Mexican singer Julión Álvarez announced the postponement of his Saturday concert at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, saying his work visa had been revoked.
Álvarez, show promoter CMN and management company Copar Music said the show had been canceled “due to unforeseen circumstances” and that Álvarez was “unable to enter the United States in time for the event.”
The 42-year-old musician further explained the postponement to his fans on Instagram Friday, saying in a video that they were formally notified on May 23 that the work visas for Álvarez and his bandmates were canceled ahead of the May 24 concert.
“Visa records are confidential under U.S. law; therefore, we cannot comment on individual cases,” a State Department spokesperson told NBC News when asked for comment.
Nearly 50,000 tickets were sold for Saturday’s show, according to the artist’s statement. Promoters and Álvarez’s team said they are actively working to reschedule the performance and all previously purchased tickets will be eligible for the new date.
If patrons cannot attend the new date, details will be provided for requesting a refund, the statement said.
Saturday’s performance would have been Álvarez’s fourth U.S. show on the “4218 Tour USA 2025,” following three shows in April at SoFi Stadium in California.
