“I said, they NEVER take the country out me!” Beyoncé bellowed in the misty night sky on Thursday (May 22) — repeating a lyric from “Formation” for emphasis, and also presenting the main idea of her sprawling Cowboy Carter tour, which made its way to New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium for the first of a five-night […]
“You said you feel the love, right?” Kendrick Lamar asked SZA after performing their twinkling 2018 hit collab “All the Stars” during the first LA tour stop of their Grand National Tour at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium Wednesday night (May 21). “I think so,” she responded breathlessly. “You feel it?” “I definitely feel it.” The two […]
Alejandro Fernández couldn’t be prouder to carry on the family legacy through his children, including Camila Fernández, who is currently joining him on his De Rey a Rey tour across the United States.
The 27-year-old artist showcased great confidence and poise on Sunday (May 18) at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., where she performed songs from her repertoire like “Todo Todo,” “Pudimos Ser,” and “Se Cancela la Llorada,” earning a roaring ovation from the audience.
“Thank you for your applause,” said Vicente Fernandez’s granddaughter, elegantly dressed in a charro outfit. “Now I leave you with the new king of ranchera music who honors another king who was my grandfather, my father Alejandro Fernandez””

Also dressed as a charro, El Potrillo opened his set with his father’s classic “No Me Sé Rajar,” included in his tribute album De Rey a Rey (meaning From King to King).
“I want to tell you that I was born with two blessings: the first, being born in Mexico; the second, being born a Fernández,” expressed the superstar. “Let’s celebrate together the legacy of the great Charro de México the way he would have liked — singing his songs at the top of our lungs.”
The setlist included classics like “Lástima Que Seas Ajena,” “Estos Celos,” “El Rey,” “Volver, Volver,” “De Qué Manera Te Olvido,” “Por Tu Maldito Amor,” and more.
In a heartfelt moment, the father and daughter duo performed “Fue Un Placer Conocerte” and “Siempre Estoy Pensando en Ti,” paying tribute to Juan Gabriel and Rocío Dúrcal, who used to sing those songs together. The tender glances and undeniable connection between Alejandro and Camila, along with their beautiful vocal harmonies, deeply moved the fans, who applauded nonstop.
“I want you to know that in this family, there are at least three of us who will fight tooth and nail to keep Mexican music alive, and we carry it deeply in our hearts,” said Alejandro Fernández, also referring to his son Alex.
And while the show serves as a tribute to his father, some Alejandro’s biggest hits couldn’t be left out, including “Me Dediqué a Perderte,” “Si Tú Supieras,” “Caballero” and “Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti,” which was originally recorded with Christina Aguilera but performed during the concert with his daughter Camila.
The De Rey a Rey tour, which continues on May 23 in Salt Lake City, Utah, includes stops in Denver, Chicago, Miami, New York, El Paso, and Las Vegas (for Mexican Independence Day celebrations), before wrapping up on September 21 in San Diego, Calif.

Eslabon Armado will perform for the first time in Mexico this month, and Pedro Tovar, the group’s leader and main vocalist, couldn’t be happier.
“The last time I went to Mexico, I was six years old,” he tells Billboard Español. “When we started our first tour in 2020, my dream was always to go, but it hadn’t been possible, so I’m very excited.”
Making its debut in the country as part of the Vibras de Noche II Tour, the Californian band behind the smash hit song “Ella Baila Sola” (with Peso Pluma) will arrive at the Banamex Auditorium in Monterrey on May 16 for the first of three confirmed dates. The other two will be four months later, when the band returns to perform on Sept. 12 in Mexico City at the Pepsi Center WTC, and on Sept. 13 at the Telmex Auditorium in Guadalajara.
There’s also the possibility of adding more dates, in cities like Guanajuato and Tijuana. “I look at the stats on streaming platforms, and I realize that most of our fans are from Mexico,” Tovar says. “In the comments, they constantly ask us to perform in all the cities, so we’re going to make it happen for them.”
For its shows in Mexico, Eslabon Armado has prepared a special setlist, along with a lights design and visuals. They will also feature a guest performer, at least in the capital city: Macario Martínez, the young janitor who went viral on TikTok for a video promoting his song “Sueña Lindo.” The emerging Mexican folk singer has already collaborated with Eslabon on “Esa Noche,” included in the group’s latest album, Vibras de Noche II, which debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard Top Latin Albums and Regional Mexican Albums charts in March.

“I saw his story on TikTok, sent him a message on Instagram, and he replied,” Tovar recounts. “We had a video call and chatted for about an hour. I suggested a collaboration, and he immediately said yes, so I sent him the song ‘Esa Noche.’ He did his part, and it turned out to be a really good track.”
With new drums and electric guitars sounds complementing their regional Mexican style, Vibras de Noche II —a sequel to their No. 1 2020 album Vibras de Noche— is the first production the group has released independently under their own label, Eslabon Records, distributed by Interscope. Previously, they were signed to Del Records, which they joined in 2020 and with which they released No. 1 albums including Tu Veneno Mortal (2020) and Desvelado (2023), among others.
The band’s current tour, named after its latest album, began on March 7 and will keep them on the road through 2025.
