Inside Ryan Castro’s Expanded U.S. Arena Tour: ‘My Show Is an Unforgettable Party’

Ryan Castro began performing as a busker on local bus rides in Colombia 15 years ago, paying his way with tips.

But by 2025, the Latin urban star was playing to arena crowds in Los Angeles, Miami and New York as part of his first U.S. solo arena tour, Sendé, named after his album released that May.

The 21-date trek across Europe and North America (with five stops in the United States) was so successful that Castro and his team added a second North American leg, Sendé: The Last Dance, that will play 17 shows this September and October.

“I used to do theaters and clubs of [2,000] to 3,000 people,” Castro, 32, recalls of his first U.S. tour in 2022.

Once he started booking arenas stateside, though, he recalls thinking: “Holy crap … I need to take it to other cities.

People deserve to keep enjoying it.” Related Ryan Castro & Gangsta Snatch First No.

Tour Dates “We always knew Ryan was ready,” adds Jaime Múñera, Castro’s production manager.

“When we did the Barclays Center [in Brooklyn] and it exploded … It was time to take this show to the places we haven’t been.” That Barclays show sold nearly 12,000 tickets and grossed $880,000, according to Billboard Boxscore.

Promoted by The Touring Co., Awoo Team and Eventimlive, the new leg will make stops in Boston; Orlando, Fla.; Nashville; San Antonio; and Las Vegas.

It will also take Castro back to New York — only this time, to a different famed venue soon to be announced.

Like Castro’s 2025 gigs, the show will be divided into three sections encapsulating the star’s evolution, from his viral dancehall songs to the cultural tunes that embrace his Colombian roots to the reggaetón bangers that earned him the nickname “El Cantante del Ghetto” (The Singer From the Ghetto).

The show also represents the two locations that most shaped Castro’s sound: his native Medellín and, with its stage made to look like an island, Curaçao, where he moved with his mother at 13 then returned to at 20 to make music.

“Ryan has always been a showman, and he’s always had the energy,” says Felipe Mejía, the tour’s creative director.
