¿Cuándo veremos a Peso Pluma en Chicago?
El domingo por la noche, la actuación del cantante mexicano en el Festival de Música Sueños fue cancelada cuando los organizadores del festival evacuaron el Grant Park una hora antes de la hora programada para el inicio de la tocada de Peso Pluma. Fue una medida de precaución ante una tormenta que al final duró unos 10 minutos.
Fue su tercer concierto cancelado en Chicago en menos de un año.
No mucho después de su concierto de julio de 2023 en el Credit Union 1 Amphitheater, canceló varios conciertos en el Medio Oeste, incluyendo su show de octubre en el United Center. Ese concierto fue pospuesto para diciembre, antes de que anunciara que cancelaba el resto de su gira internacional, alegando supuestos problemas de seguridad pública.
Los medios de comunicación mexicanos informaron que Peso Pluma recibió amenazas de los cárteles en Tijuana por parte de un grupo organizado con base en Jalisco, su estado natal.
Peso Pluma logró normalizar las colaboraciones en el género banda-norteño, como demuestra el éxito mundial, “Ella baila sola”, de Eslabón Armado, que encabezó las listas de éxitos y lo colocó en el centro de atención. El éxito instantáneo llevó a “la Doble P” a su primera de dos apariciones en “The Tonight Show” de Jimmy Fallon.
Los asistentes al festival Sueños esperaban escuchar sus colaboraciones de 2024, como “Quema” con el reggaetonero Ryan Castro y “La Intención” con Cristian Nodal. Su colaboración más reciente es “Gimme a Sec” con el rapero Rich the Kid y producida por Kanye West, apenas lanzada la semana pasada.
Aunque Peso Pluma no actuó, hizo una breve aparición en el after party oficial de Sueños en The Mine donde dijo estar “muy apenado con lo que pasó” y que quería mucho a la gente de Chicago.
El próximo intento de Peso Pluma de presentarse aquí será el 6 de octubre, cuando tiene programado actuar en el United Center. Dedos cruzados.
