Fuerza Regida closed their first-ever U.S. stadium tour on 7 August 2026 at Citi Field in Queens, New York, playing through a heavy thunderstorm with a guest list that crossed regional and genre lines. The "This Is Our Dream" tour covered nine stadium dates across major markets — Texas, Los Angeles and others — before its finale in New York, according to Billboard. The show had been designated "Rain or Shine" on the Citi Field event page.

The Citi Field bill brought out 50 Cent, G-Unit members Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks, Bobby Shmurda, Fenix Flexin of Shoreline Mafia, and J Balvin. 50 Cent and G-Unit ran through "What Up Gangsta," "P.I.M.P." and "I Get Money." Fenix Flexin performed his viral track "Rubberz." J Balvin joined Fuerza Regida for "La Canción," with frontman JOP — the stage name of Jesús Ortiz Paz — taking the verses originally recorded by Bad Bunny.

Fuerza Regida, a five-member band, also performed their own Billboard-charting singles: "TQM," "Sabor Fresa," "Bebe Dame," "Harley Quinn" and "Marlboro Rojo." The rest of the lineup features Samuel Jaimez on requinto (a small Mexican guitar), Khrystian Ramos on guitar, José "Pelón" García on tuba and trumpet, and Moisés López on tololoche (a traditional Mexican acoustic bass).

The show's production leaned into pop-culture spectacle. The opening featured binary-code visuals from The Matrix, and JOP appeared in a Spider-Man-inspired reveal — a nod timed to the 31 July 2026 release of the film Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Billboard reported.

Days before the show, JOP told Billboard that "New York's always been the hardest place for us" because "It's so global here." The city's breadth — its concentration of Spanish-language listeners alongside every other audience — is the reason a regional Mexican band booked a baseball stadium in Queens.

50 Cent had a busy Friday night across the Hudson. On the same evening, he also made a guest appearance during the Chris Brown and Usher "Raymond & Brown Tour" stop at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Billboard confirmed.

The Citi Field event's logistics, posted on the venue's Instagram and MLB.com, listed parking lots opening at 5:30 p.m., gates at 6:30 p.m. and the show starting at 8:00 p.m. Tickets went on sale 20 February at 10 a.m., per a Citi Field announcement.

Fuerza Regida's next confirmed date is on a different stage: a headline Superstar Q&A at Billboard Latin Music Week 2026, held 19–22 October at the Faena Forum in Miami Beach.
