Miguel Bosé Gears Up for Triumphant Return with Importante Tour 2025-2026

Miguel Bosé recently revealed his feelings of trepidation as he stepped into rehearsals for his upcoming Importante Tour 2025-2026. He confessed, “Oh my God! How was this done? How did one walk on stage?” However, his nerves soon dissipated as the music began, and he seamlessly moved to the beat of his hit song, “Nena.”

This marks Bosé’s notable comeback after an eight-year break, showcasing a personal and artistic revival that fans have eagerly anticipated.

In an interview with Billboard Español in Mexico City, where he has resided for the past seven years, Bosé expressed, “I was ready to come back, and suddenly going on tour became the most important thing in my life.” His enthusiasm is palpable as he prepares to reconnect with fans across the globe.

“I feel very motivated, with a lot of desire. Oh!” he continued, explaining his decision to take time away to address past challenges. “I wanted to wait eight years to let all the past drama settle down and be able to rebuild myself physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally. All that had to be rebuilt.”

Reflecting on his tumultuous experiences, Bosé’s last tour, Estaré in 2017, coincided with the release of his album, Bosé: MTV Unplugged (2016). His last single was a cumbia rendition of “Morir de Amor,” collaborating with Los Ángeles Azules for their album Esto Sí Es Cumbia.

In recent years, Bosé has faced significant adversity, including a partial loss of voice from 2019 to 2023, the end of a long-term relationship with Nacho Palau, the death of his mother, actress Lucía Bosé, and a frightening armed robbery at his home in Mexico City in August 2023. These experiences have shaped his artistic narrative.

“When everything that happened happened, and all the problems began to accumulate from all sides, I blamed Bosé. I said, ‘He is to blame’ — ‘You are to blame, bastard, for being who you are. You have destroyed my life.’ So I deconstructed myself like a Lego, and left all the pieces there for eight years,” he remarked during a press conference after the interview.

The singer behind hits such as “Aire” and “Si Tú No Vuelves” recognized the need for humility and stated that he had undergone a process of self-forgiveness to emerge stronger. He describes the upcoming Importante Tour as a “luminous” and “powerful” experience.

“People are going to hear the super hits,” Bosé noted, highlighting the task of curating a setlist. “I can’t do a six-hour show. It’s not viable.” He likened the concert to “a collection of paintings” that will narrate a variety of characters, stories, and environments through his music.

The Importante Tour is scheduled to commence on February 27 in Querétaro, Mexico, before moving to the National Auditorium in Mexico City on March 14 and 15, with additional stops planned in other cities. The tour will also include dates in Spain, kicking off in June, followed by a launch in the U.S. on October 2 at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Further announcements for Latin America are expected in the coming months.

“I look forward to everyone coming to see a luminous, fun show — a journey through time, through the soundtracks of millions of people — to see this beautiful and bold proposal,” Bosé added.

With over 30 million albums sold over a career spanning five decades, Bosé remains a leading figure in Latin pop music. His chart hits, including “Nena,” “Morena Mía,” and “Como un Lobo,” have made a significant impact on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs and Latin Airplay charts, with multiple albums hitting the Top Latin Albums list, notably Papito, Cardio, and Papitwo.

His influence transcends music; Bosé has received numerous accolades, including the Latin Recording Academy’s 2013 Person of the Year award and the Global Gift Humanitarian Award. Additionally, he is involved in philanthropic efforts, supporting causes such as Patrimonio Indígena Mex, Fundación Lucha Contra el Sida, and National Geographic’s Pristine Seas.

At 68 years old, the multi-talented artist, who is also a writer and actor, has no immediate plans to release new material. He expressed doubts about the viability of traditional album releases in today’s digital landscape. “I have already built my career,” he stated. “I don’t feel like recording anything right now. How do you sell that music? Are there stores, are there supports?”

Bosé concluded with a hint of humor, stating, “Instead, I’ll sing to the people the first 30 songs they are expecting to hear [on the tour] — because if I don’t, they will slit my throat,” eliciting laughter from the audience.
