El Alfa will be bringing dembow to the U.S. this winter. Today (June 5), the Dominican superstar announced the dates for his upcoming La Leyenda del Dembow Tour.

Throughout his career, El Alfa has helped globalize dembow. In 2021, he became the first artist in the genre to sell out a headlining concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Artists like Bad Bunny, Daddy Yankee, Major Lazer, and Lil Jon have embraced dembow music by collaborating with him.

This winter, El Alfa will embark on his La Leyenda del Dembow Tour. The trek will kick off on Oct. 12 in Houston, TX. Throughout November and December, El Alfa will perform concerts in major cities like Los Angeles, Miami, Boston, Orlando, and Chicago. He will also return to Madison Square Garden, though that concert is already sold-out.

Pre-sale tickets for La Leyenda del Dembow Tour went on sale today. Tickets to the general public will be released on Wednesday, June 7, at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can purchase tickets through Ticketmaster, AXS, or ATG tickets. El Alfa’s tour will wrap up in Illinois on Dec. 15. 

Earlier today, El Alfa was added to the line-up for Rolling Loud Miami. He will make history at the festival as the first dembow artist to perform at any Rolling Loud event. Anuel AA was also added to the line-up. The Puerto Rican singer will become the first reggaeton artist to appear at the festival. Rising Puerto Rican rapper Yovngchimi and superstar Ice Spice will also rep our Latine communities at Rolling Loud Miami as well. The festival will take place from July 21 to 23 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL.

Recently, Mexican rapper and singer Peso Pluma took a trip to the Dominican Republic. While there, he reportedly recorded a collaboration and music video with El Alfa.
