From its beginnings, CARDIEL has performed live in important venues of the local music scene in Mexico like Multiforo Alicia, Imperial Club, Caradura, Foro 246, and Bahía Bar. During the last years, the band has participated in various festivals such as the Festival Internacional Palafoxiano (2011) in Puebla, and the Monterreal International Longboard Fest (2013 and 2014) in Coahuila, and in many skateparks events across the country.

Furthermore, CARDIEL opened the show for Green Jelly at Pasagüero in Mexico City.
They were part of the Piel Concreto Tour (2011) where they visited several cities of Mexico to promote and spread the culture of the skateboarding through the documentary “Piel Concreto”. Up to this moment, the band has done 5 international tours, 3 in the United States (Vato Loco Tour 2010, Alligator Tour 2012 and Local Solo Tour 2014) where they had the opportunity to play in different cities of the East Coast and West Coast of USA. In February 2013, they went to Venezuela and later that summer they visited Costa Rica and Panama and did Pura Vida Tour.
CARDIEL means indulging yourself, to be persistent and to walk although they dictate that you cannot do it anymore.
