Grammy-nominated Mexican singer Julión Álvarez had to delay his concert at AT&T Stadium in Texas because his visa to enter the United States was revoked one day prior to his scheduled performance before a sold-out audience. 

Representatives for Álvarez stated that the singer was notified about his inability to enter the US the day before his intended performance on Saturday, according to a news release on Friday.

“With nearly 50,000 tickets sold, this sold-out show was set to be an unforgettable night for fans,” promoter CMN wrote.

His team said they are “actively” working on rescheduling the concert.

“Julión Álvarez sends his heartfelt thanks for your patience and continued support, and he looks forward to reuniting with his Texas fans very soon,” the statement read.

The “Regalo De Dios” singer also announced the news in a video posted to his Instagram account, where he broke the news himself to his 3.7 million followers.

“Sadly, the event will not go on as planned due to our work visa being canceled,” Álvarez said in Spanish. 

Álvarez revealed that the stage was already built for him to perform at AT&T Stadium, and his production team was already in Texas in preparation for the show when he got the news.

“It is not possible for us to go to the United States and fulfill our show promise with all of you. It’s something out of our control. That’s the information I have, and it hurts,” he said.

The Grammy-nominated singer reassured fans the show would be rescheduled but also offered refunds for those who could not attend the new date whenever it’s announced. 

It’s unclear why the popular Mexican singer’s visa was revoked.

“Visa records are confidential under US law; therefore, we cannot comment on individual cases,” a State Department spokesperson told NBC News.

Saturday’s concert was set to be the singer’s fourth show in the US this year as part of his “4218 Tour USA 2025.”

Álvarez had already performed three shows at SoFi Stadium in California in April.

While the announcement shocked fans who expected to see the beloved Mexican performer, it’s not the first time he’s had issues with his US visa.

Álvarez was among 20 people who had their US work visa revoked and was put under sanctions in 2017 after he was accused by the US government of money laundering in connection with Mexican drug kingpin Raul Flores Hernandez, according to a statement by the US Treasury.

The singer denied the allegations and said his only ties to the drug trafficker were from a real estate purchase, according to Rolling Stone.

He was removed from the sanctions list in 2022.

The “Lo Tienes Todo” singer — beloved for his traditional music style with elements of banda, norteña, and mariachi — has nearly 17 million listeners on Spotify a month. He has also been nominated for one Grammy and multiple Latin Grammy Awards.

Álvarez’s visa issues come after members of the popular Mexican band Los Alegres del Barranco had their US visas revoked in April after they were accused of “glorifying a drug kingpin” during a recent performance.

The move was taken after an image of the leader of the infamous Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) was projected onto a screen at a recent concert by the group, Los Alegres del Barranco, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said.

The group, formed in the Mexican state of Sinaloa in 2005, was scheduled to perform more than a dozen US tour dates this year, including in Alabama, California, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Texas.

However, after the image of cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Ramos — more commonly known as El Mencho — was featured at a performance in the Mexican city of Zapopan in March, the US State Department revoked the band member’s US visas.
