Two of Medellín’s rising stars are going on tour together in the U.S. this fall. Today (July 8), Colombian singers Blessd and Ryan Castro announced the dates for their upcoming ¡Ay Bendito Ghetto! Tour 2024.
Following in the footsteps of Karol G, Feid, Maluma, and J Balvin, Blessd and Castro have emerged as the next Medellín natives to watch out for. Last month, Blessd released the surprise EP 1 of 1 with Maluma. His other hits include “Medallo” and “Si Sabe Ferxxo” featuring Feid. In May, Castro dropped his debut album, El Cantante Del Ghetto. That LP includes the song “Quema” featuring Peso Pluma. Now, Blessd and Castro are joining forces for a U.S. tour.
“This tour in the U.S. with Ryan is something very special for me because together we gained recognition from the same song [‘Quien TV’], and have proven that through our collaborative work, great results come about,” Blessd shared in a statement “Both our teams are very close and have a real brotherhood bond because we all know each other and have worked together in the past, so the shows we are going to give are going to be amazing!”
The ¡Ay Bendito Ghetto! Tour got its name after the nicknames of Blessd (“El Bendito”) and Ryan Castro (“El Cantante del Ghetto”). The tour will kick off on Oct. 31 at the San Jose Civic in San Jose, CA. Throughout November, Blessd and Castro will bring the hits to cities like Los Angeles, CA; San Diego, CA; Houston, TX; New Jersey, NJ; Washington, DC; and Orlando, FL. The tour will wrap up on Dec. 1 at the Gas South Arena in Atlanta, GA.
