Colombian icon Carlos Vives is set to bring his signature sound and unshakable energy back to Miami for his Tour Al Sol 2026, performing at the Kaseya Center on May 23, 2026. Fresh off being honored as the 2024 Latin Recording Academy’s Person of the Year, an accolade that turned Miami into a week-long celebration of his career, Vives steps into this new era carrying the warmth, rhythm, and joy that have made him one of the most beloved artists in Latin music. From his early days blending vallenato with pop and rock to becoming one of Colombia’s best-selling artists, Vives’s music has always been a celebration of home, hope, and heart — a sound that feels like sunlight in motion.
Tour Al Sol promises to be a journey through Vives’s 30-year career, symbolically following the path of the sun. Each performance is designed to unfold like a day, beginning with dawn and the promise of renewal, then bursting into the midday energy of celebration before closing with the golden nostalgia of sunset. The show is anchored by a striking visual design where the emblematic sun of “La Provincia” rises at the start of the night, bathing the stage in light that grows and changes as the concert progresses. It’s a fitting tribute to the band that helped define his sound and to the fans who have followed his warmth for decades.
Audiences can expect to hear the songs that shaped Latin pop’s evolution — timeless hits like “Fruta Fresca,” “Bailar Contigo,” and, of course, songs included in La Tierra del Olvido, which turns 30 this year. That record remains one of Vives’s most iconic works, a cultural touchstone that bridged Colombia’s folk tradition with modern production and global appeal. But the show will also spotlight more recent releases, including music from El Último Disco, proof that Vives continues to push forward while honoring the roots that made him a pioneer.
