The musical landscape is buzzing with excitement as Xavi, the 19-year-old regional Mexican sensation, prepares to grace stages across the U.S. with his inaugural Poco a Poco Tour. In a flourishing career that's rocketed him to the top of the charts, the "La Diabla" hitmaker has officially announced a tour that includes an eagerly anticipated May 11 performance at Houston's House of Blues. According to the Houston Chronicle, the event is part of a string of concerts that's guaranteed to sell out fast, with tickets priced between $45 and $75 available for purchase through Live Nation starting at 10 a.m. Friday.
The rise of Xavi to stardom was as swift as it was impressive, transforming from a TikTok viral sensation to acing Spotify's Global chart. "La Diabla," Xavi's latest earworm, has even surpassed Bad Bunny's "Monaco" as the longest-reigning No. 1 Latin solo song on the Spotify Global chart. Melding traditional corridos with hip-hop influences, Xavi's sound resonates with a generation keen on both lyrical storytelling and edgy beats. This alignment with the wave of corridos tumbados, as per the Houston Chronicle, is what primarily appeals to the young audience and has been central to his explosive success.
But Xavi isn't just stopping in Houston; his Poco a Poco Tour is a comprehensive 24-date extravaganza. Kicking off on March 28 in Mexico City, the tour will meander through major cities across the U.S. including Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, and Phoenix, before wrapping up in San Antonio on May 12. Adding more festival flair to his schedule, Xavi is primed to take the stage at Sueños Music Festival in Chicago on May 25. The full list of tour dates can be found, making waves not just for his performances but for his knack for storytelling through music, with Billboard hailing him for his eight-week tenure atop their Latin Songwriters chart.
His first U.S. tour is more than just a series of concerts; it's a homecoming of sorts. As documented by Billboard, the Mexican-American artist is celebrating his heritage with My Mom’s Playlist, a summer EP tribute to his mother featuring covers of Latin pop and rock en Español classics. Fans eager to catch a glimpse of the rising star in action can snag their tickets early via Seated.com's presale on Wednesday, or wait for the public sale set for Friday on Xavi's official website. Acknowledging his growing global appeal, Xavi has recently etched a deal with WME for global representation in all areas, signaling that this tour is just the beginning of his international endeavors.
