David Bisbal in McAllen
David Bisbal returns to the U.S. stages with “BACK IN THE USA” Tour 2025.
After a spectacular year 2024 full of successes, awards and having conquered audiences around the world with his artistic versatility, his ability to reinvent himself and his immense charisma, David Bisbal returns to the United States to present his new show “Back in the Usa” Tour 2025, which includes a renewed repertoire that includes all his greatest hits, as well as the most recent songs of his discography.
Twenty concerts throughout the United States: Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Washington, among other cities.
With this new tour, David Bisbal has fulfilled one of his greatest artistic desires, returning after four years to the American continent to meet again with his beloved public, thus infecting us with his emotion and joy.
About David Bisbal
David Bisbal is an artist who has accumulated more than 80 national and international awards including 3 Latin Grammys, 3 Latin Billboard Awards, 3 World Music Awards and 2 Premios Ondas.
With more than 20 years of career in which he has achieved 11 Diamond Records and more than 5 million tickets sold of his more than 1000 concerts around the world in important venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, the O2 Arena in London, the Carnegie Hall, the Barclays Center in New York, the Teatro Real in Madrid or the Olympia in Paris.
David Bisbal, one of the most beloved artists in Spanish music, has closed the year 2024 with a new milestone in his career. His recent Christmas album, “Todo es Posible en Navidad”, under the production of Cheche Alara, has conquered both the sales charts and most listened albums as well as the hearts of the public, becoming a resounding success, reaching gold record certification being the best-selling album in Spain in recent weeks. It has achieved more than 360 million streams worldwide, has generated more than 360K creations in Tik Tok and has put its 10 songs in the top 200 of Spotify Spain, with 2 songs in the top 10: Todo es Posible en Navidad and El Burrito Sabanero, which could be said to have become the Christmas anthems of this year.
In addition, Bisbal has taken the Christmas spirit to various stages, such as the Adolfo Suárez Madrid – Barajas airport, as part of the Christmas ad for AENA (Spanish airport network), to the emblematic Puerta del Sol, with a performance that managed to thrill thousands of Madrilenians gathered in the famous square.
He also dressed up as Santa Claus with The Grefg, surprising the locals walking through the center of the city. Together with Cadena 100 he visited a school that won a Christmas carol contest, walked with Ibai through an emblematic Christmas venue in Barcelona and said goodbye to the year 2024 with a stellar performance from the Empire State Building in New York.
And as a finishing touch to all these actions, David Broncano wanted him to be present at the broadcasting of the Campanadas on TVE and, as an amulet, he wore the socks that David had sent him for the release of the new album.
