Two Bachata Giants, One Stage

For anyone new to Latin music, bachata is a romantic guitar-driven style born in the Dominican Republic. Romeo Santos and Prince Royce are its two biggest global ambassadors. Santos, formerly the lead voice of Aventura, built a solo career on hits such as “Propuesta Indecente” and “Eres Mía.” Prince Royce crossed over with bilingual tracks including “Darte un Beso” and “Corazón Sin Cara.”

Romeo Santos and Prince Royce share the bill under the tour name Mejor Tarde Que Nunca, which translates as “better late than never”. For expats and travellers in Mexico City, it is a chance to see two of bachata’s best-known names in one evening. No official setlist has been published.

Dates, Times and Ticket Prices

The tour plays the Palacio de los Deportes on Sunday 25 October 2026 at 19:00 and on Monday 26 October 2026 at 20:00 local time. Confirm the time for your night on Ticketmaster México before you travel.

Mexican outlet Los40 published price tiers including service charges: Nivel E at MX$1,227.50 (about US$67), Nivel D at MX$2,095.50 (about US$115), Nivel C at MX$4,079.50 (about US$223), Nivel A at MX$4,947.50 (about US$270) and Nivel B at MX$5,691.50 (about US$311). Conversions use the RT rate of 2 October 2026, about MX$18.3 per US$. Other guides list wider ranges, so confirm the total at checkout.

Buy through Ticketmaster México, the official seller. Resale marketplaces carry added risk and their prices change in real time. Check the date, seating section and total amount before you pay.

Getting to Palacio de los Deportes

The Palacio de los Deportes is on Avenida Río Churubusco at Añil, in Granjas México, Iztacalco, in eastern Mexico City. The nearest Metro station is Velódromo on Line 9, a short walk from the arena. For most visitors staying in Roma, Condesa or the Centro Histórico, the Metro is a practical option, although ride-hailing apps are widely used.

Traffic around the venue can be heavy on event nights. If you take a taxi or app-based car, leave extra time and arrange a pickup point away from the main entrance. The area around the Palacio is busy but generally manageable with normal city precautions.

For expats unfamiliar with Mexico City, keep your ticket on your phone, carry a physical ID, and avoid buying from street resellers near the venue. Official Ticketmaster digital tickets are the safest option.

What Else to Do Nearby

Iztacalco is not a major tourist district, but the venue is a short Metro ride from more central areas. Before the show, you could explore the canals of Xochimilco to the south or the markets of La Merced closer to the centre. Both are reachable by public transport, though Xochimilco requires more time.

If you are in Mexico City for the weekend, the Sunday show leaves the day free for museums such as the Museo Nacional de Antropología or a walk through Chapultepec Park. The Monday performance suits those who prefer a quieter start to the week.
