We're convinced that Juan Gabriel has no plans to retire ---and not that we ever want him to! Even his health scare two years ago that caused him to postpone concert dates didn't stop him from pouring his heart out on stage. Nothing, and we mean, nothing scares Juanga ---not falling from the stage and not his pneumonia scare--- in fact, the Mexican singer has just revealed a new tour following his successful sold-out tour, "Volver."
The new tour called "MeXXIco Es Todos" (XXI symbolizing the 21st century) is expected to make the rounds in the fall in over 20 U.S. cities including Miami, Los Angeles and Chicago. Be prepared, because El Divo de Juarez is coming full force with a 360 stage set-up so that all of his fans can enjoy his show, his iconic songs and his shoulder shimmies!
"It’s the most extensive tour for us, and the biggest show,” said Juan Gabriel’s son Iván Aguilera to Latin Billboard, who got the exclusive scoop. According to Billboard, "MeXXIco Es Todos" will count with the participation of more than 100 people, including a mariachi band, an orchestra and a troupe of professional dancers.
“We're going to feature traditional Mexican folk dances as well as contemporary pop choreographies,” said the 28 year old, who has also been the manager of Juanga for the past six years. “It’s the first time he incorporates dancers into the show.”
Those who have been to a Juan Gabriel spectacle know that he loves to sing and perform way past due hours. "We always plan on a two hour, two and a half hour show, but he always goes over because he sees his fans having a blast and he wants them to get his money’s worth,” Aguilera explained to Billboard. According to Aguilera, his 66-year-old father is always prepared for his tours. He's a healthy eater, he wakes up early, and loves to take naps.
"MeXXIco Es Todos" will kick off in August at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego. His visit in 22 U.S. cities will include back-to-back shows in McAllen, Texas' State Farm Arena and many shows in North Carolina, California, Florida and New York. Billboard reports tickets go on sale Friday, June 3 at 10 a.m. with a special code-activated pre-sale on Thursday, June 2 at 10 a.m.
