September is synonymous with national pride in Mexico, and this 2024 brings an additional reason to celebrate. Singer and guitarist Carin León, originally from Hermosillo, Sonora, became the first Mexican artist to announce a residency at The Sphere in Las Vegas, one of the most innovative and spectacular venues in the world.
The announcement was made on September 11, when the singer of “Primera Cita” surprised his millions of fans by confirming that he will headline a series of presentations in September 2026, coinciding with the Mexican Independence Day festivities in Las Vegas, Nevada.
According to official information, Carin León will offer three concerts on September 11, 12 and 13, 2026, in what promises to be an unprecedented show for regional Mexican music.
During these presentations, the Sonoran singer will bring to the stage some of his most representative hits, such as “Primera Cita”, “Te lo agradezco” and “Necesito Encontrarte”, songs that have established him as one of the most powerful voices in the genre today.
With capacity for 18,600 people, The Sphere has become an icon of live entertainment since its opening in 2023. Located in the heart of Las Vegas, this venue is distinguished by its ultra-definition LED screens that cover the entire structure, generating a unique immersive experience for the audience.
In addition, it has an advanced directional sound system, which allows each attendee to enjoy the music with the same quality regardless of their location. World-class artists such as U2, Eagles and Backstreet Boys have already performed on its stage, but it will be Carin León who will set a precedent by being the first Mexican and Spanish-speaking artist to perform in his own residence.
Carín León and her great pride
In an interview with El País, Carin expressed what this achievement means for his career: “I feel very proud and excited to be the first Spanish-speaking artist to set foot in the most innovative and advanced venue in the world. It is an honor to be able to take our regional Mexican music there and demonstrate that what comes from our land can be heard in any corner of the planet. Arriba Hermosillo. From Sonora to the world.
His words reflect not only the importance of this step in his artistic career, but also the cultural impact it represents for Mexican music on international stages.
The residency will be produced by AEG Presents, one of the most important companies in the organization of live shows worldwide. Each performance is expected to combine the power of regional Mexican music with the cutting-edge technology of The Sphere, offering a show that will remain in the memory of the audience.
Although Carin León has already performed in Las Vegas at venues such as the MGM Grand, this will be the first time that an artist of the regional genre achieves a residency in such an iconic setting, which places him on the same level as renowned international figures.
With barely a decade of experience, Carin León has established herself as one of the most relevant figures in Mexican music. Her fresh style, which mixes tradition with modernity, has allowed her to conquer not only the public in Mexico, but also audiences in the United States, Latin America and Europe.
The announcement of his residency at The Sphere confirms that the Sonoran singer is ready to continue taking regional Mexican music to new heights, demonstrating that the music born in the north of the country has the strength to conquer the most prestigious stages on the planet.
