Update on 2026 U.S. Tours by Latin Artists

In 2025, Latin artists toured extensively across the United States, performing in stadiums, arenas, and theaters, achieving remarkable box office results while giving fans unforgettable live experiences. Shakira emerged as a standout with her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, earning the first-ever Billboard Global Touring Icon Award for her historic run produced by Live Nation. The initial 64 shows of her 82-date tour grossed $327.4 million and sold 2.5 million tickets, making it the highest-grossing Latin tour by a female artist and the second-highest overall, only behind Luis Miguel's 2023-24 tour, which grossed $409.5 million.

Rauw Alejandro also made a significant impact with his Broadway-inspired Cosa Nuestra Tour. Across spring and summer performances in North America and Europe, the tour brought in $91.7 million, marking it as the most profitable tour of his career.

While Latin music's touring strength was evident, 2025 also posed challenges, particularly for regional Mexican performers affected by changing U.S. immigration policies. Julin lvarez faced a revoked visa during his anticipated return, while Grupo Firme, Los Alegres del Barranco, and other artists experienced visa complications that led to canceled shows and festival dates.
