Los Lobos Kicks Off 2026 Tour with Exciting New Dates
As the year begins, Los Lobos is already making waves with an extensive lineup of concerts planned, including 10 new dates set to go on sale this Friday, January 9. The legendary Mexican-American rock band will commence their spring tour with two performances in California starting March 27, followed by four shows in Virginia beginning April 16. The tour is slated to conclude with a four-night residency in Park City, Utah.
Upcoming Concerts and Tour Schedule
Before diving into their spring tour, Los Lobos will warm up with their first official concert of the new year on January 10 in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Following a series of scattered dates through early February, fans are invited to join the band as they embark on a European journey in 2026, with performances planned in Spain and Italy, including a grand finale in Rome before returning to the U.S. for more concerts starting February 28.
Resilience and Recovery
This resurgence comes at a time of renewed energy for the band, who faced challenges last year, including the cancellation of a co-headlining tour with punk legends X and health issues affecting multi-instrumentalist Louie Perez. Thankfully, Perez has made a full recovery, allowing the band to continue sharing their music with fans worldwide.
Los Lobos’ Recent Projects
Los Lobos, known for their vibrant rendition of Richie Valens’ “La Bamba,” has been a musical force for over five decades. While it has been some time since their last album of original material, “Gates of Gold,” released in 2015, the band is far from inactive. They released a Christmas album in 2019 and their 2021 project “Native Sons,” which paid homage to their Los Angeles roots with covers of local artists’ songs, alongside an original title track.
Contributions to Music History
In addition to their own projects, Los Lobos recently contributed a cover of Willie Dixon’s “Three Hundred Pounds of Joy” to a commemorative box set celebrating the 50th anniversary of Austin’s iconic Antone’s club. The venue has been instrumental in their career, and band member Steve Berlin shared a heartfelt message on Instagram about their longstanding relationship with the Antone family, recounting a pivotal moment in their early career when they were rescued from a difficult situation thanks to the club’s support.
