Arcángel Announces 14-Date “Just In Time Tour” of North America

Posted on April 11, 2023 by Tom Castaneda

Arcángel is making time for his fans…

The 37-year-old Dominican American Latin trap star will hit the road this summer for his Just In Time Tour.

The 14-date stint, produced by Live Nation, will kick off on August 26 at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago area, making stops across the U.S. in Los Angeles, New York, Miami and more before wrapping up in Orlando at Amway Center on October 1.

The cross-country tour is preceded by a new album Sr. Santos, which he released late last year, and seven back-to-back nights at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico in February, a hard-hitting collaboration with Bizarrap (“BZRP Music Sessions #54”) that he unleashed in March and has nearly 50 million views on YouTube (so far).

Sr. Santos scored Arcangel his sixth top 10 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart when it debuted at No. 3 in December. The set, which includes collaborations with Bad Bunny, Young Miko and Myke Towers, among others, is a tribute to his late brother Justin Santos who died at 21-years-old in 2021.

“Life surprised us with the death of [my brother] so we canceled everything,” Arcángel previously told Billboard Español. “I built up courage and said, ‘since he loved these songs so much, let’s finish it and make and album that will be dedicated to him.’”

In 2021, Arcángel released Los Favoritos 2.5 — a follow up to Los Favoritos 2 from 2020 — which peaked at No. 15 on the Top Latin Albums chart and No. 11 on the Latin Rhythm Albums.

Tickets for his Just In Time Tour will go on sale April 13 at 10:00 a.m.

Here’s the complete list of dates:

Wisin & Yandel Break Own Record by Selling Out Nine Concerts at The Coliseo de Puerto Rico

Posted on March 19, 2022 by Tom Castaneda

Wisin & Yandel are on Cloud Nine…

The Puerto Rican reggaeton duo has broken their own record after selling out nine concerts at The Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot, which will take place in December as part of their 2022 La Ultima Mision Tour.

According to figures provided to Billboard by event promoter Paco Lopez, the reggaeton duo sold out nine dates in 24 hours, resulting in 864,000 ticket sales and a $5 million gross. A tenth date was announced Saturday morning (March 19).

With this feat, the “Recordar” artists officially break the very record that they achieved in 2018 with eight sold-out Choliseo shows, part of their Como Antes Tour.

“We are more than grateful and excited with the reaction of our dear people in Puerto Rico, and we are more than ready to leave everything on stage,” the duo expressed in a statement. “We always carry the name of Puerto Rico high, and that will continue to be part of our history.”

The new additions come four days after both artists announced dates for their 2022 La Ultima Mision trek presented by Live Nation. The tour, kicking off September 30 at the FTX Arena in Miami, marks the duo’s last run together.

“Our career as a duo has been blessed and successful,” Wisin previously told Billboard. “We can’t predict the future but we’re very responsible for the brand and that’s what we want to do in this tour. We want our fans to remember the 2000s hits. More than a goodbye, it’s trajectory.”

In Puerto Rico, La Ultima Mision will kick off on December 1, followed by nine other shows until December 22.

Ricardo Arjona is ready to hit the road…

Mere months after his “Hecho a la Antigua” livestream concert from the historic city of Antigua in his native Guatemala, and with 30-plus musicians and more than 5,000 candles, the 57-year-old Guatemalan singer-songwriter has announced his return to touring.

Named after his recent album Blanco y Negro, recorded at the emblematic Abbey Road studios in London, Arjona will kick off his 25-date North America tour on March 24 at the Kiva Auditorium in Albuquerque.

He will then make pit stops Texas, California, Florida, and New York, to name a few.

Arjona will wrap up his tour, presented by Loud and Live, on June 11 at the emblematic Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan.

We are beyond proud to be spotlighting his talents in the Blanco y Negro tour next year across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada.”

The 29-year-old Colombian singer and songwriter will serve as the opening act for Karol G, as she hits the road for her first-ever U.S. headlining Bichota Tour, named after her unapologetic and empowering single.

“I was looking for an artist that I listen to a lot and that the exposure of my tour can also be a plus in their career,” Karol, who’s making the rounds with her single “Sejodioto,” tells Billboard in a statement. “Besides, I love the fact that he’s from my country and my city, Medellin! I want to show the world where we come from. I’m very grateful for Feid and his team for joining this wonderful experience that will start soon.”

Feid, a Latin Grammy-nominated artist, is currently making the rounds with his fourth studio album Inter Shibuya – La Mafia. He’s known for penning hits for J Balvin and collaborating with countless artists, including Maluma and Sech.

“For a lot of people, I’m still a new artist and I want to find my space in reggaeton,” he previously told Billboard. “I don’t try to be like any other artist. I feel that I have a certain flow that characterizes my music.”

Now, Feid will take his unique flow and edgy reggaeton on the monthlong Bichota tour, kicking off on October 20 in Denver’s Mission Ballroom with pit stops in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, and Miami before wrapping up on November 27 in San Juan’s Coliseo de Puerto Rico.

“For me, it is going to be a huge door that is going to open. Ever since I began making music, for me, it is a dream to be able to tour in the USA and that Karol has given me the opportunity to accompany her by opening the shows is super important,” Feid tells Billboard. “I am very grateful to her and her entire team for the great opportunity they are giving me. We are preparing a very special show for this occasion and we are already dreaming of our own tour.”

Bichota Tour — where Karol will perform hits off of her most recent album, KG0516 – is produced by AEG Presents, and booked by UTA.

Posted on December 9, 2020 by Tom Castaneda

Daddy Yankee’s celebrating his history-making run at el Coliseo de Puerto Rico that’s sure to get you to dame más gasolina…

A year after making history at the San Juan, Puerto Rico venue with a streak of 12 sold-out shows, the 43-year-old Puerto Rican rap superstar has gifted fans with DY2K20, a three-part special of his Con Calma Pal’ Choli concerts.

The YouTube concert special, which encourages fans to make donations to Feeding America, kicked off last Friday, December 4, with a 50-minute first part, where Yankee sang some of his biggest hits, including “Rompe,” “Lo Que Paso, Paso,” “Shaky Shaky,” “Machucando,” “Mayor Que Yo” and many more.

Showcasing the epic concerts that took place in December 2019 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, the second part will premiere on December 14 and the final part on December 21 on the artist’s official YouTube page.

“This year has been difficult for all of us and what better way to start the Christmas season, if not by remembering and celebrating the anniversary of one of my greatest achievements as an artist and I hope it fills you all with great joy,” the reggaeton superstar said in a press statement.

“Con Calma Pal’ Choli,” produced by Yankee’s longtime manager Rafael Pina, marked Yankee’s first show in 12 years at the prolific concert venue. Selling more than 170,000 tickets in a month, Yankee also set the record as the artist with the most shows at the venue, surpassing Wisin & Yandel, who in 2018 performed eight shows.
