Adding, 'With nearly 50,000 tickets sold, this sold-out show was set to be an unforgettable night for fans. Both CMN and Copar Music, along with Julión's team, are actively working to reschedule the performance as soon as possible. Julión Álvarez extends his heartfelt thanks for your patience and continued support, and he looks forward to reuniting with his Texas fans very soon.'
In a video message posted on Instagram, Álvarez further explained that his work visa had been cancelled. 'It's a situation that is out of our hands. It's the information I have and what I can share.'
In April, the regional Mexican star, known for hits like 'Póngamonos de Acuerdo' and 'Te Hubieras Ido Antes,' made his grand return to the United States with three historic sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
The shows in L.A. saw Álvarez perform in the U.S. again, eight years after a legal process that began Aug. 10, 2017, when the U.S. Treasury Department singled out the singer for alleged money laundering and links to drug trafficking. This caused the closure of his social media accounts and the rejection of U.S. companies to work with the Chiapas-born singer, and kept him away from stages in this country.
In May 2022, the charges were dropped and Alvarez announced in a press conference that everything had been 'cleared up.' The three shows in L.A. and the one in Texas this year were setting him up for his upcoming 4218 Tour in the U.S., although the tour dates had yet to be announced.
While it's unclear why Álvarez was not able to enter the U.S., the news comes at a time when international artists have faced a visa situation that has impacted a handful of regional Mexican acts and events. Earlier this month, Michelada Fest in Chicago was canceled over artists' visa uncertainty.
Today's press statement mentions that previously purchased tickets 'will be honored for the new date,' but if unable to attend the rescheduled concert, 'refund details will be provided.'

Travis Kelce Recaps His & Taylor Swift's ‘Adventures This Offseason' in Adorable Photos

Travis Kelce just gave fans a rare look into his and Taylor Swift's love story, sharing a bunch of unseen photos from their recent adventures on Thursday (July 24). In the first of the pictures posted to Kelce's Instagram, he and his superstar girlfriend pose together at night while on a boat, both of them wearing white and pointing to their matching 'Captain' caps. In another adorable snap, he holds up finger guns while Swift shows off a pair of glasses, with the couple seemingly out on a dinner date.

In the latter, Kelce rests a hand on Swift's hip while she places a hand lovingly on his neck, with the duo's friends smiling at the camera to their left. 'Had some adventures this offseason, kept it [100],' Kelce wrote in his caption. Though the Kansas City Chiefs star has been open about being romantically involved with the 14-time Grammy winner, his post marks one of the first times he's shared photos of himself and Swift on Instagram. The couple has been dating since 2023, but now that the singer's Eras Tour is over and Kelce has had a break between NFL seasons, they've seemingly had more time to spend together. One event the couple attended together was Kelce's Tight End University, an annual summit held in Nashville for the NFL's tight ends. Swift walked the red carpet with her boyfriend at the gathering's opening ceremonies before delivering a surprise performance of 'Shake It Off' at an afterparty. The musician also recently came up during a discussion between Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, on their New Heights podcast. While discussing the film Pretty Woman, the younger Kelce joked that he's living a gender-swapped version of the movie's plot with Swift. 'I'm wearing nothing but a tie when Taylor comes home,' he quipped on the episode. 'I'm just an NFL stripper, that's it — just an NFL hooker, man.'

Rapper GloRilla busted for drug possession following break-in at Atlanta home — and blasts cops for nabbing her instead of burglars

Rapper GloRilla was hit with drug charges after cops found a large stash of marijuana in her Georgia home while investigating a break-in – and the Grammy-nominated artist is now slamming police for arresting her instead of the burglars. The 'Yeah Glo' hitmaker, whose real name is Gloria Hallelujah Woods, was slapped with possession of marijuana and a controlled substance after voluntarily turning herself into police on Tuesday, according to the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office. GloRilla's arrest came after deputies responded to reports of a break-in at her Atlanta home around 1:30 a.m. Sunday – just hours after she performed at halftime during the WNBA All-Star Game in Indianapolis. 4 Rapper GloRilla was arrested after cops found cannabis in her closet during a home invasion investigation. Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP Police said three bandits – who still remain at large – broke into the 25-year-old's home and were in the middle of stealing items when someone inside opened fire, prompting the uninjured thieves to flee. While investigating the brazen intrusion, deputies smelled 'a strong odor' and discovered 'a significant amount of marijuana' in plain view inside the 'F.N.F. (Let's Go)' artist's master bedroom closet. GloRilla, who was previously busted for a DUI last April, was released Tuesday on a $22,260 bond. 4 She was previously arrested last April for a DUI. Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office 'My House got Home Invaded Saturday while I was in Indianapolis performing for the WNBA all star game & instead of focusing on finding the Suspects, they focus on some cannabis,' the Tennessee native said in a fiery X post Thursday afternoon. 'Long story short my house gets home invaded and Im the only one that gets arrested. So that's tea.' The rapper's 'traumatized' family was inside the home when the intruders struck — allegedly making off with 'high value jewelry,' her lawyers said in a statement, blasting their client's arrest as a 'disturbing window into how warped law enforcement priorities have become.' 4 GloRilla slammed police for arresting her instead of the three suspected bandits in fiery post on X. GloRilla ð¦ 'When her family members did the right thing and called law enforcement, instead of investigating the violent home invasion and theft at Ms. Woods' home, they instead sought a search warrant,' her attorneys said. 'No arrest warrants have been issued for the violent home invaders. Ms. Woods is a victim, not a suspect. This is our tax dollars at work, absolutely unbelievable.' Police, who have yet to find the three bandits following 'an extensive search,' agreed that the 'Blessed' star is a victim, but said they still have a duty to uphold the law. 4 She was charged with possession of marijuana and a controlled substance. Getty Images 'The homeowner is a victim of a serious crime, and we are committed to bringing the suspects to justice,' Sheriff Ron Freeman said. 'At the same time, we must continue to uphold and enforce the law in all aspects of this case.' The investigation is ongoing. With Post wires.
