Will we get along? Will we be happy together? But when we got together and started playing again, we realized that we were still connected and that the magic remained intact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe band\u2019s musical hiatus ended in March with their <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/lists\/vive-latino-2025-day-two-recap-zoe-mon-laferte-kany-garcia\/zoe-comes-out-from-hiatus-to-shine\/\">performance at the Vive Latino<\/a> festival, where they delivered a show that was initially planned as their only one for the year. However, the turnout exceeded their expectations, confirming that not only had they kept their longtime fans captivated, but they had also gained a following among members of Generation Z. Young fans had discovered some of the band\u2019s older hits, some even posting their own covers on social media.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWe realized that, thanks to TikTok, there\u2019s a very engaged generation of 15 to 25-year-olds who are devouring Zo\u00e9\u2019s songs, regardless of the album,\u201d Guardiola says. \u201cThey\u2019re creating their own interpretations and messages that resonate with them deeply, and that\u2019s very meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe success of their Vive Latino performance led them to announce an initial show at the GNP Seguros Stadium in <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/t\/mexico\/\" id=\"auto-tag_mexico\" data-tag=\"mexico\">Mexico<\/a> City. When tickets sold out in a matter of minutes, additional dates were added, bringing the total to five shows. The concerts \u2014 scheduled for Sept. 27-28, Oct. 1-2, and Nov. 13 \u2014 made Zo\u00e9 the first Spanish-language rock band to achieve such a feat at the venue, which has a capacity of 65,000 people and has hosted megastars such as Shakira, Metallica, Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, and Coldplay. The band will also perform at the Pulso GNP Festival in Quer\u00e9taro on Oct. 25.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAnd the band\u2019s current streak of success goes beyond their five sold-out stadium shows. The quintet \u2014 which also includes bassist \u00c1ngel Mosqueda, keyboardist Jes\u00fas B\u00e1ez, and guitarist Sergio Acosta \u2014 has released two new singles in recent weeks, \u201cCampo de Fuerza\u201d and \u201cRexsexex,\u201d reaffirming their commitment to creating music together. Both tracks showcase a revitalized band with their signature blend of powerful guitars and mystical lyrics, a hallmark of their 30-year career.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"\/>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWe don\u2019t know exactly when we\u2019ll return with a new album and tour. For now, it\u2019s just these two tracks,\u201d Guardiola says. \u201cIn the case of \u2018Rexsexex,\u2019 we were excited about the idea of creating something new. Le\u00f3n [Larregui] came up with the title. The song didn\u2019t exist. We brought it to life and ended up recording two tracks while taking advantage of our time in the studio together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe drummer notes that it was thrilling to reunite with his bandmates to create music without the pressure of a formal project. \u201cWe\u2019ve never had the freedom to work on just one or two songs before. We always felt the pressure of finishing a complete album.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tCraig Silvey (known for his work with Arcade Fire and Arctic Monkeys), who had previously produced Zo\u00e9\u2019s albums <em>Aztl\u00e1n<\/em> (2018) and <em>Sonidos de Karm\u00e1tica Resonancia<\/em> (2021), was also behind the production of the two new songs. \u201cEverything has been surprisingly genuine,\u201d Larregui says. \u201cIt sounds like the early Zo\u00e9, but very fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tTheir new show will partly focus on their iconic 2006 album <em>Memo Rex Commander y el Coraz\u00f3n At\u00f3mico de la V\u00eda L\u00e1ctea<\/em>, which will reach its 20th anniversary next year. The LP includes some of the band\u2019s biggest hits, such as \u201cNo Me Destruyas,\u201d \u201cV\u00eda L\u00e1ctea,\u201d and \u201cPaula.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201c<em>Memo Rex<\/em> was an album that marked a before and after for the band,\u201d Larregui recalls. \u201cIt\u2019s the most emblematic record, full of hits. The audience received it so warmly, and that\u2019s when the \u2018Zo\u00e9mania\u2019 began.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWhile fans await news of a potential commemorative <em>Memo Rex<\/em> concert or a new album next year, Larregui is planning to release a solo LP, and Mosqueda and B\u00e1ez will continue working on their project Astronom\u00eda Interior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cIt was wonderful to work on new songs,\u201d Larregui says. \u201cIt was about rediscovery, awakening, and a revival for Zo\u00e9.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.billboard.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After nearly five years of not making music and almost three years of not performing together onstage due to focusing on personal projects, the members of the Mexican rock band Zo\u00e9 admit that they felt a fear of having lost their magic. \u201cYou feel very fragile,\u201d drummer Rodrigo Guardiola tells Billboard Espa\u00f1ol.
