After several weeks of speculation, the Viña del Mar Festival announced that Peso Pluma will no longer participate in the celebration because the singer canceled his presentation and his tour of Latin America.
Through a statement on Instagram, the organization said that the cancellation is due to personal reasons for the “She Baila Sola” interpreter.
“The production of the Viña del Mar 2024 International Song Festival reports that the artist Peso Pluma announced that he will not be able to perform this March 1, as planned.
According to the information provided by his team, the artist will cancel his entire Latin American tour, including the Viña del Mar Festival.
“We are sorry to inform you that due to personal reasons, Peso Pluma will not perform at the concerts/festivals scheduled in Viña del Mar, Lima and Asunción. We hope to be able to return to these territories soon to give them the experience they deserve,” the statement reads.
In his place, the singer Trueno will perform on the stage of the Quinta Vergara on March 1 and will be in charge of closing the last night of the festival.
Until now, the reasons that made the Mexican decide to cancel his presentation in Viña del Mar are unknown.
In recent weeks, Peso Pluma divided opinions in Chile, as some people questioned the promotion of an artist whose lyrics advocate crime, but the Directorate of National Television of Chile (TVN) announced that it would be presented.
A few months ago the singer also canceled at the Caliente Stadium in Tijuana, after threats allegedly received from the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel.
