Two days before their 32nd birthday (May 19), Sam Smith celebrated with their Mexican fans through an electrifying performance that made them one of the standout acts on the first day of Tecate Emblema. Despite the rain in Mexico City, the singer delivered an unforgettable show, coinciding with the International Day Against Homophobia.
Smith mentioned their upcoming birthday and encouraged the crowd to sing loudly, receiving enthusiastic cheers from the devoted audience. Before the festival, Smith hinted at the special nature of the night by posting a photo on social media of a fan holding a sign that read: “Sam, Mexico is your home.”
As a supporter of LGBTQ+ causes, Smith performed a setlist that included both new and classic hits, such as “How Do You Sleep?”, “I’m Not the Only One”, “Stay With Me”, “Like I Can”, “Diamonds”, “Good Thing” “Dancing With a Stranger”, “Gloria” and “Latch”, their popular cover of Disclosure’s song, which was one of the most eagerly awaited performances of the night.
