Carlos Rivera and Reik in Ecuador: Joint Tour Plays Quito on 5 November and Guayaquil on 7 November
Carlos Rivera Reik Ecuador 2026 brings the Mexican singer and the pop trio onto one stage for the first time, in Quito on Thursday 5 November and in Guayaquil on Saturday 7 November, with TicketShow seats from US$40.
The Mexican singer Carlos Rivera and the Mexican trio Reik play two concerts in Ecuador in November 2026. They appear in Quito on Thursday 5 November and in Guayaquil on Saturday 7 November.
Key Facts
- Dates and venues. Quito on Thursday 5 November 2026 at the Coliseo General Rumiñahui, then Guayaquil on Saturday 7 November at the Estadio Modelo Alberto Spencer Herrera, in the half-stadium layout the promoter calls Medio Estadio. Both nights are listed to start at 7 p.m. local time.
- Who is on stage. Carlos Rivera is a Mexican singer and Reik a Mexican pop trio, and each has toured Ecuador alone before, Rivera three years ago and Reik two. For these two nights they share a single stage.
- Why it matters here. It is the first time the two acts have brought a shared tour to Ecuador, and the Guayaquil night is Rivera’s first concert in that city. Shared bills of this kind are how markets outside the largest Latin American stops get booked, with two names splitting the costs.
- Tickets. TicketShow is the official vendor, online and at its counters in Riocentro shopping centres. Quito runs from US$48 to US$240 and Guayaquil from US$40 to US$220, before value added tax and the service charge.
- Not published. Doors-open times, a support act and a set list had not been published when this article was filed. Remaining seats by price tier were not shown either.
Carlos Rivera Reik Ecuador 2026: Two Nights, Two Cities
Carlos Rivera and Reik perform together in Ecuador on two nights in November 2026. Quito comes first on Thursday 5 November, and Guayaquil follows on Saturday 7 November.
It is the first time the two Mexican acts have shared a single tour in Ecuador, after years of visiting the country separately. The Ecuadorian promoter Top Shows books both nights, and the sale runs through TicketShow, the vendor named on both event pages.
The Quito Night at the Coliseo General Rumiñahui
The Quito concert takes place on Thursday 5 November 2026 at the Coliseo General Rumiñahui, an indoor arena close to the city centre. The promoter lists the start at 7 p.m. Quito time.
The arena stands on Avenida Diego Ladrón de Guevara and holds about 16,750 people. It sits well inside the city, and most visitors reach it by taxi or by ride application rather than by public transport.
The Guayaquil Night at the Alberto Spencer Stadium
Guayaquil follows on Saturday 7 November 2026 at the Estadio Modelo Alberto Spencer Herrera. The start is again 7 p.m., Guayaquil time, which is the same clock as Quito.
The promoter calls the layout Medio Estadio, which means only half the ground is used. The ground holds about 42,000 people for football matches, so the reduced concert layout is considerably smaller than that.
What the Tickets Cost in Each City
Quito prices start at US$48 for general admission and reach US$240 for a premium box. Between them sit the Preferencia tier, a raised seating area, at US$110 and seated tiers at US$150 and US$180.
Guayaquil starts lower, at US$40 for general admission, and tops out at US$220 for a premium box. Tribuna, the stadium’s main stand, costs US$75, and the Preferencia tier costs US$95.
How the Sale Has Run Since July
Tickets went on presale on Friday 24 July 2026 for holders of cards from Produbanco, an Ecuadorian bank. That presale ran until 26 July, with a discount of 10 percent and an option to pay in instalments.
General sale opened on Monday 27 July 2026 through TicketShow, online and at its counters. Listed prices exclude value added tax and the service charge.
Where This Sits in the Touring Cycle
Carlos Rivera last played Ecuador three years ago, and this is his first concert in Guayaquil. Reik last toured Ecuador two years ago, so each act arrives with an audience that has waited a while.
Shared bills of this kind are a common pattern in markets that sit outside the largest stops on a Latin American tour. Two names split the costs, and together they fill rooms that one act alone might not.
Practical Notes for Foreign Residents
Ecuador has used the US dollar as its national currency since 2000, so these prices need no conversion. A foreign card is therefore charged in the same currency as the listing.
Quito sits about 2,850 metres above sea level, and people arriving from Guayaquil or the coast often notice the thin air. Both shows are sung in Spanish, and photo identification is worth carrying at the door.
What Has Not Been Published
Neither the promoter nor the vendor had published a doors-open time when this article was filed. A support act and a running order had not been named either.
Set lists and any further date were also missing, and remaining seats by price tier were not shown. Promoters in Ecuador usually confirm those details in the final two weeks before a concert of this size.
