Puebla York was in the building on Friday night (Aug. 7), braving a heavy thunderstorm to see Fuerza Regida close its first-ever U.S. stadium tour at New York’s Citi Field with a guest lineup that brought corridos bélicos and hip-hop into the same orbit — connecting the West Coast and East Coast with unusual ease.
The San Bernardino troupe’s finale featured Queens, N.Y., icon 50 Cent alongside G-Unit members Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda, as well as East Flatbush, Brooklyn’s Bobby Shmurda. Fenix Flexin, of L.A.’s Shoreline Mafia, also joined the lineup, performing his viral track “Rubberz.” Later, J Balvin joined the band for “La Canción,” with the Fuerza frontman taking Bad Bunny’s verses near the end of the concert.
50 Cent and G-Unit turned the performance into a New York hip-hop moment, running through hits like “What Up Gangsta,” “P.I.M.P.” and “I Get Money.” JOP joined them, rocking a bandana-style shirt, making the connection between the group’s corridos and the city’s rap lineage visible onstage. Just a short drive away in neighboring New Jersey, 50 Cent made another Friday night guest appearance during Chris Brown and Usher’s Raymond & Brown Tour stop at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford.

Later in his Citi Field show, Fuerza returned in a glittering white glove and a jacket that nodded to both Michael Jackson’s stagewear and Juan Gabriel’s matador-style glamour.
The guest appearances carried particular weight for Fuerza. “New York’s always been the hardest place for us,” JOP told Billboard days before the show. “It’s so global here,” he said, explaining why packing Citi Field represented a new kind of achievement for the band. After closing stadium dates across Texas, Los Angeles and other major U.S. markets, Fuerza had saved one of its biggest nights for the city it once considered the hardest to conquer.
The show had already established its futuristic frame. The opening featured The Matrix’s binary-code visuals — an early clue to the world of Fuerza’s next era — before JOP appeared in a Spider-Man-inspired reveal. It was a fitting New York entrance, especially following the July 31 release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
The night remained rooted in the five-member band. Samuel Jaimez’s requinto, Khrystian Ramos’ guitar, José “Pelón” García’s tuba and trumpet and Moisés López’s tololoche kept the show connected to the live instrumentation that carried Fuerza from clubs to baseball stadiums. The group moved through its deep catalog, including Billboard-charting hits like “TQM,” “Sabor Fresa,” “Bebe Dame,” “Harley Quinn” and “Marlboro Rojo.”

After nine stadium dates across the U.S., This Is Our Dream ended with Fuerza looking forward without abandoning its foundation — and with New York’s Mexican community showing that Puebla York has a place in the future of música mexicana.
The group will continue that conversation at Billboard Latin Music Week 2026, taking place Oct. 19-22 at Faena Forum Miami Beach, where the group is scheduled to headline a Superstar Q&A.

Hay diferentes formas de enfrentar la tragedia y el humor puede ser una salida útil para sobrellevar el dolor de una situación.
