Metepec exhibition canceled due to threats from criminal groups

The company responsible for the event reported that Metepec 2021 has been canceled to protect the “safety and safety” of its assistants and workers. This is due to the threats made against the artists and the attack on La Adictiva on Saturday.

In a statement, Diamond – owned by Mario Garcia and responsible for organizing the exhibition – stated that “we have decided to terminate the event called Feria Espacio Metepec 2021”.

“We care about the integrity and safety of everyone: attendees, the press, artists, staff and workers who worked with us on this event.”

“We thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see you again soon and show you that we are a committed and responsible company in their work. The Entertainment Center (Palenco) artists canceled.”

The company stated that ticket money will be returned starting November 15 at the show’s box office.

As part of the exhibition activities, singers Christian Nodal, Joleon Alvarez and Pancho Barazza will sing. In addition to the bands La Arrolladora, Los Plebes del Rancho, La Sonora Dinamita, Cuisillos, Pequeños Musical and Matute.

The cancellation occurs after banners appeared in Metepec where alleged members of the Michoacán family’s criminal group warned artists not to appear at the exhibition, due to actions taken by businessman García

Despite the warning, on Friday, November 5, La Adictiva appeared on the show. The gang’s truck was hit by a bullet on Saturday morning after its participation ended.
