Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull, United Supermarkets Arena, Lubbock, Texas.
Enrique Iglesias and Pitbull, along with boy band CNCO as their opening act, wrapped up their joint 16-date summer tour last week, at Air Canada Centre, Toronto, but not before a June 25 , sold-out performance at Infinite Energy Arena, Duluth, Ga. The longtime collaborators encouraged the packed house to forget everything going on in the world and just be in the moment. The music-filled, Live Nation-promoted concert grossed nearly $900,000 with ticket prices ranging from $30 - $150. After a successful summer tour, the Latin superstars have added a fall leg to their tour starting Sept. 22 at Toyota Center, Houston; however, fans should get their tickets fast as shows are already selling out.
The Orange County Fair’s Summer Concert Series is back this year at the Pacific Amphitheatre, Costa Mesa, Calif., with two pre-fair performances by Steel Pulse, July 8-9, grossing nearly $350,000. The Grammy Award-winning, roots reggae band had the 9,500 fans on their feet with music that included many fan favorites that span a 35-year career. Concertgoers also received a bonus entry into the fair with every ticket purchased. Next up in the concert series is Kenny Loggins, July 12.
