The Top Latin Music Artist in the United States Returns for an Encore Arena Tour… ROMEO SANTOS Announces Second U.S. Arena Leg of His Record-Setting Formula Vol. 2 Tour – Date set for June 25 at the Patriot Center
The first U.S. leg of Romeo Santos’ critically-praised Formula Vol. 2 Tour SOLD-OUT at arenas across the country and concluded with a historic SOLD-OUT two-night solo-stand at his hometown’s iconic Yankee Stadium for 85,000+ fans. Rolling Stone hailed the production as “One Of The Hottest Tours of Summer 2014,” while the New York Times recently selected the Yankee Stadium shows as “One of the Best Concerts of 2014”.
“Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall” couldn’t do it, Jay Z got help from Justin Timberlake and Eminem, and Metallica didn’t try. Selling out consecutive shows at Yankee Stadium, with its capacity of roughly 50,000, is nearly impossible for any pop music artist not named Paul McCartney. But Romeo Santos…the man who carries modern bachata on his back, held a master class here— not just in the music, which was feather-light, but also in how to keep a crowd of this size on its toes. No one — except maybe Derek Jeter — is more comfortable in this building.” – New York Times
Now the multi-platinum King of Bachata will hold court once again with another set of arena dates including June 25 at the Patriot Center at 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale February 13 at 10 a.m. for the Patriot Center show through all Ticketmaster outlets, www.ticketmaster.com and through the arena box office.
Romeo Santos recently landed at No. 1 on Billboard’s 2014 End of Year Top Latin Artists chart, and his landmark second solo album, Formula Vol. 2, was declared the No. 1 Latin Album of the Year. Santos alone held three of the Top 5 Hot Latin Songs of 2014, while also garnering The Most Radio Airplay and The Most Song Streaming of all Latin artists.
This week, Formula Vol. 2, once again sits at No. 1 on the Top Latin Albums chart, an impressive 46 weeks after its release.
About The Author
Editor-in-Chief/Entertainment Reporter
I knew early on that I wanted to take my place among the stars. One day, my mother saw me reading The Washington Post at a very young age. Who would have known that it would be the building blocks of my journey? Since that day, I dedicated my life to learn all that is learnable. I read everything from encyclopedias, to books, to dictionaries, to magazines. I’m also an avid consumer of television, with my favorite genre being game shows. If you’ve seen me on Who Wants to be a Millionaire or Wheel of Fortune, then you know that this interest has served me well!
My unique style of reporting began back in junior high school, when I started to chronicle the events that shaped my life. Whether it was the annual family vacation or the local science fiction convention, I shot numerous pictures and recorded my thoughts so I could truly appreciate the history. During my senior year at Friendly High, I wrote what was to be my first masterpiece, “Advanced Space Academy – A One Week Journey.” I sent the eleven-page article back to the U.S. Space Camp staff. The article was highly praised for being “one of the best written articles in the history of U.S. Space Camp.” From then on, I knew what I wanted to do for rest of my life — to be a reporter.
Since then, I have trained in Broadcast Journalism at Bowie State University (2008) in Bowie, MD earning a B.S. in Communications. I gained experience in news production and editing through field experiences with Bowie Community Media Corporation, Prince George’s Community Television, and Bowie State University Television. I also wrote scripts for a variety of quiz shows for over five years.
As a lifelong movie buff, I now see close to 100 films every year. I took this love of movies to the next step when I became a co-host for Eclipse Magazine TV in the fall of 2005. While at EMTV, I interviewed celebrities, worked red carpets, and attended a wide variety of movie screenings. In January 2009, I took a leap of faith and started my own entertainment news magazine, The Rogers Revue. Shortly afterward, my life-long journey of studying the silver screen and writing about what I learned finally earned me a place in the Washington Area Film Critics Association.
All of this has led me here, giving you the latest entertainment news for the DMV and the entire nation, and I am truly excited for whatever will come next.
