CNCO Press Start World Tour 2020: Latin boy band announces first leg of concerts in 11 cities
From their audition for La Banda, the Spanish singing show created by Simon Cowell and produced by Ricky Martin, CNCO sure has come a long way.
Blending the classic boy band format popularized by the likes of Backstreet Boys and NSYNC, and infusing a bit of culture with Latin sounds and reggaeton beats, CNCO has carved a spot for itself within the international pop scene.
The Latino boy band is now bringing their music to stages across 11 American cities as part of their Press Start World Tour 2020.
CNCO's 11-city run will kickstart in the iconic Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on May 30. It will then hit The Forum in Los Angeles, California, and United Palace in New York. They wrap up on June 21 at Rosemont Theater in Chicago.
CNCO's fame skyrocketed in 2016 with the release of their song 'Reggaetón Lento' ('Bailemos'). The song topped several charts in the West and gained popularity in Asia, earning reactions from Korean pop groups like KARD and garnering praise for their sound and dancing skills.
'Reggaetón Lento' later got a sultry revamp when British girl group Little Mix collaborated with CNCO for a remix that was released in 2017, bringing the song back for another round on the charts.
Since then, CNCO has gone on to win several awards and has continued to share its unique brand of pop and Latin reggaeton with the world.
CNCO topped off a banner 2019 in the US with a seven-minute medley performance in Times Square on New Year's Eve. The year included performances on Good Morning America, Teen Choice Awards and the VMAs. They also released a capsule collection with Forever 21. They went on to be named as one of People Magazine's 'Ones to Watch' in 2019 and Rolling Stone's 'Breaking' artist last October. In addition, CNCO also landed the first Vevo LIFT campaign for a Latin artist, and an MTV Push Campaign.
Last year, CNCO also released their highly acclaimed album 'Que Quiénes Somos' via Sony Music Latin. The collection of songs was created by all five members of CNCO, making it their most personal body of work to date.
Joining them on the seven-track EP are Tommy Brown, Andrés David Restrepo Echvavarria 'Rolo', Johan Esteban Espinosa Cuervo 'Jowan', Salomón Villada Hoyos 'Feid', Sebastian and Alejandro Patiño 'Mosty', amongst others. You can listen to the song here.
