Ricky Martin Announces Return to Paraguay After 15 Years as Regional April Tour Takes Shape
Ricky Martin is slated to bring his live show back to Paraguay in April 2026, the first visit to the country since his 2011 Música+Alma+Sexo World Tour. The news comes as the Puerto Rican star prepares a regional itinerary that also includes Argentina and Uruguay, with more details expected in the coming weeks.
How the comeback was unveiled
The artist’s return was confirmed when a regional promoter posted the upcoming dates on social media and the performer reshared the announcement. Organizers indicated the leg will hit Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay in April 2026, though the specific Paraguayan venue and ticketing information have not yet been disclosed. Fans and local concertgoers can anticipate an official schedule and box office details to follow soon.
Why this matters: context and legacy
This will mark Martin’s first show in Paraguay since 2011, when he performed as part of the Música+Alma+Sexo World Tour, a campaign that supported his then-new album and drew significant regional attention. In the years since, Martin has remained a prominent figure in global pop, moving between studio releases, stage projects and high-profile guest appearances.
Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Martin rose to fame as a child performer and then as a member of a well-known youth group before launching a solo career in the 1990s. Over four decades he has sold more than 70 million records worldwide and built a catalog that includes international hits and enduring fan favorites. His résumé spans multiple Grammys and Latin Grammys—along with a host of other industry honors—and extends into musical theater and screen roles.
More recently, Martin made headlines for a surprise Super Bowl halftime appearance with a fellow Puerto Rican artist, an unexpected moment that highlighted his enduring profile across generations and musical styles. He was also spotted enjoying Carnival in Rio de Janeiro just prior to the tour announcement, signaling an active period of performances and public appearances.
What fans can expect next
Promoters have indicated a countdown is underway and further announcements are imminent. While Paraguay’s city and venue remain unlisted, local concert infrastructure suggests options could range from major outdoor stadiums to large indoor arenas depending on routing and production needs. When venue and date specifics are released, organizers typically publish ticketing windows, VIP packages and pandemic-era access policies if applicable.
For ticket buyers, early planning is advisable: major regional tours by artists of Martin’s stature often sell quickly, and secondary markets can inflate prices. Fans hoping for meet-and-greets or premium experiences should watch for official packages announced with the ticket drop.
As of Feb. 15, 2026 (ET), the tour announcement stands as an important cultural moment for Paraguay and the wider Southern Cone. The return of a major Latin pop icon after a 15-year absence is likely to generate strong demand and renewed attention to live music in the region.
