The “King of Bachata,” Romeo Santos, is striking back—this time alongside Prince Royce—on a brand‑new tour that fans are already buzzing about.
After closing out his 2024 farewell “Cerrando Ciclos Tour” with his brothers Henry, Lenny and Max Santos, Santos is gearing up for the 2026 “Mejor Tarde Que Nunca Tour,” which will run from early April through late May.
One of the stops is the Prudential Center in Newark on Wednesday, April 22. Santos explained in an interview with Billboard that he wants the show to feel more like a shared musical journey rather than separate sets: “…we don’t want it to feel like a show where he goes onstage, sings his setlist, then I sing mine.
No. We want it to be an experience where, whether you’re a fan of Royce and me or just a fan of him or just of me, it’s a musical journey through both of our repertoires.”
This concert series is designed to support their latest joint album, “Better Late Than Never,” which dropped on November 28. The record mixes classic romantic bachatas with modern R&B and Afro‑beat twists—tracks like “Dardos” and “Jezebel”—and includes a Dominican style “Ay San Miguel” that ties into traditional festivities.
A feature from Esendom praised the album’s range, noting it shows bachata evolving from jukebox tunes to a global language that can converse with pop, R&B, Afro‑beat and digital trends while still retaining its distinct melancholy. Romeo Santos and Prince Royce are portrayed not only as curators of the genre’s heritage but also as torchbearers for its future.
