Due to overwhelming demand, Guatemalan singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona has announced a second concert date in El Salvador as part of his "Lo que el Seco no dijo" tour. The initial concert, scheduled for October 31 at the Estadio Cuscatlรกn, sold out quickly, prompting organizers to add an additional performance on November 1 at the same venue. This marks a return to El Salvador, nearly a year after the tour began its extensive 27-show run at the Miguel รngel Asturias Cultural Center.
The decision to add a second date was announced by promoter Two Shows, who stated, "At the request of the public, we return for one more date. Because 'the problem is not a problem...' if you can sing it with Ricardo Arjona." The Estadio Cuscatlรกn, one of the largest venues in Central America and the Caribbean with a capacity exceeding 44,000 spectators, is expected to resonate with Arjona's hits, including "Grita," "Ella," "Mujer," and "Despacio que hay prisa," alongside career-defining songs like "Lo poco que tengo" and "El problema."
Tickets for the second concert went on sale July 3 through official channels managed by Fun Capital and Todoticket El Salvador. Prices for the second show range from $65 for seats like "Sombra" and "Tribuna" to $235 for the "Ultra Platinum" section, with additional ticketing charges applied. The first concert's ticket sales were reportedly a record, highlighting Arjona's significant popularity in the region.
Arjona's tour continues with upcoming dates in Argentina, followed by seven concerts in Colombia, and two each in Ecuador and Costa Rica. He will also perform in Nicaragua and Honduras before heading to Mexico in November, where 19 concerts are currently scheduled. The addition of a second El Salvador date underscores the artist's strong connection with his Salvadoran fanbase.
At the request of the public, we return for one more date. Because 'the problem is not a problem...' if you can sing it with Ricardo Arjona.
