Throughout the World Cup 2026, music venues will undoubtedly see reduced numbers through their doors in the 16 cities hosting this year’s games. As football fans head to the stadiums, we are taking the opportunity to shine a light on artists from each of the host cities’ local music scenes.
With matches scheduled across the USA, Mexico and Canada – starting with Mexico v South Africa on 11th June in Mexico City – there is no small territory to cover here. But from Vancouver to Dallas to Guadalajara, we’ve got you covered, with our hand-picked playlist of local favourites that are sure to sound great on any decent music system.
