Weeks following her popular Coachella performance, Becky G has announced that she’ll finally be headlining her very own US tour — for the very first time in her career. Her “Mi Casa, Tu Casa Tour” kicks off in September with 16 dates and stops in several cities including Boston, Los Angeles, New York, Orlando, San Antonio, and more, officially wrapping on Oct. 14 in Phoenix, AZ.
“[The] ‘Mi Casa, Tu Casa” Tour is about inviting people into an intimate experience with me. My intention is for it to be a place where we can sing, dance, laugh, and cry, all in the comfort of our shared space,” Becky G told Variety. “I’ve never headlined my own tour before, so I really want it to feel personal and connect with my fans in that way, because we’ll build nuestra casa [our home] in every city, together.”
The Mexican-American artist went on a Latin American and European tour in 2019 but considering how far the 26-year-old has gotten in her music career, it’s surprising that it’s taken this long for her to finally headline her own US tour. Becky G has put out a number of hits including her “Bailé Con Mi Ex” single that helped her land her first No.1 as a solo artist on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart. Last year, she earned her first No.1 on Billboard’s Latin Pop Albums chart with the 14-track “Esquemas.” She has made a number of appearances at music festivals and award shows and this April she made her Coachella solo debut. She’s also taken home a few awards. Most recently, she was presented with the Impact Award at Billboard’s Women in Music Awards.
It’s only been in recent years that women in Latin urbano music have been given the space to headline their own tours across the US. In 2021, Karol G headlined her first US tour, titled the “Bichota Tour, “following her third studio album “KG0516.” It included 21 dates and kicked off in Denver. These are major milestones to hit considering Latin urbano music is still a mostly, main-dominated genre. But Latinas in this space are finally getting the recognition that they deserve.
“I’ve always wanted to headline my own tour, and I truly feel there’s no better time than now,” she says. “I’m so proud of the journey I’ve taken and the work I’ve put in as an artist that’s gotten me here. Getting a chance to perform at Coachella was such a major milestone in my career, and while I prepared for that show, I knew it was also the perfect time to develop a tour so I could bring this vision and experience to others.”
As she announces her US tour, Becky G has also been working on her highly anticipated album, which will be a fusion of Mexican regional — a genre that’s been receiving a lot of mainstream popularity in recent years — and Mexican pop.
