Nicky Jam will return to Puerto Rico to perform a historic concert titled El Regreso a Casa (or The Return Home). It is scheduled for May 23 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot, aka “El Choli” or “Choliseo.” Tickets for the show will be available starting Friday, March 27, at 10 a.m. local time through ticketera.com and at the Coliseo box office.
“This concert means everything to me,” Nicky Jam expressed in a statement. “Puerto Rico is the place where it all began. My sound, my identity was formed here — this island made me, and I am grateful for it. Returning to the Coliseo after 10 years, in front of my people, is something I always dreamed of. I promise you a historic night.”
This event will mark his return to the stages of his homeland after a decade, nearly 30 years after beginning his artistic career. Nicky Jam was born in the United States, and at the age of 10, moved with his family to San Juan, to Barrio Obrero. Born Nick Rivera Caminero, he was discovered at age 11 while working as a grocery store bagger in Puerto Rico. It was there, in the Río Hondo suburb of Bayamón, where launched his musical career, releasing his first album at the age of 14. Since then, he has built a collection of countless hits, which continues to grow with his most recent album, Bohemio, released in January via Virgin Records.
Recognized as one of the most influential figures in reggaetón, the hitmaker has an arsenal of tracks that have dominated the Billboard charts, including five No. 1 hits on Hot Latin Songs: “Hasta el Amanecer”; “El Perdón” with Enrique Iglesias; “X” with J Balvin; “Otro Trago” alongside Sech, Darell, Ozuna and Anuel AA; and “Te Boté” with Casper Mágico, Nio Garcia, Darel, Ozuna and Bad Bunny, among others.
The production company VRDG Entertainment will be in charge of organizing the event.
