Mexican Music Icon Returns with Dual Celebration
Latin Grammy winner Alejandro Fernández, nicknamed “El Potrillo”, has set the music world ablaze with simultaneous announcements: a 2025 international tour titled “De Rey a Rey” (From King to King) and the release of his latest studio album Te Llevo en la Sangre. This marks his first major tour since 2023’s Amor y Patria series, which drew over 500,000 fans across North America.
A Nostalgic yet Modern Journey
The De Rey a Rey Tour will kick off March 1, 2025 in Heroica Puebla de Zaragoza before moving to León on March 8 – both cities deeply tied to Mexico’s mariachi heritage. Early promotional materials suggest Fernández will honor his father Vicente Fernández’s legacy while showcasing new material blending traditional ranchera with contemporary pop elements.
“This tour bridges generations,” Fernández stated during a recent press conference. “We’re celebrating Mexico’s musical roots while proving our culture evolves without losing its soul.”
Album Details & Collaborative Surprises
Te Llevo en la Sangre, releasing February 28, features 12 tracks including collaborations rumored to involve:
- Regional Mexican star Christian Nodal
- Spanish flamenco fusion artist Diego El Cigala
- A posthumous duet with his father using archival vocals
The album’s lead single “Sangre Real” debuted at #3 on Billboard’s Latin Digital Song Sales chart within 24 hours of release. Spotify data shows unprecedented engagement – streams increased 217% following the tour announcement.
Ticketing & Global Reach
Ticketmaster reports unprecedented demand for presale access codes ahead of March 5 general ticket sales. Industry analysts predict this could become Fernández’s highest-grossing tour yet, with potential extensions into:
| Region | Potential Cities |
|---|---|
| South America | Buenos Aires, Santiago |
| Europe | Madrid, Paris |
| Asia | Tokyo, Dubai |
The tour’s production reportedly includes holographic technology to recreate performances by late mariachi legends – an industry first for regional Mexican music.
