Fuerza Regida brought their historic stadium tour to a close last night in New York City — and they went out bang. At Citi Field, the música mexicana superstars were joined by 50 Cent, J Balvin, Bobby Shmurda, and more.
Back in June, Fuerza Regida embarked
on their most ambitious tour to date. Titled This is Our Dream, the trek marked the first time that a corridos band toured stadiums across the US. The nine-date tour included stops in San Francisco, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Houston, and New York City. Fuerza Regida’s frontman Jesús Ortiz Paz, who also goes by JOP, opened up about the tour for Rolling Stone’s April cover story. “I got the biggest pressure on my back, making sure we sell this out,” JOP said. “But I don’t worry. I wouldn’t be doing it if I knew I couldn’t.”
Fuerza Regida accomplished their mission with back-to-back sold-out shows, including a packed house at Citi Field last night. New York City icon 50 Cent pulled up to the show with his G-Unit associates Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo. JOP celebrated 50 Cent’s legacy by joining him to perform classics like “P.I.M.P.,” “Many Men,” “I Get Money,” and “What Up Gangsta.” There were more hip-hop moments during the show when JOP brought out Bobby Shmurda and Shoreline Mafia’s Fenix Flexin. The latter performed his breakthrough hit “Rubberz.”
Another surprise guest that JOP brought out was J Balvin. The Colombian superstar performed his Bad Bunny-assisted hit “La Canción.” JOP sang along to Bad Bunny’s verses of the song. In a nod to this year’s top-selling movie Spider-Man: A Brand New Day, JOP also opened the concert while dressed as the popular web-slinger.
In his parting words to NYC, JOP said, “We remember when we first came here and nobody knew who we were, and now we’re closing out the tour with a sold-out crowd. It’s a reminder that if you have a dream, chase it. Don’t wait for the right moment, time is money. Go get it.”
