May 28, 2026
Katy Perry will perform a free concert in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosí on Aug. 25 as part of the lineup for the annual state fair, Feria Nacional Potosina, or FENAPO. The pop superstar made the surprise announcement in a video posted to her Instagram on Tuesday night (May 26).
“I’m really excited about this announcement. I told you I’d be coming back, and now I am. Aug. 25, FENAPO,” Perry said in the clip. “Free show for all of my Mexican KatyGatos! Let’s go!”
With an excited shout, the performer expresses her excitement about returning to the country. “You’re gonna love this show. It’s a new show. Super fun. Lots of joymaxxing. And really just for you, the fan, because I’m a fan of you. You know I love you, you know I keep my promises. I’ll see you Aug. 25 in FENAPO — for free.”
The “I Kissed a Girl” and “Roar” singer kicked off her previous tour, The Lifetimes Tour, on April 23, 2025, at Arena CDMX, where she wowed audiences with spectacular moments during the show, thanks to its innovative futuristic concept.
The trek wrapped up in December with a total gross of over $134 million in ticket sales, according to data provided to Billboard by her management.
In addition to Perry, this year’s FENAPO lineup includes veteran glam rock band Mötley Crüe, Puerto Rican reggaetón star Yandel, as well as Mexican artists Kenia Os and Santa Fe Klan, and Argentine DJ Bizarrap.
Bad Bunny Tops Three Midyear Boxscore Charts
May 28, 2026
The chart year is only half over, but Bad Bunny has already staked his claim as one of the biggest touring acts of 2026. On Billboard’s midyear Boxscore report, he tops three charts with the first leg of the Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour.
According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, Bad Bunny’s 27 shows between Nov. 21 and March 1 grossed $230.3 million and sold 1.5 million tickets — 1.497 million to be more specific. That makes it the bestselling tour of the midyear period (Oct. 1, 2025-March 31), seating him at No. 1 on Top Ticket Sales, ranked by total attendance. It’s the biggest reported midyear ticket count in 15 years, since U2 sold 1.642 million in 2011.
Broken down by genre, Bad Bunny is also No. 1 on Top Latin Tours, ranked by gross revenue. He’s No. 2 on the overall Top Tours chart behind Lady Gaga who surpassed him by just 3%, at $236.2 million.
So far, Bad Bunny’s tour has covered eight cities in Latin America, plus two shows in Sydney. He began in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and visited San Jose, Costa Rica and Mexico City before year’s end. The CDMX stop lasted for eight shows at Estadio GNP Seguros (Dec. 10-21) and grossed $88 million from 518,000 tickets sold, establishing an overwhelming lead at No. 1 on Top Boxscores, which ranks the biggest single-venue tour stops. His next closest competitor was himself, with three February shows in Argentina that grossed $33.5 million.
The Mexico City shows helped Estadio GNP Seguros reign over the Top Stadiums ranking; without Bad Bunny’s gross, it would have been No. 2 underneath another stadium from his tour, Buenos Aires’ Estadio River Plate.
Bad Bunny continued in the new year, touring South America with multi-night stadium stays in Santiago, Lima, Medellin, Buenos Aires and São Paulo. He capped his midyear run with two shows at Sydney’s ENGIE Stadium (Feb. 28-March 1). All 27 shows were sold out, with six of his nine stops appearing on Top Boxscores.
Bad Bunny restarted the trek last week with May 22-23 shows at Barcelona’s Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. They were the first of 29 scheduled shows in Europe that will further pad his overall 2026 totals. Essentially halfway through the tour, he is set to surpass $400 million and approach three million tickets sold by the end of July.
