom had followed her artistic journey since the beginning, responded with reverent stillness, followed by loud applause.

When Ale hit the stage for “MONEY,” the Monterrey audience responded with the night’s loudest sing-along. The youngest Villarreal sister smiled visibly as hundreds of voices echoed her lines. The event exemplified her transformation from the bashful bassist of their early years to a dominant presence on her own.

Perhaps the night’s most moving moment came when Pau addressed the audience before “MARTIRIO.” Speaking in rapid-fire Monterrey-accented Spanish, she dedicated the song to their parents, who were watching from the sidelines. “Everything we are began in a Monterrey garage because our parents believed three little girls could rock,” she stated, her voice full of emotion. “This one’s for the first fans we ever had.” The cameras focused on their visibly moved parents as the band delivered one of the night’s most emotionally wrenching performances.

Closing With Gratitude: The Circle Completes.

As the main set ended and the sisters returned for their encore, the emotional weight of the moment seemed to settle on them. Standing in front of a hometown crowd that had just witnessed their transformation from local prospects to international rock stars, The Warning took a moment to process the importance.

“Monterrey is where our rock souls were born,” Dany told the audience, her voice full of courage and vulnerability. “Every dream we’ve sought started right here on these streets. “To return after selling out Auditorio Nacional and see you all here tonight…there are no words.” The audience replied with a wall of sound, which appeared to literally move the sisters on stage.

When Ale took to the microphone, tears running down her cheeks, the audience fell silent. “We were simply three girls with enormous aspirations in a garage,” she explained, “but Monterrey, you believed in us first. Everything that came after—every stage, every country—began with your faith in our music. Her words chronicled a band’s full circle journey, from conquering Mexico’s most prominent venues to discovering their most meaningful connection back where it all began.

The numbers from their Mexican tour leg were impressive: five sold-out arenas, including an unprecedented three nights at Mexico City’s 10,000-capacity Auditorio Nacional. However, figures appeared insufficient to represent the cultural influence of three young women from Monterrey who are changing expectations for Mexican rock on the global stage.

As the concluding notes of “AUTOMATIC SUN” boomed through Auditorio Citibanamex and confetti fell, The Warning took center stage, three sisters closing a chapter while standing on the ground that first fostered their aspirations.

What Is Next: From Monterrey to the World

While the Monterrey event marked the end of their Mexican tour, The Warning’s “KEEP ME FED” trip is only getting started around the world. The band will perform at São Paulo’s Allianz Parque in South America, followed by festivals in Europe and the United Kingdom.

According to industry insiders, a full world tour for 2026 is being planned, with more nations and grander venues than ever before. Meanwhile, a recent Universal Music press release has fueled speculation regarding a live CD recorded during the Monterrey performance—a fitting tribute to their homecoming success.

Fans who saw the Monterrey finale saw it as both a completion and a new beginning. One concertgoer wrote, “Tonight was more than just witnessing a wonderful band in their hometown. It was seeing three Monterrey girls demonstrate to the world that rock’s future had a Mexican accent.

As The Warning’s international profile grows, their return to Monterrey serves as a strong reminder of where this amazing adventure began—and a guarantee that no matter how far they travel, Dany, Pau, and Ale Villarreal will keep the spirit of their city with them.
