RBD, or Rebelde, was a Mexican band formed in 2004 from the soap opera of the same name aired by the Televisa network. With a pop-rock style, RBD achieved great success in Latin America and other countries, selling millions of records and touring worldwide. The group broke up in 2009.

Recently, they announced their return to the stage, already breaking several records worldwide. With a tour passing through several countries, they sold over 800,000 tickets in less than three hours, 450,000 in Brazil alone.

In addition, with the return of the songs on digital platforms, RBD broke a record on Spotify in less than 24 hours with the release of the album, “Ser o Parecer.” The album surpassed the Korean group, BTS, and became the most-listened-to album on the first day of release in the platform’s history.
