Emilia Sells Out 10 Dates at Movistar Arena in 10 Hours: ‘Fans Are Connecting With My Music’
Emilia is closing 2023 with a historic career achievement — selling out 10 shows at the Movistar Arena in Buenos Aires in only 10 hours.
The record-breaking news occurred Monday (Dec. 4) as part of the Argentine pop star’s .mp3 tour in 2024. She has surpassed the previous record held by Luis Miguel, who sold out nine dates in one day at the venue with another date added later. Billboard can confirm that, to date, only Emilia and “El Sol de México” have achieved this feat.
The concerts are set to take place at the venue on April 6, 7, 19, 20, 21 and 23, and May 3, 29-31 for a collective audience of more than 100,000 fans.
“Having sold out shows in my career is truly special,” Emilia tells Billboard exclusively. “To me it basically means my fans are connecting with my music. I am so thankful. I know I say it all the time, but it goes back to believing in yourself, because dreams do come true if you work for them.”
The 27-year-old artist — who’s currently making the rounds with her sophomore studio album .mp3 — says she’s ready for the intense vocal and dance rehearsals because “I want every detail of the performances to be just right. It’s all about creating an unforgettable experience for my fans.”
She also shared details on what fans can expect from her hometown concerts.
“The stage will be decked out with eye-catching sets. I’m taking fans back to the 2000s, and there will be so many surprises,” she notes. “People can also expect a blending of some of my classic [songs] like ‘420,’ ‘La Chain’ and ‘Como Si No Importara’ with the fresh tracks from my new album.”
Emilia has placed various entries on the Billboard charts, including Latin Pop Airplay, Billboard Global 200, and Global Excl. U.S., in addition to three No. 1 hits on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 chart.
In addition to her Movistar Arena run, concert dates in Rosario, Córdoba, Montevideo, Salta and Asunción were also unveiled. For more information, visit Emilia’s official website.
