Aventura returns to tour the U.S. in early 2020.

Seminal bachata group Aventura announced its first U.S. tour in more than a decade on Monday.

The group, comprised of Romeo Santos, Lenny Santos, Henry Santos and Max Agende Santos, will play arena shows in seven major cities in February and March 2020.

Aventura’s trek begins at Los Angeles’ Forum on Feb. 6, and concludes at Miami’s AmericanAirlines Arena on March 10. In between, the group will play Dallas’ American Airlines Center (Feb. 13), Houston’s Toyota Center (Feb. 14), Chicago’s United Center (Feb. 28), Boston’s TD Garden (March 1) and Washington, D.C.’s Capital One Arena (March 5).

In April, Aventura returned with “Inmortal,” its first single in eight years, and in September, the band reunited on stage during Romeo Santos’ headlining performance at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Prior to their activity this year, Aventura’s last performances came during a month-long residency at New York City’s United Palace Theatre in February 2016.

At the start of this decade, Aventura was among the most bankable arena acts. The group’s most lucrative stand, according to Pollstar Boxoffice reports, was a sold-out four-night stand at New York’s Madison Square Garden that stretched from Jan. 20 to Feb. 2, 2010. Over the shows, Aventura grossed $5.69 million and sold 72,000 tickets.

About a month earlier, in December 2009, Aventura sold out Los Angeles’ Staples Center twice over, moving 27,374 tickets and grossing $2.37 million.

The group appeared on Pollstar‘s top North American tours chart every year from 2008 to 2010.

This decade, Romeo Santos became a reliable solo draw, appearing on Pollstar‘s Year End Top 100 Worldwide Torus chart in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2018. Last year, the star ranked No. 38 on the chart with a gross of $42.3 million. His 2018 haul included a three-night February stand at Madison Square Garden, where he sold 41,298 tickets and grossed $5.37 million.

Romeo Santos made history in September, when he became the first Latin artist to headline MetLife stadium. In addition to being joined by his Aventura peers, the concert featured appearances by Raulin Rodriguez, El Chaval, Zacarias Ferreira, Joe Veras, Elvis Martinez, Frank Reyes, Monchy & Alexandra, Luis Vargas & Kiko Rodriguez, Ozuna, Wisin & Yandel and Cardi B.

Like his solo tour, Aventura’s upcoming dates will be produced by Live Nation. Tickets go on sale on Dec. 12 at 10 a.m. local time. Find the list of dates below.
