CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso Ignite Sutro Stage at Outside Lands
On a sun-drenched afternoon at Outside Lands in San Francisco, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso turned the Sutro stage into an unstoppable celebration of Latin-inspired energy. Known for making the rounds at festivals across the country, the duo brought every bit of their touring experience to this performance, delivering a set that was as electrifying as it was joyous.
From the moment they hit the stage, their chemistry was palpable. CA7RIEL and Paco Amoroso exuded charisma, commanding attention with every movement while the crowd sang back every word, creating an almost festival-wide singalong. Their high-energy tracks blended infectious beats with sharp hooks, layered horn arrangements, and a rhythmic drive that left no one standing still. It was impossible not to move to the groove — whether you were front and center or soaking it all in from the back.
The stage design complemented the music beautifully. Sleek visuals and colorful lighting added a sense of drama without ever overshadowing the musicians, while the horn section punctuated every chorus with flourishes that elevated the performance into something larger than life. Each song was delivered with precision and passion, and it was clear that this was a band in their element, feeding off the energy of the crowd as much as the crowd fed off theirs.
Highlights came from moments when the horns soared and CA7RIEL’s vocals intertwined with Paco Amoroso’s, creating harmonies that were both playful and powerful. Fans swayed, danced, and sang along, turning the Sutro stage into a communal experience — a living testament to the unifying power of music. Their set wasn’t just a performance; it was a celebration of rhythm, culture, and joy that left the audience buzzing long after the final notes faded.
CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso proved yet again why they’re becoming festival mainstays. Their combination of talent, stage presence, and infectious energy made the Sutro stage one of the standout moments of Outside Lands 2025 — a performance that demanded both attention and applause, and one that festival-goers will remember well into the night.
