Juanes Colombia 2026: The Homecoming
Juanes closes his 2026 world tour where it matters most: November 14 at Sabaneta’s new DAVIarena in the Aburrá Valley, then November 20 at Bogotá’s Movistar Arena.
The Medellín-area date is the emotional one — Juanes was born in Carolina del Príncipe, Antioquia, and his Antioquian shows have the weight of a homecoming ritual.
From Ekhymosis to Icon
Before the solo superstardom, Juanes fronted Medellín metal band Ekhymosis; the transformation into Latin America’s defining pop-rock voice made ‘A Dios Le Pido’ and ‘La Camisa Negra’ pan-Latin anthems.
His live band remains one of the tightest in Latin music — the tours are built musicianship-first, which is why they fill arenas three decades in.
Two New-Era Venues
Both stops showcase Colombia’s venue boom: the DAVIarena in Sabaneta is the Aburrá Valley’s newest big room, while Bogotá’s Movistar Arena was recently ranked the world’s No. 1 in its capacity class by Pollstar.
For expats, both are rideshare-easy; in Sabaneta, the metro’s southern line gets you within reach of the venue district.
Practical Tips for Expats
Tickets run through Ticketmaster Colombia; homecoming shows sell on emotion, so early lots are the smart buy.
In Medellín, combine the Sabaneta show with the town’s famous year-end lights season starting around the same weeks.
