LOS ANGELES, CA - Latin music superstars Marco Antonio Solis and Marc Anthony with Laura Pausini, will headline this year’s JUNTOS EN CONCIERTO 2006 tour (Together in Concert 2006 tour). The 20-city JUNTOS EN CONCIERTO 2006 tour kicks off this Friday, July l4 at the Shoreline Amphitheater in San Jose, CA and makes its way to the Irvine Amphitheatre, Gibson Amphitheatre and more (see below for complete itinerary) for 20 special nights with three of Latin music’s greatest voices---each representing an important genre within Latin music. The tour is produced by Live Nation. Tickets are available through www.juntosenconcierto.com, all Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster over the phone.
The groundbreaking JUNTOS EN CONCIERTO series was launched by Live Nation last year, and its offering of three artists of such magnitude during one show was unprecedented in the Latin touring business. JUNTOS EN CONCIERTO became the summer’s hottest tour garnering critical acclaim, sold out audiences in every market and earned the title of “Hottest Tour of the Year” by People en Español.
JUNTOS EN CONCIERTO 2006 marks another year of firsts. ING has come on board as the tour’s first sponsor. Further, ING also brings with it the tour’s first charity, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), the nation’s leading organization supporting Hispanic higher education. As part of the sponsorship, $l00,000 will be donated to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund. Individual scholarships will be awarded to students in every one of the 20 cities on the tour.
THE ARTISTS - Each of the artists on JUNTOS EN CONCIERTO 2006 has a stellar recording and touring career of their own, so the tour is more than a concert, it’s an event. Every show is an opportunity for fans to see full sets by three of their favorite artists, each from a different branch of Latin music, including pop, Mexican regional and salsa, all on the same night.
