The city of Medellín witnessed a defining cultural moment on November 29th as global superstar J Balvin delivered a landmark, sold-out homecoming show at Estadio Atanasio Girardot. Six years in the making, the performance unfolded as a vibrant celebration of music, community, and the creative force that continues to position Medellín at the center of global culture. Fans entered an immersive ‘Ciudad Primavera’ universe, surrounded by installations honoring Balvin’s iconic eras and welcomed with flowers that set the tone for a night rooted in gratitude and artistic reinvention. Taking command of a 360-degree stage with world-class production, explosive visuals, and a cast of more than 70 dancers—56 of them Colombian—Balvin brought each chapter of his musical evolution to life with cinematic scale.
The night featured one of the most impressive guest lists ever assembled on a Colombian stage, uniting generations of artists alongside the emblematic ‘Latino Gang’ spirit. The star-studded roster included Latin music heavyweights Daddy Yankee, Maluma, Farruko, Feid, and Ryan Castro, alongside international powerhouses 50 Cent and DJ Snake. The stage continued to ignite with special performances by Reykon, Nio García, Golpe a Golpe, Rayo y Toby, Final, Eladio Carrión, Justin Quiles, Lenny Tavarez, Jory Boy, Daelcom, Lennox, Kapo, De La Ghetto, Jowell y Randy, Tito El Bambino, Chencho Corleone, Yandel, and Kris R. This monumental homecoming arrives on the heels of Balvin’s announcement of a major Mexico arena tour in May 2026, following his show-stopping performance at Coca-Cola Flow Fest and the growing global resonance of ‘Mixteip’, his critically acclaimed project recently nominated for the 2026 GRAMMY Awards for Best Música Urbana Album. The celebration extended beyond the stadium, with the Medellín Metro adopting concert-inspired visuals and J Balvin unveiling his ‘Beyond Flowers: Ciudad Primavera’ fashion capsule with Vélez during a widely praised runway show.
