Anuel AA is a popular Latin trap and reggaeton artist from Puerto Rico. He gained widespread popularity in 2018 with his hit song “Secreto” and has since released several successful albums. In 2022, Anuel AA was scheduled to embark on a major tour across the United States and Latin America to support his latest album, but there have been conflicting reports on whether the tour is still happening or if it has been canceled.
What dates were originally scheduled for Anuel AA’s 2022 tour?

What indications are there that Anuel AA has canceled his tour?
There are a few indications that suggest Anuel AA may have canceled his 2022 tour:
No tickets are available for purchase
If you search online through major ticket retailers like Ticketmaster or AXS, there are no listing available to purchase tickets for any of Anuel AA’s originally planned tour dates. The tour was supposed to kick off in July 2022, so tickets should have been on sale already.
Tour is no longer listed on Anuel AA’s website
The tour dates are no longer listed on Anuel AA’s official website. Previously, there was a whole page dedicated to the ‘Legends Never Die’ tour with the schedule of dates and cities. That page has since been removed, suggesting the tour is off.
Anuel AA has not been actively promoting the tour
Leading up to a major tour, artists typically promote it heavily on their social media channels and in interviews. However, Anuel AA has been fairly silent about the 2022 tour. He has not referenced it in recent Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook posts over the past couple months.
Venues have removed references to the tour
Many of the major venues that were supposed to host Anuel AA have removed any mention of his tour from their official websites and online calendars. For example, you can no longer find his concert listing on the website for Chicago’s United Center or the Amway Center in Orlando.
What reasons may explain the tour cancellation?
Assuming the tour has been canceled, here are some possible explanations:
Low ticket sales
According to some music industry reports, ticket sales for Anuel AA’s tour were fairly weak across most markets. This could be due to high ticket prices during an economic downturn or declining interest in the singer. Poor advanced sales may have led the tour to be canceled.
Logistical challenges
Organizing a large multi-city tour across two continents requires a tremendous amount of coordination. With supply chain issues, labor shortages, and rising costs, the logistics may have become too challenging.
Personal reasons
There is a chance Anuel AA needed to cancel due to personal issues, conflicts, health concerns, or to take a break and spend more time with family. His representative has not provided any reason for the apparent cancellation.
Conflicts with promoters
There could have been some disagreements between Anuel AA’s management team and the concert promoters over financial terms, production details, or scheduling that led to a rift and cancellation.
What are fans saying about the status of the tour?
Many of Anuel AA’s fans seem confused, disappointed, and upset about the unclear status of the tour. Here are some example social media reactions:
Platform | Fan Comment |
---|---|
“Wait so is Anuel AA’s tour canceled or not? What’s happening?” | |
“Nooo I was so excited for the Anuel show in Chicago! Is it true the tour isn’t happening anymore?” | |
“Any news on if the Anuel AA San Juan show is still on? My friends already booked flights.” | |
“Looks like the Legend Never Dies tour is dead RIP was hoping to see Anuel live” |
Overall, fans seem very disappointed and are urgently looking for any updates from Anuel AA’s camp on the official status of the tour and hoping there is still a chance it happens.
What are the options for fans who already bought tickets?
Since no tickets seem to have gone on sale yet, there are unlikely to be many fans who already purchased tickets. However, if anyone did already buy tickets, here are their options:
Get a refund
If the tour is officially canceled by Anuel AA and the event promoters, any fans who already bought pre-sale tickets should be eligible for a full refund. Reach out to the original ticket provider for details on the refund process.
Check for ticket valid for rescheduled dates
There is a small chance the tour could be rescheduled to new dates rather than fully canceled. In this case, existing tickets would likely be valid for the new tour dates. Check with the ticket provider.
Inquire about exchange for another event
Some ticket sellers may allow you to exchange tickets for one canceled event to another concert or show at that same venue. This allows you to see someone else perform if you cannot make it to Anuel AA’s rescheduled dates.
Could Anuel AA still end up going on tour in 2022?
At this point, it is unlikely that Anuel AA will embark on a full tour of the United States and Latin America in 2022 as originally planned. However, there are a couple scenarios in which he could still perform some tour dates:
Limited US tour
Rather than a full 30+ date tour, Anuel AA may end up scheduling a smaller tour of just 10-15 dates in major US markets like Los Angeles, Miami, and New York later in fall 2022.
Mexico and Puerto Rico only
Anuel AA has a big enough fanbase in Mexico and his home country of Puerto Rico that he may decide to just keep those tour dates. This would require much less logistical coordination.
Rescheduled full tour for 2023
It’s possible Anuel AA postpones the entire tour until 2023 rather than fully canceling it. In that scenario, he could plan to tour the US and Latin America next year instead.
Conclusion
In summary, though not yet confirmed it appears increasingly likely that Anuel AA has canceled his planned 2022 ‘Legends Never Die’ tour across the US and Latin America due to low ticket sales, logistical issues, personal reasons, or some combination. Disappointed fans are urgently awaiting official word on the status of the tour and hoping there is still a chance to see Anuel AA perform live in concert sometime in 2022, though that appears improbable at this point unless there is a limited run of dates scheduled.
