The Latin Music Festival Besamé Mucho Cancellation
Reasons Behind the Cancellation
The Latin music festival Besamé Mucho, originally scheduled to feature headliners such as Shakira, Pitbull, and Los Tigres del Norte at Dodger Stadium on Dec. 21, has been canceled, as confirmed by promoters on Monday. According to the festival’s Instagram post, the one-day event was called off “due to circumstances beyond our control.” The organizers expressed their disappointment after working hard all year to bring another unforgettable show in December.
Impact of Shakira’s Tour Postponement
Rolling Stone reported that the festival’s cancellation was influenced by Shakira’s decision to postpone her arena tour for a stadium run next year. Originally planned as part of her 2024 tour across the United States, the festival was set to kick off in November. Live Nation recently upgraded the tour to stadiums for 2025 due to incredible fan demand and production changes.
Lineup and Future Plans
The one-day festival was also supposed to feature appearances from Juanes, Gloria Trevi, Elvis Crespo, Paulina Rubio, Los Tucanes de Tijuana, and more. It was the third iteration of the event that began over two years ago and expanded to Austin, Texas earlier this year. The festival will return to Austin at Circuit of the Americas racing track next April with headliners like Peso Pluma, Carin León, Los Tigres del Norte, and Tito Doble P. Other artists on the lineup include Pepe Aguilar, Eden Muñoz, Banda MS, Elvis Crespo, Argentinian singer Cazzu, and many more.
Refunds for Ticket Holders
Fans who purchased tickets for the Los Angeles festival can expect refunds in as little as 30 days, according to event organizers.
