Ahead of celebrating his 50-year career, Pedro Fernández will take his Ave Fénix Two’R 2026 to 13 cities across the United States — for the first time in partnership with Live Nation — beginning this Thursday at the YouTube Theater in Los Angeles. The trek, which follows his 2025 Ave Fénix Tour, includes stops at major venues such as the Madison Square Garden in New York City, the Rosemont Theatre in Chicago, the Pearl Concert Theater at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, the Payne Arena in Hidalgo, Texas, and the Cal Credit Union Open Air Theatre in San Diego, where the journey will conclude on Dec. 5. “I’m happy to be back with the U.S. audience with this wonderful production, for which we’ve worked on a special repertoire and many surprises,” the ranchera music singer and actor tells Billboard Español . “Interacting with them and bringing them my music, and above all the joy and a little piece of our Mexico, is very gratifying.” Fernández returns to the U.S. after having performed sporadic shows during his previous tour last year, following the release of his album Te Doy La Vida in 2024, his first in six years. The name of the tour (Spanish for “Phoenix Bird”), he explains, signifies the beginning of a new chapter after spending some time away from recording. Next year, the artist born José Martín Cuevas Cobos will celebrate half a century since his debut in music as a child, adopting his stage name from his two idols: Pedro Infante and Vicente Fernández. His career took off shortly after, at just 9 years old, when he starred in the film La Niña de la Mochila Azul and released a song and album of the same name. Since then, he has appeared in about 25 films and several telenovelas and has released musical hits that have charted on Billboard , such as “Mi Forma de Sentir,” “Quién” and “Sin Verte” — all of which reached the top 10 on the Hot Latin Songs, Latin Airplay and Regional Mexican Airplay charts — while in 2010 his album Amarte A La Antigua spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Top Regional Mexican Albums chart and entered the all-genre Billboard 200. Fernández, 57, discusses his return to the U.S. stages and his upcoming anniversary. What can fans expect from your show? The show follows the same concept as always, but it will adapt to different venues. The setlist has a backbone of songs that have been hits in my career, along with some new music, and we have a portion open to spontaneity — meaning something the audience requests that we’ll gladly include on the spot. Live Nation is betting on Pedro Fernández’s career. What does this mean to you? I’m very grateful, first to the audience and also to the media because they’re our partners. But I’m also thankful to Live Nation because they’re allowing me to bring a project with a great production to the U.S. market, which has always supported me. The tour includes very important venues.
