Produced by Cárdenas Marketing Network (CMN), J Balvin’s 25-date Jose trek is set to kick off April 19 in San Antonio’s AT&T Center and wrap up June 4 at El Coliseo de Puerto Rico — with stops in Las Vegas, Miami and New York.

“I think he’s in the best moment of his life,” Henry Cárdenas, CEO of CMN, tells Billboard. “Between Balvin and CMN, we’re going to sell out.”

J Balvin has grossed more than $20 million and sold over 300,000 tickets, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore.

His new set — home to 24 tracks including the Grammy Award-nominated “Un Día (One Day)”  and “Qué Más Pues?” — follows Balvin’s 2020 Colores, which peaked No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart and at No. 15 on the Billboard 200.

The “Que Locura” singer has been busy this year releasing a handful of singles, jumping on star-studded remixes and slowly returning to live shows with sporadic performances at festivals such as Baja Beach Fest in Mexico and Neon Experience in Las Vegas, an event curated by the artist himself featuring artists such as Karol G, Nio Garcia and Jowell & Randy.

Most recently, Balvin logged his 31st No. 1 on Billboard‘s Latin Airplay chart thanks to the ’90s dance hit-interpolated, Skrillex-assisted “In Da Getto,” tying him with Enrique Iglesias for the most leaders in the chart’s history.

J Balvin is a nine-time finalist at the 2021 Billboard Latin Music Awards. He’s garnered four nods for “Ritmo (Bad Boys for Life),” the blockbuster track with Black Eyed Peas, and is also up for artist of the year.

Tickets will be available for presale September 13 at 12:00 pm local time and for general sale on September 17 through TicketmasterAXSSeatGeekEvenko.ca and Ticketerapr.com.

VF7 to Perform First-Ever Concert as Part of El Coliseo de Puerto Rico’s Quarantine Live Concerts Series

VF7 will perform her first-ever concert… But she’ll have to do it without an audience.

As part of El Colseo’s “Quarantine Live Concerts Series,” VF7’s virtual show, live from the island’s biggest venue, follows Rauw Alejandro‘s livestream from El Coliseo on May 16 when the venue opened its doors for the first time since the COVID-19 lockdown.

“I always dreamed of singing at el Choli. I am very excited and I want it to be huge. I will give it my all for all my fans around the world,” VF7 said in a statement.

About VF7’s show in El Coliseo, its general manager Eduardo Cajina said, “El Choliseois known internationally as the house of reggaetón, which is why we’re very happy to be the venue where VF7 will offer her first concert,” he said. Adding, “we want to take this opportunity to congratulate this young Puerto Rican artist for making a name for herself in the urbanogenre. We know she will achieve many things and it’s an honor to be part of her artistic career development.”

Spotlighted in Billboards list of 17 Latina artists to discover during quarantine, VF7 had major plans this year including her first tours of Spain and Mexico, which were ultimately postponed amid the global pandemic.

The virtual concert, sponsored by El Coliseo de Puerto Rico and Sora and Company, will take place on June 19 at 8:00 pm ET and can be streamed via VF7’s YouTube channel.
