During her set, she picked up the guitar and joined her band as they performed her song "Problemas" off her recent album Lo Que No Te Dije, which was released back in May. She also performed her other hits like "Nuestra Cancion," "Inmadura" and more.
- The party continued with Luis Figueroa. He had all the fans on their feet as he and his live band performed songs like his 2022 hit "Vienes." He also delivered other tracks like "La Luz," "A Escondidas," and "Bandido" from his recent EP Voy a Ti.
