Ricardo Arjona announces 2026 U.S. tour with tickets starting at $68

After a two-year hiatus from the stage, Ricardo Arjona on Thursday announced a 33-concert U.S. tour for 2026, billed as Lo que el SECO no dijo Tour to support his January 2025 album SECO. The Guatemalan singer-songwriter, often described as Latin America's Bob Dylan by media, will launch in the New York area with a Feb. 7 date at UBS Arena in Belmont Park, followed by two Madison Square Garden shows on Feb. 11 and 12, and will close the run April 17 at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. It will be his first U.S. shows since the Blanco y negro: Volver 2023 tour.

Ticket prices for the tour vary widely. The New York Post, which compiled a calendar of all dates and prices, shows the lowest price found so far at $68 including fees for at least one show on Vivid Seats. Other venues list prices from about $85 to $186, including fees. All prices are subject to change, and Vivid Seats is described as a verified secondary-market platform with a buyer guarantee. The tour opens Jan. 30, 2026 in Rosemont, Illinois at Allstate Arena and features high-demand stops in New York at UBS Arena and Madison Square Garden, then ends April 17 in Atlantic City. A complete calendar, venues and price links were provided by the New York Post.

Arjona released SECO, his 16th studio album, on January 17, 2025. The collection, which runs a little over a dozen tracks, blends lo-fi acoustic textures with straightforward rock, sentimental ballads and reggae-tinged pieces. Highlights cited by reviewers include the soaring anthem Luna, the fiery Poquita Fe, the bluesy Gritas, the vocal showcase Mujer and the propel-laden Motel Revolución, with the closing Todo Termina evoking emotion even for non-native Spanish speakers. The artist has teased that SECO expands his range while staying true to the storytelling that has defined his career.

In a post on Instagram, Arjona described the tour as a reunion with audiences, noting that he’s packing the songs in his suitcase, lining up the dates and dreaming of the moment when fans reconnect on stage. The message underscored a return to large-scale venues in the United States after his 2023 Blando y negro: Volver tour, highlighting the bond he shares with U.S. fans and the anticipation surrounding the 2026 dates.

Arjona’s expansive 2026 itinerary places him among a growing cohort of Latin artists touring North America in 2025 and 2026. Other major Latin acts on the road around the same time include Maná, Miguel Bosé, Camila, Jesse & Joy and Reik, underscoring a robust wave of Spanish-language live shows expected to draw audiences across the country.
