Karol G Kicks Off Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour in Chicago

Karol G launched her Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour on Friday, July 24, 2026, at Soldier Field in Chicago, according to Billboard. The Colombian superstar delivered a setlist to open the highly anticipated global stadium tour, which is in support of her latest album, Tropicoqueta.

The tour is a historic venture, making Karol G the first Latina artist to headline stadiums across Europe as part of a global tour, as reported by Rolling Stone. Promoted by Live Nation, the extensive trek will see her joined by special guests Becky G, Greeicy, and Elena Rose on select dates.

What Songs Did Karol G Play in Chicago?

The kick-off show's setlist was a career-spanning marathon, heavily featuring tracks from her 2025 album Tropicoqueta. The performance was structured into multiple acts, blending her biggest hits with fan-favorite deep cuts and special interludes.

Key songs from the opening night included:

• "Latina Foreva" – The opening track from Tropicoqueta
• "QLONA" – A hit from her 2023 album Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season)
• "Tropicoqueta" – The title track from her latest album
• "MAMIII" – Her collaboration with Becky G
• "Provenza" – A massive streaming hit from Mañana Será Bonito
• "Bichota" and "Tusa" – Performed in salsa versions, closing the main set
• "Viajando Por El Mundo" – The tour's namesake track served as the finale

The show also included a mariachi performance interlude and a dance break set to Cris MJ's "Una Noche en Medellín." In celebration of the tour's start, Karol G teased a new, unapologetic reggaetón track called "Matadora" on social media, hinting at its release during the tour.

Where Is the Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour Going?

Following the two-night opening stand in Chicago, the tour will jump to stadiums across North America. Confirmed stops include SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, MetLife Stadium in New York, and Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

The North American leg includes 16 cities across the United States and Canada before the production heads to Latin America and then Europe. Karol G is scheduled to perform in Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Spain, England, and Italy, among other countries, throughout the rest of 2026 and into early 2027.

How Does This Tour Build on Her Career?

The Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour arrives on the heels of Karol G's historic headlining set at Coachella, where she became the first Latina artist to top the festival's bill. It follows the commercial success of her 2025 album Tropicoqueta, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart and No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard 200. All 20 songs from the album charted on the Hot Latin Songs chart, a first for the artist.

Her previous tour, the Mañana Será Bonito World Tour, was one of the most successful ever mounted by a Latin female artist. This new global stadium trek represents a significant scaling up in ambition and production, designed to rival the biggest international pop spectacles. In a recent interview, Karol G said of the upcoming shows, "I’m waiting for people to see what we pull out together. It’s amazing."

What’s Next for the Tropitour?

While specific guest appearances for each date have not been fully detailed, fans can expect surprise collaborations throughout the run. Elena Rose previously told Billboard about joining the tour, "It was super organic. Karol invited us, and for me it was something super beautiful."

With tickets for multiple shows having sold out months in advance, prompting added dates, the tour's economic and cultural impact is already being felt. It solidifies Karol G's position not just as a leading figure in Latin music, but as a bona fide global stadium headliner.
