Netón Vega: A Rising Star’s First U.S. Tour
A Grateful Journey
Netón Vega is set to embark on his inaugural U.S. tour, a milestone for the 22-year-old Mexican singer-songwriter. With a sense of gratitude, Vega shares, “It’s been months of non-stop work, first releasing my music and now, thank God, announcing my first tour in the United States.” His excitement resonates deeply, especially as he acknowledges the support from his Mexican roots and the broader Latin community.
Navigating Immigration Challenges
Vega’s success comes at a pivotal moment for many artists facing stricter immigration policies. While several Mexican musicians have experienced delays or denials in obtaining work visas, he recognizes the privilege of having this essential documentation, stating, “I’m very fortunate to have my work visa because, thanks to it, I’ll be able to bring my music to the people who follow me.”
The 30-Date Spectacle
Kicking off on June 27 at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California, Vega’s 30-date tour is in support of his acclaimed debut album Mi Vida, Mi Muerte, which soared to No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Albums chart. The excitement surrounding his shows is palpable; tickets for the opening concert sold out in under two hours. Fans can anticipate stops in major cities like Chicago, Boston, Seattle, Houston, Las Vegas, Dallas, and a grand performance at Los Angeles’ BMO Stadium on August 23, featuring special guests Yeri Mua and Víctor Mendívil.
Music Behind the Magic
Before stepping into the spotlight, Vega was a composer for notable stars like Peso Pluma and Luis R. Conriquez. However, in late 2022, he seized control of his artistic direction. His effort has paid off, as tracks like “Loco,” “Morena,” and “M&M” have collectively garnered over 800 million streams, escalating his Spotify monthly listeners to about 31 million.
Growing the Team
With his rising popularity, Vega took the initiative to expand his team. Partnering with Music Vip Entertainment, led by Isael Gutiérrez—who recently made Billboard’s Indie Power Players list—he arranged for a two-hour show filled with engaging elements. Julián Gutiérrez, the head of production and logistics, reveals, “There are several surprises; there will be dancers and choreography for nine songs, along with spectacular moments.” Such dedication promises an unforgettable experience for fans.
New Music on the Horizon
As Vega prepares for touring, he continues to foster his artistry. He recently dropped a single titled “Qué Motor” on June 20, showcasing his hip-hop prowess. “Sometimes you rack your brain trying to find the perfect song, and it comes when you least expect it,” he reflects. This track, in particular, resonated with him, making it one of his most genuine creations to date.
Collaboration Buzz
Speculation about Vega’s projects is rife, especially concerning a potential collaboration with Belinda for the track “+Perra +Bitch.” While some rumors suggest that a music video is already in production, Vega clarifies that while plans exist for collaboration, the images shared online were taken during their song recording session. “It’s planned, and we’ll do it at some point,” he confirms, adding a layer of intrigue for fans.
Engaging with the Community
Vega’s journey is more than just music; it’s about connecting with his audience on multiple levels. His incredible rise from a less-known artist to a mainstream sensation serves as an inspiration, not just to his peers but to the entire Latin music community. As he steps onto stages across the U.S., fans eagerly await the vibrant performances that showcase his unique artistry and storytelling ability.
