Marc Anthony and Carlos Vives are joining forces…

After joining voices on their hit single “Cuando Nos Volvamos a Encontrar,” the 46-year-old Puerto Rican salsa singer and the 53-year-old Colombian singer have announced plans to tour together in an outing they’ve dubbed UNIDO2, a play on words meaning “United” part 2.

The tour will be presented by Cardenas Marketing Network (CMN), which has long produced and booked Marc Anthony’s performances worldwide.

Anthony and Vives, two of Latin music’s biggest stars, will perform in 11 U.S. markets. The tour will also include additional solo performances by Marc Anthony in seven other markets.

UNIDO2 kicks off with two shows at Puerto Rico’s Coliseum on Sept. 11 and 12, followed by dates in Las Vegas, Canada and Chicago, among other cities.

The pair will play two nights at Los Angeles’ Nokia Theater and two nights at the American Airlines Arena in Miami.

Anthony and Vives have both been touring as solo acts in the past year.

Anthony even came in as the highest-grossing Latin touring act of 2014, according to Boxscore, bringing in $26.8 million  ticket sales for 32 reported shows in North America. A total of 20 of those came from U.S. venues and 12 from Mexico.

Tickets for the tour go on sale April 10 at 1:00 pm ET, with the exception of the Barclays Center concert in New York, which goes on sale April 17. Puerto Rico sale dates will be announced separately.

The invitation-only concert series, which leads up to the Billboard Latin Music Conference and Awards, will take place in seven cities this year as it continues to expand throughout the U.S.

Produced by Cardenas Marketing Network (CMN) in partnership with Telemundo Station Group, the series kicks off April 3 with Torres’ show at Escapade in Houston.

The “Adivina” singer will then perform at the Far West in Dallas on April 4, The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco on April 5 and The Mayan in Los Angeles on April 6.

Yandel will then take over performing on April 10 at Stage 48 in New York, April 11 at Chicago’s Concord Music Hall and April 12 at Liv Nightclub in Miami.

 

Yandel’s shows will be the launchpad for his first-ever U.S. solo tour, De Líder a Leyenda — which will continue throughout the month of June.

Billboard en Concierto was launched in 2010 as an extension of the Billboard Latin Music Awards. Previous performers include 3BallMTY in 2013 and Gloria Trevi and Reik in 2012.

“Billboard en Concierto takes the best of our charts straight to the fans. There is no comparable concert experience out there,” said Leila Cobo, executive director, Latin content and programming, Billboard.

Since its inception, the series features performances by top acts who are finalists for the Billboard Latin Music Awards. Originally launched as a three-day event, the series has grown to seven dates.

“CMN is honored to work again with longtime partners Billboard and Telemundo to present this leading Latin music series,” said Henry Cardenas, president/CEO, CMN. “We’re privileged to continue the success of Billboard en Concierto for the fifth consecutive year and look forward to another unforgettable year.”

Tickets to Billboard En Concierto can be obtained through local Telemundo stations or by participating in sponsored promotions. Fans can visit their local Telemundo websites for more information.

Billboard en Concierto leads up to the Billboard Latin Music Conference, taking place April 21-24 at the Marriott in Miami, and the Billboard Latin Music Awards, which will air live on Telemundo April 24.
