Julión Álvarez Montelongo, idol of regional Mexican music, made an impressive return to the stage on April 17 with the first of three concerts at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. He became the only Latin artist to achieve this feat, sharing the accomplishment only with Beyoncé and The Rolling Stones.
After overcoming accusations of money laundering by the U.S. Department of the Treasury in 2017, Julión has put that chapter behind him and embarked on his "4218" tour. In addition to his performance in California, he is scheduled to perform at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, home of the Dallas Cowboys, on May 24.
Julión began his solo career after leaving Banda MS in 2006, accompanied by his Norteño Banda. This fusion of northern and Sinaloan sounds gave a fresh approach to regional Mexican music. His positive and cheerful attitude has been key to his success, earning him the nickname 'the king of the box office.'
The singer, known for his songs about love and heartbreak, has garnered multiple hits in his 18 years of career. Although he does not specialize in singing corridos, he has gained public acceptance with songs such as “La María,” “Las Mulas de Moreno,” “Ni lo intentes,” “Dime,” “Te hubieras ido antes,” and many more.
Julión Álvarez has had notable achievements, such as being a judge on La Voz México and collaborating with Juan Gabriel on the song “La Frontera.” His arrival in the United States could mark the start of a tour through Central and South America, where he has a base of eager fans waiting to see him perform.
Julión Álvarez's return to the stage in the United States has been met with great enthusiasm by thousands of fans who were looking forward to enjoying his music live.
