Who is J Balvin?
José Álvaro Osorio Balvín, who performs as J Balvin, was born on 7 May 1985 in Medellín. At seventeen he moved to the United States to learn English, then returned to Medellín and built a reputation playing the city's clubs.
Over his career he has won six Latin Grammys, eleven Billboard Latin Music Awards and five MTV Video Music Awards. He was the first Latin artist to headline festivals including Coachella, Tomorrowland and Lollapalooza, which is why much of his calendar sits on festival stages. Dates appear in the live section below once announced.

Festival headline versus his own tour date
Because much of his calendar sits on festival stages, the ticket logic needs separating: a festival ticket covers the whole day or the whole festival, the stage time is announced later, and other stages can clash.
On his own tour date the ticket covers that night only, the set runs longer and the production is built in full. For the differences between festival ticket types see the festival camping guide.
Position for the colour and lighting design
The show is built on a strong colour and lighting design. On festival stages, stepping back from the stage usually gives a better view of the design as a whole.
At arena events the block number and stage direction are decisive. The stadium and arena ticket-category guide explains what the blocks mean.
J Balvin upcoming dates
Checklist for when dates are announced
- Confirm whether the event is a festival or one of his own tour dates.
- For a festival, tell a day ticket apart from a full-festival ticket.
- Choose a position from which the lighting design reads as a whole.
- Book accommodation near a festival site the same day as the ticket.
What to know before you go
- Much of the calendar sits on festival stages.
- Festival stage times are not fixed until the programme is published.
- The lighting design reads better from a little further back.
- Never share your barcode with third parties.
How to plan travel for a J Balvin concert
Secure the ticket first and search for flights afterwards. At festival stops, accommodation around the site sells out early.
Book the return for the day after the show and choose accommodation by late-night transport links.
Keep planning
Frequently asked questions
Where can I see J Balvin concert dates?
The live section on this page uses FlyVentis event records and will list dates once they are announced. Recheck the details before buying or travelling.
Does a festival ticket replace a concert ticket?
No. A festival ticket covers the whole day or the whole festival; the stage time is announced later and other stages may clash.
Should I stand close to the stage?
The show is built on a strong colour and lighting design. Standing a little further back usually gives a better view of the design as a whole.
