Ripplefest Mexico coming in hot with an inaugural lineup or this Dec. 6 and a bitchin’ three-eyed axolotl on the poster that puts me in mind of classic Simpsons with the triocular fish, but, you know, is a little more this-century. The Well will make their way south to Mexico City to headline the first Ripplefest Mexico, and they’ll be joined by long-running Chilean groovers Demonauta, who I got to see last year (review here) and could only recommend as an experience, as well as Vinnum Sabbathi, Demons My Friends, Saturno Grooves, Black Overdrive and King in Yellow, plus Lord Velvet from Colorado and Transit Method, also from Austin. Solid bill. Get there early. King in Yellow sound pretty cool.

I don’t know much about the Fuck Off Room, but I do enjoy a good bit of fucking off, so right on. You might recall the Doom City Fest that took place in Mexico City the last few years as well. It will be cool to see how both continue to grow.

Heavy rock festival Ripplefest México announce the full lineup for their first-ever edition taking place on December 6th, 2025 at Fuck Off Room in Mexico City. Tickets are on sale now!

Born from the success of Ripplefest Texas — the largest stoner and doom festival in the U.S., backed by legendary label Ripple Music — Ripplefest has expanded globally with celebrated editions in France (Nantes) and Germany. Now, México joins the movement, uniting local and international stoner rock and doom communities under one roof: Mexico City’s renowned FuckOff Room, located inside the popular Condesa neighborhood.

With a total of nine bands gracing the bill, Ripplefest México will showcase a powerful mix of established and emerging acts from the global heavy rock scene, delivering the raw energy and immersive experience that defines the Ripplefest brand.

About launching Ripplefest México, the promoters say: “We’re excited to embark on this new adventure to continue strengthening the Mexican stoner scene and bridge a connection with the US stoner community as well, by establishing a Mexican chapter to the largest stoner and doom festival in the United States, Ripplefest Texas. Ripplefest México will emulate the spirit and replicate the experience of all previous Ripplefests by presenting a lineup that is attractive and interesting to heavy music lovers in our city, and by being curated and organized by music lovers and musicians from our scene itself. We hope you can join us, and thank you in advance for your support. Everyone is invited.”
