Mon Laferte is bringing her Femme Fatale tour to Orlando this Sunday, August 9, with an 8 p.m. show at Hard Rock Live that pairs the Chilean-Mexican singer's genre-blending sound with the retro, film-noir aesthetic she's built her recent work around. Tickets for the show at 6050 Universal Blvd. range from $139.15 to $381.80, and the venue sits inside Universal CityWalk.
The stop is part of a run named after Laferte's recent Femme Fatale albums, according to Orlando Weekly, which notes the first Femme Fatale album came out in 2025 and that Laferte followed it in June 2026 with Femme Fatale Vol. 2. Laferte adopted her stage name early in her career and has built a catalog that blends jazz, pop, salsa, cumbia and bolero, per the same report. Billboard crowned her one of the greatest female Latin pop artists ever in 2025, a distinction that underscores just how far she's traveled from her early days.
A Sound Rooted in Vintage Glamour
Femme Fatale Vol. 2 leans into a 20-track, jazz-infused sound and includes “While I'll Keep Writing Songs for You,” an English-language duet with American indie-rock artist St. Vincent, according to Hits Daily Double. The album was co-produced with Manu Jalil, with select tracks co-produced by Rick Nowels, known for his work with Lana Del Rey, the outlet reports. That noir sensibility isn't confined to the studio: in March, Laferte served as artist and musical director for Spotify's EQUAL Edition session in Latin America, leading an all-female jazz ensemble in film-noir-style reworkings of Femme Fatale songs, according to Spotify. Spotify EQUAL is a global initiative dedicated to boosting female representation across the music industry.
The Orlando date falls within a 28-date North American trek Live Nation announced would begin in Laval, Quebec, on July 24, 2026, and wind through cities including New York before wrapping in Los Angeles in November, according to Live Nation's announcement. It marks her first major North American tour since her 2024 arena run, per that same announcement.
A Career Built on Records and Reinvention
Laferte's résumé carries significant institutional weight. She won Best Alternative Music Album at the 25th Latin Grammy Awards in November 2024 for Autopoiética, which was also nominated for Album of the Year, bringing her career total to five Latin Grammys — the most won by any Chilean artist in history, according to LatinGRAMMY.com. The Recording Academy also nominated her for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards in 2025 for the same record, marking her third U.S. Grammy nomination following earlier nods for Seis and 1940 Carmen, per Grammy.com.
Her commercial footprint in Spanish-speaking markets is just as significant: Laferte is the best-selling Chilean artist of the digital era in Mexico, with more than 4.8 million album-equivalent units sold and multiple diamond certifications from AMPROFON for albums including Mon Laferte, Vol. 1 and La Trenza, according to Wikipedia. She relocated to Mexico City in 2007 before rising to international stardom, the entry notes.
From Reality TV Contestant to Stage Actress
Laferte's path to the noir persona she now performs under has included stints in musical theater and reality television in Chile early in her career, according to AllMusic. In 2025, she expanded into musical theater again, starring as Sally Bowles in a major Mexico City stage production of Cabaret, the outlet reports. Her personal story was also the subject of a Netflix documentary, Mon Laferte, Te Amo, released in August 2024, which recounted her personal life, past health battles — including a diagnosis of thyroid cancer — and her rise as a global artist, according to Criteria Entertainment. The film arrived alongside her 2024 global tour, the outlet notes.
Why Orlando Is a Natural Stop
The venue itself carries some local color: Hard Rock Live Orlando, nicknamed the city's “Coliseum of Rock” for its Roman-inspired design, seats roughly 2,800 to 3,000 guests and sits next to the largest Hard Rock Cafe location in the world, according to PartySlate. That scale fits a market where more than a third of Orlando residents identify as Hispanic or Latino, with Puerto Rican, Mexican and Cuban communities representing the largest groups, according to Visit Orlando. Florida's Hispanic population has grown rapidly along the I-4 corridor over the past decade, per the same source, giving touring Latin artists like Laferte a built-in audience across Central Florida.
Orlando Weekly, which has covered local news, food, nightlife, events and culture without a paywall since 1990, first previewed Sunday's show. Laferte isn't new to appreciative crowds outside her home markets — Hoodline once featured her performing at Los Angeles's La Tocada Music Festival alongside Café Tacvba and Panteón Rococó, and later covered a fan meet-and-greet she held in the city. Sunday's Hard Rock Live show gives Orlando a chance to see how that same magnetism translates to her latest, jazzier chapter.
