The Echoes Festival celebrates its fourth edition on June 19, 2026 at Centro Cultural Universitario in Guadalajara, within the 2026 FIFA World Cup cultural program. This indie music festival brings together national and international bands at one of Jalisco's most important cultural venues.
Echoes positions itself as the cultural alternative to World Cup football frenzy: independent music, relaxed atmosphere, and a different experience for those seeking something beyond the matches. However, falling in the middle of the World Cup, the festival will also attract international fans wanting to discover the Mexican music scene.
Centro Cultural Universitario is located in the Belenes area of Zapopan, about 20 minutes from downtown Guadalajara. For attendees combining the festival with matches and Fan Fest, executive transport is the most comfortable way to move between all points of interest.

Combining Echoes with the Guadalajara World Cup

With hourly service, the driver takes you from the Fan Fest to the festival and from the festival to wherever you want to go next.
Post-Festival Night Transport
Music festivals end late and Echoes will be no exception. After the festival, transport options are significantly reduced:
- Taxis are scarce in the Belenes area after midnight - Uber/DiDi have long wait times and inflated fares - The venue parking can have 30-40 minute exit lines
Our night service: The driver waits at a pre-established point near the festival exit. No waits, no surge pricing, no worries. Direct transfer to the hotel or to the next stop of the night.
For groups of friends, the executive van (6-15 passengers) is perfect: everyone returns together, safe and comfortable. The cost per person is similar to an individual Uber.
