Overview

  • Julión Álvarez's May 24 concert at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, was postponed after his U.S. work visa was unexpectedly cancelled, preventing his entry into the country.
  • The cancellation occurred despite the stage being set up and production crews already in Texas preparing for the sold-out event, which had nearly 50,000 tickets sold.
  • Álvarez's team and promoters CMN and Copar Music have assured fans that tickets will be honored for a rescheduled date, with refunds available for those unable to attend.
  • Álvarez previously faced a U.S. visa revocation in 2017 due to allegations of cartel ties, but he was cleared in 2022 and had recently made a U.S. comeback with three sold-out shows in Los Angeles.
  • The incident highlights ongoing visa challenges for international artists, with similar issues recently causing the cancellation of Chicago's Michelada Fest.
