Mexican singer-songwriter Codiciado has postponed six of the 14 dates initially announced for his Ando Enfocado U.S. tour, reducing it to eight for the time being, Live Nation confirmed to Billboard Español.
The tour is still scheduled to kick off on September 27 at the Brooklyn Paramount in New York. However, performances in Charlotte, N.C. (Oct. 3), Miami (Oct. 4), Atlanta (Oct. 6), and the Texas cities of San Antonio (Oct. 11), Hidalgo (Oct. 12) and El Paso (Oct. 18) have been suspended.
Representatives from Live Nation expressed their ongoing commitment to the artist via email, describing Codiciado as “a great partner and a super-talented artist.” Live Nation added, “We are still in the planning stages for 2025, so we do not have anything about the tour that we can share yet.”
The Tijuana-born artist returns to the U.S. stage after more than five years, a hiatus due to visa issues. The Ando Enfocado U.S. tour kicked off with five dates, the first of which took place on April 26 at the Hard Rock Live in Sacramento, California, where he broke attendance records for the venue, according to a press release.
Recently, Codiciado (real name Erick de Jesus Aragon Alcantar) was honored with a special proclamation by Mayor John McCann of Chula Vista, Calif. The award, presented at City Hall last Wednesday (Sept. 4), recognized his “outstanding career and invaluable artistic contributions to the San Diego community and beyond,” said a press release.
The musician, who was Billboard‘s Latin Artist on the Rise in June, continues to make waves on stage. Last weekend, he performed at the Arre Festival in Mexico City, and next weekend he is poised to appear at Rumbazo 2024, the two-day Mexican Independence Day weekend fiesta taking place Sept. 13-14 in Las Vegas, where he will be one of the main artists on the bill.
