Ricardo Arjona
Dates: July-Sept.
Location: North America See All Dates Guatemala-born singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona has steadily upped the ante on his stateside tours, and does so again this summer with 23 arena and theater shows in the U.S. and Canada. The trek in support of his 2008 release on Warner, "5to Piso," is the biggest Latin tour promoted by AEG Live. Arjona's last tour, which ran 2006-07, grossed $8.2 million and drew more than 134,000, according to Billboard Boxscore. In addition to re-visiting cities that were emerging Latin markets on his last outing (such as Boston, Orlando and Atlanta), Arjona is venturing into Seattle, Wash. and Toronto, Canada. --Ayala Ben-Yehuda |
