A message signed “I.A.G.” is warning people in Culiacán not to buy tickets or attend the Palenque. I received the message from a contact close to Los Chapitos’ leadership.
The Palenque is the city’s annual concert series at the livestock-fair grounds, with different singers and bands performing on different nights. It was last held in 2023. This year’s concerts are scheduled for November 12–29, with tickets going on sale November 2.
The message claims La Mayiza is organizing the event and could cancel it after collecting ticket money, keeping the cash to finance the war. If the concerts go ahead, it alleges the faction could attack the crowd and blame Los Chapitos.
It also accuses the government of supporting La Mayiza and singles out Arley Pérez and Panter Bélico, both scheduled to perform November 29. The accusations in the message have not been independently verified.
“For everyone’s sake, don’t go buying tickets, much less attend,” the message reads in translation.
Attackers shot at and burned the ticket offices on November 7, 2024. Threatening banners appeared days later. The 2024 and 2025 concert programs were canceled amid insecurity, although the wider livestock fair returned in 2025 without the Palenque.
New organizer Fiesta MX Entertainment says it is separate from the company behind the 2024 event. Organizers have announced four security checkpoints for concertgoers.

As you can see, the Palenque is going to have 100 percent pigs like Arley Pérez and El Panther Jotobélico. The Mayatiza faction is organizing the Palenque so that, in the end, when they cancel it, they can keep the cash and get resources to keep the war going. Or, in any case, if it does go ahead, because the government is backing the pigs 100 percent, then when one of the shows takes place, they’re going to attack the Palenque and blame the 🍕 faction. Same as always—you know how it goes.
The Mayatiza have two ways to win. One is money from selling tickets and then canceling at the end. Or, if the Palenque goes ahead, attacking the people attending the Palenque and blaming the Chapos. Those are the two plays, and the government still hasn’t canceled it. Don’t they realize—who in their right mind thinks Culiacán can hold a Palenque when Culiacán isn’t doing well, when it’s fractured? Bringing in the Palenque and going ahead with it will only bring more deaths of innocent people. For everyone’s sake, don’t go buying tickets, much less attend. The Mayofocos want more innocent deaths to heat up the city.
Sincerely, I.A.G., for a better Culiacán. 🍕🦇

El palenque como pueden ver van a estar marranos 100% como arley perez y el panther jotobelico. La faccion de los mayatiza estan organizando el palenque para al final de cuenta cuando lo cancelen y se queden con la feria y agarrar recurso para seguir la guerra o en todos de los casos si se llega a realizar porque gobierno esta apoyando a los marranos 100% pa eso cuando se realize una fecha van a atentar contra el palenque y echarle la culpa a la facción de la🍕 al modo ya se la saben.
La mayatiza tiene dos formas de ganar una es dinero con la venta de boletos y al final cancelar o si se lleva el palenque atentar contra los asistentes del palenque y culpar alos chapos. Son dos tiradas y es hora que gobierno no cancela y no de dan cuenta que en que cabeza cabe que culiacan puede tener palenque si culiacan no esta vien esta fracturado y traer y llevar acabo el palenque solo traerá mas muertes inocentes. Por el vien de todos no vallan a comprar boletos y menos asistir. Los mayofocos quieren mas muertes inocentes para calentar la ciudad.
Atentamente: I.A.G por un culiacan mejor.🍕🦇
