The Warning commanded the stage at Pier 17 in NYC this past Thursday. The three-sister rock band from Monterrey, Mexico, opened their first headline show of 2026 with “MORE” which certainly left the crowd wanting MORE. Each member brought their own unique energy and presence to the stage in a way that perfectly complemented each other. It is very rare, but also so inspiring to see this chemistry they have between them. It makes you believe they weren’t put on this planet to do anything but create and share music with the world.
They captivated the crowd throughout the entire set, playing their hits from previous albums ERROR and Keep Me Fed. Their crowd and fan base ranged from young girls, who couldn’t have been much older than 10 years old, all the way to fans in their 60’s. The trio also excitingly performed new pieces which will be on their upcoming album Everything’s Falling, set to be released on August 28th, 2026. These new songs offer catchy hooks that will be stuck in your head. I haven’t been able to stop singing along to the breakdown/bridge section of “Kerosene” since seeing them play it at this show. They hold a strong identity in the way they express themselves musically and stylistically. There is no mistaking them for anyone else. You KNOW when you’re listening to The Warning.
A beautiful moment during the show was at the end of “MARTIRIO.” The crowd was so immersed in the music, they continued singing the melody (completely unprovoked by the band) after the song ended. The band also honors and celebrates their home country by including songs written in Spanish, “MARTIRIO” and recently released “Ego” being two of them. Since I personally do not speak Spanish, I wasn’t able to understand the song literally, but I could still understand and know what they were feeling while performing these songs. The emotion and energy that were transferred through their performance are something I don’t get to experience very often. As a musician myself, I can confidently say that this is a special gift to have. It also proves that music is not just notes being played or just entertainment, but it is also a universal language that everyone can understand.
They rocked the stage looking as glam as ever. Paulina’s fiery, bright red hair complemented her intensity behind the kit. Dany was giving an ultra–cool-girl look with her long baggy shorts and boxing-style boots. Alejandra styled patchwork jeans and fingerless gloves for a look with a vintage feel. The location of this show just made it that much more special as well. Pier 17 provides an absolutely iconic NYC backdrop. The Brooklyn Bridge glowed right behind the stage, while in the other direction, the Statue of Liberty stood tall.
After the show, I had the opportunity to meet the girls and say hi. Even though they are badass musicians who exude confidence, they were gracious and appreciative of their supportive fan base. They truly deserve all the success that has come their way, and their status as one of the best young bands out there. The headlining spot is where they belong, and hopefully we’ll get to see more headlining tours and shows from them as they enter this new album cycle!
