Enrique Iglesias stormed the charts this year with hit songs heard on radio airwaves and in dance clubs across the country. And Iglesias announced today that he will now blaze a trail into U.S. arenas with Pitbull and special guest Prince Royce for the hottest tour of the Fall.

 

With his signature vocals, driving pop and dance beats and pure passion, Iglesias will have arena audiences on their feet all night. The show will feature the artist’s most recent hits from his chart-topping album Euphoria such as “I Like It” and “Tonight” along with fan favorites from his many platinum-selling albums.

 

We are giving away a pair of tickets to see Enrique Iglesias on his Euphoria tour at Toyota Center on October 12th. Don’t miss a great show!

 

Please email letters@002mag.com. Don’t forget to put “Enrique” on the subject line. Good luck!
