Reggaeton heavyweight Yandel is bringing his Sinfónico USA tour to El Paso this fall, locking in a date at the Don Haskins Center on Sunday, Oct. 18. The fall run includes just nine U.S. shows, and this stop will spotlight orchestral arrangements of Yandel’s hits. Presale access opens Thursday at 10 a.m. local time, with general tickets going on sale Friday at 10 a.m.

Live Nation Adds El Paso To U.S. Run

Promoter Live Nation announced the new U.S. Sinfónico dates and listed El Paso as an Oct. 18 stop on the itinerary. Local outlet KVIA reported that the show will take place at the Don Haskins Center.

Tickets And Presales

For El Paso fans, the clock starts ticking on Thursday, May 7, at 10:00 a.m. local time, when multiple presale offers open up, according to Ticketmaster. The general on-sale follows on Friday, May 8, at 10:00 a.m. Ticketmaster’s event page lists the Don Haskins Center as the venue and flags that presale ticket quantities can be limited, so waiting too long might not be the best strategy.

What “Sinfónico” Means

The Sinfónico concept puts Yandel’s reggaeton catalog in conversation with a full orchestra, trading booming club beats for symphonic muscle without losing the energy. That approach is captured on the live album “SINFÓNICO (En Vivo),” which earned a 2026 Grammy nomination for Best Música Urbana Album, per GRAMMY.com. The project grew out of a collaboration with the FIU Symphony Orchestra and brought in FIU faculty and students for the recording, according to FIU News.

What Fans Should Know

The Don Haskins Center serves as UTEP’s primary arena and lists roughly 11,659 permanent seats, according to UTEP’s Special Facilities Management, giving Yandel plenty of room to turn the space into a large-scale Sinfónico showcase. Ticketmaster also notes that the venue enforces a clear-bag policy and provides directions and venue details for anyone planning their concert night.
