Luis Miguel took his spectacular 2023-24 world tour to a new level on Saturday (Nov. 30), on what was a historic night for the Mexican superstar during his debut at the GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City. It was the first of two consecutive nights at the venue, and it also marked the beginning of the end of the highest-grossing Latin tour of all time, according to Billboard Boxscore figures.

With all tickets sold out and an attendance of 65,000 people, as reported by the promoter Ocesa, it was one of the most massive concerts of the famous performer ever recorded in the country. The dubbed “Sol de México” is expected to repeat the feat on Sunday (Dec. 1).

The singer magnified the show he has been presenting on the tour — which began in the summer of 2023 at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires, Argentina — to match a venue as imposing as the GNP Seguros Stadium, with huge screens that allowed attendees to appreciate every detail of the show from any angle.

Known for his obsession with perfection in his productions, Luis Miguel’s concert also surprised attendees with the quality of the audio, which showcased his voice potently. Visibly pleased, the performer appeared on the impressive stage elevated by a platform, impeccably dressed in his classic black suit, white shirt, black tie, black patent leather shoes and black silk socks.

It was the beginning of an unforgettable and magical night for the star and his fans, who sang along to each of Luis Miguel’s songs throughout the performance — those that have catapulted him as one of the greatest Latin stars. Saturday’s repertoire was not much different from what he has presented at other shows on the tour, with pop hits, including “Será Que No Me Amas,” “Amor, Amor, Amor,” “Suave,” “Culpable o No,” “Hasta Que Me Olvides” and “Dame,” as well as a segment dedicated to boleros with songs like “Como Yo Te Amé,” “Solamente Una Vez,” “Somos Novios” and “Todo y Nada.”

One of the most celebrated moments came with the traditional mariachi segment and the special dedication to his beloved Mexico, with the classics “Guadalajara,” “La Bikina” and “La Media Vuelta.” With a pyrotechnics show and the legendary “Cucurrucucú Paloma” — a Mexican huapango-style song written by Tomás Méndez in 1954 — Luis Miguel ended his show with a big ovation from his loyal audience.

After Sunday night’s show at the GNP Seguros Stadium, the artist has two more performances in Mexico’s capital, at the Arena Ciudad de México, on Dec. 8 and 10. Both dates are the result of the rescheduling of his Oct. 23, 24 and 28, which Luis Miguel had postponed due to unspecified health problems.

Although the singer had chosen Mexico City to close a spectacular world tour that grossed $318.2 million and sold 2.2 million tickets in its first 146 concerts, as reported in September by Billboard Boxscore, this week he surprised his fans by announcing on his Instagram Stories that the tour will instead end on Dec. 17 in Buenos Aires, at the Campo Argentino de Polo.

Charli XCX is extending Brat summer into Brat spring. The singer announced a run of five 2025 U.S. arena dates on Friday (Nov. 22). The Charli XCX – Brat 2025 – Arena tour is slated to kick off on April 22 with a gig at the Moody Center in Austin, TX , followed by a stop at the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN and an April 28 show at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL.
The quick-hit run — her first solo U.S. arena tour — will wind down with a two-fer at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on April 30 and May 1.

Fans got buzzing about a possible large-scale tour earlier this week when billboards featuring the album’s signature lo-fi font and lime green color scheme that read “Chicago,” “Minneapolis” and “Brooklyn” in those cities; Charli used a similar scheme in October to tease her Brat remix album, Brat and It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat.

Charli and Troy Sivan criss-crossed the North America on their joint 22-city Sweat tour in September and October, hitting venues from Detroit to Toronto, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Nashville, Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, Dallas, Denver, Phoenix, L.A., San Diego, San Francisco and Portland before winding down in Seattle on Oct. 23.

After hosting and performing as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live last weekend the singer pulled off a surprise pop-up show in New York’s Times Square on Monday night.

The dates will come amidst a busy 2025 for the “365” singer, who is also co-executive producing the score for the A24 movie Mother Mary with Jack Antonoff, as well as producing original music for Benito Skinner’s Amazon Prime Video series Overcompensating. She is also slated to star in Daniel Goldhaber’s remake of the 1978 cult horror film Faces of Death and Greg Araki’s erotic thriller I Want Your Sex.

Post Malone appeared to let the cat out of the bag about two of his biggest 2025 tour dates. In an Instagram post announcing his most ambitious outing to date — next year’s Big Ass Stadium Tour with Jelly Roll — Malone also included a pair of shows on April 13 and 20 in Indio, […]

Two of the biggest names in country are hitting the road together next year. On Tuesday morning (Nov. 19), Post Malone announced the dates for his 2025 BIG ASS Stadium Tour, a 25-date spring/summer run that will team the “I Had Some Help” singer up with Jelly Roll for a run of baseball/football stadiums slated to kick off on April 29 at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, UT.
The Live Nation-produced North American tour, Posty’s biggest headlining outing to date, will also feature support from Sierra Ferrell on select dates. After launching in SLC, the tour will hit Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and the Alamodome in San Antonio, before moving on to Dallas, Atlanta, St. Louis, Detroit, Minneapolis, Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto, New York, Miami, Denver, and Portland before winding down on July 1 at Oracle Park in San Francisco.

In his Instagram post announcing the tour, Malone included a poster with two other dates not featured in the official press release on April 13 and 20 in Indio, California, which coincides with the two weekends of the 2025 Coachella Festival and will not include Jelly or Ferrell; the lineup for next year’s Coachella has not yet been announced and spokespeople for Malone and Coachella had not returned a request for comment on the April dates at press time.

Both Malone and Jelly are former rappers who’ve found great success in country music, with Malone hitting No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart earlier this year with his feature-packed debut country album, F-1 Trillion, which has been nominated for a best country album Grammy award.

Fans in the U.S. and Canada can register for an artist presale now here, with the artist presale slated to begin on Friday (Nov. 22). Tickets will also be available first through a Citi presale in the U.S. beginning on Wednesday (Nov. 20) at 12 p.m. local time through Nov. 25 at 10 p.m. local time through the Citi Entertainment program.

In addition, tour sponsor T-Mobile is giving customers exclusive access to preferred tickets on every U.S. date — even sold-out ones — with details available here.

The team-up with Malone comes just weeks after Jelly Roll wrapped up his biggest tour to date, the Beautifully Broken outing, which hit arenas across the U.S. on a bill featuring Warren Zeiders and Alexandra Kay.

In 2022 — the same year “Big Energy” became her first Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit — Latto got her first run at performing in arenas when she served as one of the openers for the North American leg of Lizzo‘s Special Tour. Just two years later, the Clayton County emcee headlined a major New York arena on her own when she graced Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Halloween (Oct. 31) for the fifth stop of her Sugar Honey Iced Tea Tour.

Latto’s latest trek is in support of her third studio album of the same name, which debuted atop Rap Albums and reached No. 15 on the Billboard 200. A sprawling love letter to the sonic fabric of Atlanta rap, Sugar Honey Iced Tea features the Hot 100 hits “Big Mama” (No. 92), “Sunday Service” (No. 100, with Megan Thee Stallion & Flo Milli) and “Put It on Da Floor Again” (No. 13, with Cardi B), as well as collaborations with Ciara, Coco Jones, Hunxho, Teezo Touchdown, Young Nudy and Mariah the Scientist.

The night began with a brief performance from Karrahboo — who brought out Gio, an Atlanta-based model attached to Lil Yachty‘s Concrete Boys collective — and a particularly heartfelt set from Mariah the Scientist. “Let’s just make it to the end so I can get on this jet!” she quipped mid-set, one of several times she alluded to the good news that rocked the hip-hop world mere hours before she took the stage: Young Thug, Grammy-winning rapper and beau to Mariah the Scientist, was sentenced to 15 years probation and no prison time after pleading guilty in the two-year criminal case alleging that he was the leader of a violent Atlanta street gang.

With Thugger coming home, Mariah implored that fans “burn [their] ‘Free Thug’ shirts” and start saying the phrase backward (“Thug free!”). Buoyed by an extra boost of passion and energy sourced from the Young Thug news, Mariah the Scientist rocked Barclays Center with a set that smartly played on the emotional vulnerability of her catalog. She’s been very open about continuing to ride for her man no matter the outcome of the case, so songs like “Spread Thin” felt especially poignant as they blasted through the arena.

Latto finally took the stage around 10:30 p.m., kicking off her set with the viral Sugar Honey Iced Tea opener “Georgia Peach.” From the classic first verse of “Georgia on My Mind” to the retro advertisements and tongue-in-cheek video interludes, Latto delivered an incredibly streamlined visual interpretation of the Sugar Honey Iced Tea aesthetic, which she described in her July Billboard cover story as “Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Lil’ Kim and Kelis… but obviously with a Southern hip-hop twist. They have very feminine energy, but masculine in the sense of confidence.”

In a nod to the holiday, Latto donned a Playboy bunny Halloween costume as she ripped her way through a setlist that prioritized her rap catalog. Though two of the biggest songs of her career are “Big Energy” and “Seven,” her Hot 100-topping collaboration with Jung Kook, Latto largely shied away from her pop fare, opting to focus on her recent hip-hop hits like “Brokey” and “Back Outside” and her earlier rap bangers like “Muwop” and “B—h from da Souf.” Despite a bit of sickness working against her, Latto delivered a remarkably high-energy show that featured tight choreography, an emphasis on live rapping and multiple levels of fan engagement — from the freaky Jumbotron moment of “Copper Cove” to the audience poll that gave way to heartfelt renditions of “Prized Possession” and “S/O to Me.”

Here are the five best moments of Latto’s Sugar Honey Iced Tea tour.

Mariah the Scientist Celebrates Young Thug’s Release

With an electrifying roar that resonated in every corner, Carin León took over Madrid’s WiZink Center, marking his historic debut in Spain. Part of his Boca Chueca Tour, the show not only marked the Mexican star’s first performance in Europe but also broke records: With an audience of 17,426 people, it surpassed Metallica’s mark set in 2018, becoming the event with the highest attendance of the more than 1,200 concerts held at the venue.

The atmosphere at the WiZink was unique, transformed into a 360-degree Palenque style, with spectators surrounding the arena like in a boxing ring, an unprecedented layout for this Madrid venue. Among the attendees were music stars such as Vanesa Martín, India Martínez, C. Tangana, and Ximena Sariñana, as well as the legendary soccer player Sergio Ramos, all witnesses of a night in which Mexican and Spanish music intertwined for two and a half hours of pure spectacle.

From the beginning, León’s excitement about being in Madrid was palpable. “I’ve always said it: the second place I would go after Hermosillo is Madrid,” he confessed, making clear the special place this city holds in his heart. One of the first surprises of the night was the live performance of “Recorrerte,” a song in collaboration with Sen Senra that he described as “sexy,” managing to arouse the audience’s emotions. The song, which has not yet been officially released, will be part of the Galician artist’s album PO2054AZ, VOL. II of the Galician artist, scheduled for release on November 15.

Trending on Billboard

One of the most emotional moments of the night came with the presence of his great friend and mentor, Álex Ubago, with whom León shared a special bond since he invited him to his birthday party in San Carlos, Sonora last July. Together they performed two of Ubago’s classics, “A Gritos de Esperanza” and “¿Qué Pides Tú?,” in a tribute to the influence that Spanish music has had on the Sonoran’s career. “What a dream to share with the artists I admire, long live Spain and long live its artists and music,” exclaimed León, visibly moved.

The connection between the two artists was reinforced with a dedication by León to those affected in Valencia by the DANA (a meteorological phenomenon that usually causes heavy rains and recently caused a tragedy in the region). “Life is sometimes very uncertain and very unfair. I want to dedicate this concert to the people of Valencia,” he said, receiving a standing ovation from the audience. “More than a minute of silence, I want an eternity of joy. Long live Valencia and this song goes with much affection and respect,” he added before performing “Vida Pasada.”

After singing “Por Culpa De Un Tercero”, the venue rumbled with the arrival of another of the stars of the night: Pablo Alborán. Together they performed “Viaje a Ningún Lado” in a duet that showed their mutual respect and admiration. “This man is a bully, how you sing!” joked León, to which Alborán responded with a wink: “For me, being together on stage in Madrid, there is no better place.” In this musical communion, the artists gave each other another joint performance, “De Piedra a Papel”, which became one of the most acclaimed moments of the evening.

Among the special guests was also Omar Montes, who performed with León the song “Ron con Coca” and, in a tone of admiration, said: “How proud of you, Carin León, who comes to Spain and breaks more than the Spaniards. You deserve all the good things that are happening to you.”

The night progressed with a series of hits, such as “Que Vuelvas,” “Talento de Televisión,” “Tóxico” and “Aviso Importante.” But the energy reached another level with the arrival of Manuel Carrasco. Together, they performed their collaboration “No Me Llores”, as well as a little-known gem by Carrasco that the Mexican himself asked him to sing, “Yo Te Vi Pasar,” which reflected the palpable chemistry between the two artists. “I’m delighted in front of so many beautiful people at your party. Let’s enjoy, brother,” exclaimed Carrasco, infecting the audience with his enthusiasm.

The musical display continued with a surprising version of Enrique Urquijo’s classic “Aunque Tú No lo Sepas,” to which León added his unique style. And, to close the night, the León could not leave out one of his most beloved anthems, “Primera Cita,” which sealed a spectacular debut in the Spanish capital.

“More than faith, I’m sure there will be more dates like this one,” anticipated León, before saying goodbye.

The next destination of his Boca Chueca Tour is London, this Sunday, November 3, followed by Amsterdam and Paris, on November 4 and 5, respectively.
