Kendrick Lamar was previously scheduled to headline Tecate Pa’l Norte on Friday (March 29), but ended up canceling the show last minute. The announcement arrived only hours before he was expected to hit the stage. The music festival takes place annually at the Parque Fundidora in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico. Organizers shared the unfortunate news in an official statement.
“For unforeseen circumstances due to logistical issues out of Tecate Pal Norte’s organization — we’re sorry to announce that Kendrick Lamar won’t be able to perform tonight at the festival,” the statement reads. Kendrick was scheduled to perform after Peso Pluma, who extended his show in an attempt to make up for the rapper’s absence. “We appreciate Peso Pluma for extending his showtime. Deorro will be closing Tecate Light Stage. The programmed shows of the Festival will run as planned,” the festival also told attendees.

Tecate Pa’l Norte Announces Kendrick Lamar’s Cancellation
As expected, festivalgoers were pretty disappointed that Kendrick didn’t perform. The comments section of a Reddit post about the cancelation is flooded with fans demanding an explanation, which he’s yet to provide aside from a repost of the festival’s announcement on his Instagram Story. “Explain yourself kdot,” one user urges, with another saying they “hate when this happens.” Several commenters are also speculating about what could have caused the last-minute cancelation. While some think pay might have been the problem, others joke that his recent Drake diss on “Like That” with Future and Metro Boomin left him afraid to show his face.
Either way, supporters want answers, and it remains to be seen whether or not they’ll get them. What do you think of Kendrick Lamar canceling his Tecate Pa’l Norte set at the last minute?
