Montaner’s Farewell Tour Opened Its Second Leg With Four Straight Sell-Outs

Ricardo Montaner announced his retirement from large-scale international touring in November 2023, with his farewell tour, titled "The Last Return," opening its second leg on 18 August. The tour has already achieved four sold-out shows in a row, taking the total to approximately thirty dates. The four recent sold-out shows occurred in Barranquilla, Atlanta, Houston, and Dallas.

The Puerto de Oro convention center in Barranquilla, which hosted one of the shows, has a capacity of around 6,760 people, making it a convention center rather than a stadium. Earlier, the tour covered Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Ecuador, and Colombia, with eleven consecutive sold-out nights in Mexico. Two Colombian dates were rescheduled due to political events, such as a presidential inauguration in Cali and protests over property-tax revaluations in Bucaramanga.

Montaner's audience is multigenerational, consisting of people who listened to his records in the 1990s, as well as younger fans who grew up watching his family on television. His catalogue is popular for weddings and first dances in many Latin American countries. The remaining Latin American dates, Cali and Bucaramanga, were rescheduled due to a presidential inauguration in Cali and protests in Bucaramanga, indicating that these are the last easily accessible shows in the region.
