Anuel AA Plans a Real Hasta la Muerte Festival From Summer 2027
Anuel AA plans to launch a festival called the Real Hasta la Muerte Festival in summer 2027, the artist told Billboard.
The plans came up in a conversation with Leila Cobo, Billboard's co-chief content officer. The festival would move to a different country every year, Anuel AA said. Europe could be the first stop, and he said the first edition may be in Spain. He is still weighing Chile against Spain for that first year. Puerto Rico, Mexico and Colombia are also on his list of possible host countries.
Nothing is fixed yet. Anuel AA has not shared a date, a city, a venue or a lineup. He did say the festival will feature lots of artists, but he did not name any of them.
The festival news arrives alongside music plans that are closer to home. Anuel AA said his next release, Real Hasta la Muerte 2, is due on Nov. 19. It is a tribute to the original Real Hasta la Muerte, according to Billboard's video interview with the artist, published on Nov. 6. He also said he could put out a corridos album, titled Cartel Real Hasta la Muerte, on the same day. Corridos are narrative ballads from Mexico, often about real or imagined figures and events. It would be his first album in that style.
For fans, the practical picture is simple. A festival needs a date, a host city and a venue before tickets can go on sale, and none of those has been announced. Anuel AA's timeline points to 2027, and the choice of country is still open. The next firm date on the calendar is Nov. 19, when Real Hasta la Muerte 2 is due.
Festivals that travel from one country to the next are less common than single-city events. Each new host means a new set of local promoters, permits and crews, so any stop would need its own planning. For now, the plan is a set of possibilities rather than a booking.
