Jennifer Lopez Reveals European “Up All Night Tour” Dates

Posted on June 30, 2025 by Tom Castaneda

Jennifer Lopez is ready to pull some all-nighters this summer…

The 55-year-old Puerto Rican superstar has announced plans to take her Up All Night Tour to Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia this summer, writing on social media, “Are you ready for UP ALL NIGHT #JLoLiveIn2025?! I can’t wait to see you this summer ✨🎤🎶 It’s almost time…”

Lopez posted the full routing for the Euro swing, her first road show in five years, which is slated to kick off on July 8 in Vigo, Spain, at Parque Tafisa, and includes six more stops in the country before moving on to Hungary on July 20, followed by shows in Italy, Turkey, Poland and Romania.

The tour will then move on to the Middle East with gigs in the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, before hitting Kazakhstan, Armenia, Turkey and Uzbekistan, wrapping up on August 10 at the Central Stadium in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Last week, Lopez posted rehearsal footage with choreographer Derek Hough, following on the heels of a June 20 photo dump of photos from her intense prep for the tour.

Lopez has not mounted a proper tour since 2019’s It’s My Party global outing; she announced a North American tour in support of her 2024 This is Me… Now album only to cancel it less than a month before launch in order to take time off “to be with her children, family and close friends.”

Lopez is also gearing up for a return to the big screen on October 10 when she stars in director Bill Condon’s adaptation of the 1993 Broadway play Kiss of the Spider Woman.

JLo stars as Ingrid Luna in the film, in which two prisoners (Diego Luna and Tonatiuh) cook up song-and-dance routines based on the legendary actress’ roles while stuck in a prison cell during the waning days of Argentina’s Dirty War, which ravaged the nation from 1974 until 1983.

Here’s the list of Lopez’s summer 2025 European shows:

Diego Luna to Star Opposite Jennifer Lopez in Film Adaptation of Broadway Musical “Kiss of the Spider Woman”

Posted on April 9, 2024 by Tom Castaneda

Diego Luna is spinning a new web…

The 44-year-old Mexican actor, director and producer will star opposite Jennifer Lopez in Kiss of the Spider Woman, the feature adaptation of the 1993 Broadway musical based on Manuel Puig’s landmark 1976 novel.

Luna will portray Valentin Arregui in the musical film.

Meanwhile, Tonatiuh will star in the adaptation as Luis Molina.

They join Lopez, who was previously announced in the titular role.

The show, which won seven Tony Awards, was written by Terrence McNally with a score by composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb. The film is scripted and directed by Oscar winner Bill Condon, with Barry Josephson, Tom Kirdahy and Greg Yolen producing alongside Ben Affleck and Matt Damon for Artists Equity, which has secured independent financing for the film.

Michael Joe, Dani Bernfeld and Kevin Halloran will executive produce for Artists Equity alongside Condon on behalf of 1000 Eyes; Lopez and Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas for Nuyorican Productions.

The musical is set in an Argentinian prison in 1981, against the backdrop of what is historically referred to as the Guerra Sucia (“Dirty War”) waged by the military dictatorship. Molina is a department store window dresser serving an eight-year sentence after being entrapped by police for allegedly corrupting a minor. To escape the horrors of imprisonment, he imagines a movie starring classic silver screen diva Ingrid Luna (Lopez) as both fashion editor Aurora and the Spider Woman, who kills her prey with a kiss. Molina’s life is upended when forced to share a cell with Marxist revolutionary Valentin, with whom an unlikely bond is formed.

Luna most recently starred in Disney+ series Andor, which earned him some of the best reviews of his career, as well as Golden Globe and Emmy recognition. He recently wrapped production on Season 2.

Tonatiuh can be seen next in the Netflix thriller Carry On; other credits include the TV series Vida.

Yul Vazquez to Appear on ABC’s Latinx Family Drama “Promised Land”

Posted on January 10, 2022 by Tom Castaneda

Yul Vazquez is promised some upcoming screen time on television…

The 56-year-old Cuban actor and musician has joined the cast of ABC’s upcoming Latinx family drama Promised Land, starring John Ortiz and Christina Ochoa.

Vazquez joins a roster of new cast additions that includes Julio Macias, Ariana Guerra, Kerri Medders, Tom Amandes, Natalia del Riego and Miguel Angel Garcia in heavily recurring roles.

Created and written by Matt Lopez and directed by Michael Cuesta, Promised Land is an epic, generation-spanning drama about two Latinx families vying for wealth and power in California’s Sonoma Valley.

In addition to Ortiz and Ochoa, cast also includes Bellamy Young, Cecilia Suárez, Augusto Aguilera, Mariel Molino, Tonatiuh, Andres Velez, Katya Martín and Rolando Chusan.

Vazquez plays Father Ramos. A Catholic priest, Father Ramos has compassion and good humor tinged with a certain world-weariness. Apparently just another man of God, he knows quite a few secrets about the Sandoval family.

Garcia portrays Junior, the youngest child of the Sandoval family, and the most erratic. His siblings think he can be trusted with little or nothing, but his father Joe, the family patriarch, still holds out hope and a special affection for his troubled son.

Amandes is O.M. Honeycroft. An intimidating, all-powerful presence, he’s a successful businessman who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty — after all, it’s the soil and its fruit that made him rich.

Guerra plays Rosa. Fueled by dreams of becoming a nurse in her new home of California, she doesn’t give up on her dreams even as her circumstances become increasingly grim.

Medders plays Young Margaret, the ambitious, beautiful daughter of O.M. Honeycroft, the wealthy owner of the Honeycroft Estate.

Del Riego portrays Daniela, a new employee at the home of the Sandoval family, and an undocumented immigrant.

Macias plays Javier, the newly hired General Manager at the Heritage House Vineyard, son of the vineyard’s now-retired foreman.

ABC Signature, a part of Disney Television Studios, is the studio.
