Mexican star Carín León is set to make history as the first Latin artist to perform at Sphere in Las Vegas.
The Sonora-born, música Mexicana hitmaker announced on Thursday (Sept. 11) a run of shows in the groundbreaking venue that will take place Sept. 11-13, 2026. Produced by AEG Presents, the three back-to-back dates will be part of Las Vegas’ annual Mexican Independence Day weekend festivities.
According to a press release, fans will experience visual displays and staging “never before seen” in Spanish-language music, where León will utilize Sphere’s “next-generation” technology, including the world’s highest-resolution LED display that wraps up, over and around the audience, “creating a fully immersive visual environment.”

Sphere officially opened in September 2023 and has since hosted residencies by U2, Backstreet Boys and the Eagles, to name a few. Becoming the first Latin artist to perform there is another milestone and history-making feat for León who, in March 2025, became the first Mexican artist to perform on the main stage at the RodeoHouston, while setting a historic attendance record for a Hispanic artist by drawing over 70,000 people.
“I need to change the game,” León told Billboard about his global vision back in June. “I’m hungry to make history, to be the one and only. I’m so ambitious with what I want to do with the music. It’s always the music. She’s the boss.”
Most recently, León, known for his signature norteño sound, fused with R&B, country and pop, released his latest cross-genre collaboration, “Lost In Translation,” with Kacey Musgraves.
Presale for León’s Sphere dates will begin Sept. 23 at noon PT. Tickets go on sale to the general public Sept. 26 at noon PT at CarinLeon.com.
Carín León is set to speak at the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Week, slated to run Oct. 20-24 at the Fillmore Miami Beach. The week will feature panels, live performances, workshops, and networking events, wrapping up with a special celebration concert on Oct. 24. The event aligns with the 2025 Billboard Latin Music Awards, airing live from Miami on Thursday, Oct. 23 on Telemundo and Peacock. Tickets for Latin Music Week 2025 are now available at BillboardLatinMusicWeek.com.
