Colombian singer-songwriter Andres Cepeda has lined up a nationwide run for next year: LATITUDES 2027, an eight-date tour hitting seven cities between April and June. For music fans, it doubles as a handy spring itinerary through some of Colombia's most likeable cities.
The tour opens on April 16, 2027 at Nectar Arena in Ibague and wraps up June 4 at Barranquilla's Puerta de Oro. In between come Manizales (Plaza de Toros, May 1), Cali (Arena Cañaveralejo, May 21), Pereira (Expofuturo, May 22) and Bucaramanga (Cenfer, May 28). Bogota gets the star treatment with two consecutive nights at El Corazon de Bogota Arena on May 14 and 15 — and they're not repeat shows. The Friday set leans on his biggest hits and recent material, while the Saturday performance is the Andres Cepeda Big Band concept, inspired by his album Andres Cepeda Big Band 2, released in August 2026. That show promises a large ensemble playing jazz, bolero and traditional rhythms like cumbia, mambo and porro.
The premise behind LATITUDES is a career retrospective. Cepeda has been performing for more than three decades, first as frontman of Poligamia and then as a solo artist whose catalogue — Dia tras dia, Besos usados, Duele — spans pop, romantic ballads and various Latin American sounds. The production also folds in visual and narrative elements tied to each region, so each stop gets its own character rather than a carbon-copy set.
Why should travellers care? The routing is essentially a tour of Colombia's interior and Caribbean coast. Ibague and the coffee-region trio of Manizales, Pereira and nearby Cali sit in some of the country's most scenic mountain terrain, while Barranquilla on the Caribbean coast offers a completely different atmosphere — and by early June you'd miss the chaos of its famous February carnival but catch the city in warm, lively form. Timing a trip around one or two concerts, then adding a few days in each city, is a straightforward way to see a good chunk of the country with a local soundtrack.
Ticket details and prices had not been announced at the time of the announcement, so fans planning around specific dates should watch Cepeda's official channels for on-sale information — big Bogota shows tend to sell quickly, especially for a one-off Big Band format.
