Julion Álvarez’s 4218 Tour USA 2025: Could Chicago Be Next?
CHICAGO — Mexican superstar Julion Álvarez kicked off his highly anticipated 4218 Tour USA 2025 in April after an extended absence from American stages. Fans in Chicago are still holding out hope for a local date, but as of mid-year, the city has yet to appear on his official schedule.
With previous concerts drawing thousands and his U.S. popularity still soaring, many believe it’s only a matter of time before a Chicago announcement arrives.
Tour Launch and Visa Setback
Julion Álvarez began his tour with a sold-out performance at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 19, 2025, marking his first official U.S. appearance in eight years. That triumphant return, however, was soon followed by turbulence.
A planned May 24 concert at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas was abruptly postponed after Álvarez’s U.S. work visa was revoked. The issue echoes his past travel restrictions tied to U.S. Treasury sanctions in 2017, which were lifted in 2022.
Despite the setback, the Los Angeles show proved there is still massive demand for his live performances in the United States. That demand continues to grow in cities like Chicago.
No Chicago Date Announced Yet
At the time of publishing, Chicago is not listed among the confirmed tour stops. Ticketing platforms such as Ticketmaster, Songkick, and Vivid Seats do not show any scheduled performance for the area.
Unofficial tour-tracking pages list Chicago as a “coming soon” location, but those claims have not been backed by Julion Álvarez’s team or any venue announcements.
Still, local fans are watching closely and anticipating a surprise reveal.
Why a Chicago Stop Makes Sense
Julion Álvarez has a strong fanbase in the Midwest, and Chicago has hosted him before—most notably during his 2015 show at the Aragon Ballroom. That concert drew a massive crowd and solidified his connection with regional Mexican music lovers in the city.
With major venues like the United Center, Allstate Arena, and the Aragon Ballroom all suitable for a tour of this scale, Chicago remains a prime candidate for a future date.
What We Know About the Tour So Far
Confirmed Highlights:
- The 4218 Tour launched April 19 in Los Angeles with a sold-out show at SoFi Stadium.
- Álvarez’s May 24 show in Arlington was postponed due to visa issues, but tickets are being honored for a future reschedule.

What Fans Can Do in the Meantime

- Follow official channels including Julion Álvarez’s Instagram and CMN Events for updates.
- Bookmark key venues like United Center, Allstate Arena, and Aragon Ballroom for direct schedule changes.
When a Chicago date drops, tickets are likely to move fast, especially if it’s his first time back in the city in a decade.
Will He Perform in Chicago?
Chicago fans are still waiting, but industry signs suggest it’s not a matter of if—only when. With strong Midwest demand, venue availability, and a loyal Spanish-language fanbase, a local stop feels inevitable.
Until then, fans can stay tuned, stay signed up, and stay hopeful.
