Los Bukis are preparing to make Sin City history…

The Mexican grupero band, formed in 1973 and led by singer and songwriter Marco Antonio Solís, has announced a headlining residency in Las Vegas, set to kick off on Friday, May 3, at the Dolby Live at Park MGM.

Los BukisThe 15-date stint will make history as the first-ever full Spanish-language residency on the Las Vegas Strip, according to a press release.

Presented in partnership with Live Nation and MGM Resorts International, Los Bukis: The Las Vegas Residency celebrates the Mexican group’s 50th anniversary and will offer fans a more intimate concert experience in the 5,200-seat entertainment venue.

The news of the residency follows the Los Bukis stadium tour, which kicked off in 2021, reuniting the band after a 25-year hiatus. Per Billboard‘s 2021 year-end Boxscore charts, Los Bukis’ Una Historia Cantada Tour landed a No. 6 spot on Billboard‘s 40 top tours of 2021 with a total gross of $49,667,153. The reunion trek also won Top Latin Tour at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards.

Following the group’s 2021 stadium trek, Los Bukis hit the road once again in 2022 for additional dates.

“Being able to share the stage together and see the emotion of the people in the stadiums are things that really mark your life in a beautiful way. It feeds our heart and soul,” the grupero band previously told Billboard.

Los Bukis has sent 32 entries onto the Hot Latin Songs chart (which began in October 1986), scoring five No. 1 hits, including “Como Fui A Enamorarme De Ti,” “Y Ahora Te Vas” and “Mi Mayor Necesidad.”

Tickets will go on sale on Friday, February 2.

Here are the dates for the Los Bukis residency:

May: 3, 4, 8, 10 & 11
July: 12, 13, 17, 19 & 20
September: 13, 14, 18, 20 & 21

Taking place in Las Vegas next year, the festival will feature performances by Mars, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Metallica and No Doubt on the main stage during the festival, which takes place May 8-9 and May 15-16.

The announcement and debut of the festival’s look came complete with a magician, tap dancers, a fire-thrower and musical acts performing in front of building facades resembling streets in the United States, Brazil and the United Kingdom.

Luis Justo, CEO of Rock in Rio, says the festival is intended to be an “immersive” experience. A Ferris wheel and 64-foot-high zip line are also planned for the site. “It’s like an amusement park with a lot of different attractions,” Justo told Billboard in April. “More than the talent itself, the experience that the crowd has at Rock In Rio is really different.”

The venue will accommodate 85,000 general admission ticket-holders each day and 4,000 VIPs, organizers said. A pre-sale last month attracted ticket-buyers from 32 different countries, Justo said.

The 37-acre open-air venue stretching from the corner of Las Vegas and Sahara boulevards next to the Circus Circus Resort is being built by MGM Resorts in concert with Cirque du Soleil and The Yucaipa Cos. investment firm.

Tickets are expected to go on sale in January. For more information, visit www.RockinRio.com
