J Balvin will take his catalog of mega-hits all over North America this spring. The global superstar has just announced his “Back To The Rayo” tour, which will bring him to cities across the United States and Canada in support of his new album Rayo. He announced the outing Monday with a Back To The Future-themed trailer.
The tour begins March 20 in Atlanta and will hit markets including Miami, Brooklyn, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Inglewood before wrapping up in Portland on May 17. Tickets go on sale this Thursday, Nov. 21 at 9 a.m. local time, but a pre-sale is available 24 hours earlier for J Balvin’s Familia members. Signup is available at JBalvin.com.
Rayo — named for Balvin’s first car, a gift from his father — includes hits such as “Gaga,” a collaboration with the Spanish star Saiko, and “Doblexxó,” featuring Balvin’s fellow Colombian star Feid. Some of the other guests on the tracklist include Chencho Corleone, Zion, Quevedo, and Bad Gyal, all of whom contribute to the house party feel Balvin was going for.
Balvin, known as the “Prince of Reggaeton,” is one of the most successful recording artists in the world, with more than 35 million records sold worldwide. He has won Latin Grammy Awards and five MTV Video Music Awards among other accolades and was the first Latino artist to headline events including Coachella, Tomorrowland, and Lollapalooza. He teamed with Cardi B and Bad Bunny for the US No. 1 hit “I Like It” and climbed to No. 3 with his own global anthem “Mi Gente.” He has reached No. 1 on various Billboard charts 174, a record for a Latino artist.
