Maná announces groundbreaking tour, surpassing Bruce Springsteen and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
A red flag warning and a rip current statement are currently in effect for six regions in the area. Mexican pop-rock band Maná is set to make history this fall by surpassing Bruce Springsteen’s record for the most arena shows in Los Angeles with 44 shows during their new arena tour. The band, celebrating its 40th anniversary next year, will kick off the Vivir Sin Aire Tour on September 5 at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, with the final show scheduled for April 4, 2026, at the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Named after their hit song from the 1992 album “¿Dónde Jugarán Los Niños?” the tour will include a four-night residency at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, breaking Springsteen’s previous record. In addition to touring several cities for the first time, Maná will continue their tradition of using tour proceeds to fund charitable initiatives. This time, part of the profits will go towards their “Latinas Luchonas” program in honor of Fher Olvera’s late mother, assisting single mothers.
Drummer Alex González emphasizes that their live shows serve as a celebration of the Latin community, where audiences can enjoy classic hits like “Rayando el Sol” and “Oye Mi Amor.” While fans can anticipate hearing these favorites, Maná has no immediate plans for a new album, as they are currently focused on their upcoming tour. Despite the lack of new music, the band recently received a nomination for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, making history as the first fully Spanish-language act to be nominated.
This nomination holds special significance for guitarist Sergio Vallín, who believes it is a positive step for the Latino community. The band dedicated their nomination to all Latinos, particularly immigrants who are facing challenges in the current social and political climate. Emphasizing the importance of the Latino community in the U.S. workforce and economy, González highlights the dedication of these individuals and their contributions to society.
Amidst ongoing social and political issues, Maná remains committed to spreading a positive message through their music and performances. Vocalist Fher Olvera encourages Latinos to recognize their political power while inviting the community to come together at their concerts to sing, dance, and embrace unity. Despite past controversies, the band remains focused on providing fans with an escape from the challenges of daily life, offering an opportunity to celebrate and enjoy their music together.
