>MIAMI, FL (June 2, 2009). Top-selling Latin urban artists Wisin & Yandel announce their first-ever US Concert Tour "La Revolución", which goes on sale this Friday, June 5th at 10:00 am, with a special iTunes/Ticketmaster pre-sale on June 3rd and 4th. The Grammy Award winning duo will hit 15 US cities, performing in venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York, Staples Center in Los Angeles and the American Airlines Arena in Miami. The tour is being produced by AEG/Goldenvoice.
>"We are beyond excited to be touring the United States this fall. We have sold-out Staples and MSG before, but have never truly toured North America extensively. We look forward to performing for all our fans across the country," said Wisin. "This will officially mark our first-ever US Concert Tour and we are happy to be working with AEG/Goldenvoice in this endeavor," added Yandel.
>Wisin & Yandel's live shows are nothing short of exhilarating. The concert will feature the duo's 7 piece band, their dance crew, a state-of-the-art audio/visual extravaganza and a musical fusion of genres and styles delivered with unparallel power and passion.
>In concert, Wisin & Yandel have proven to be a force to be reckoned with, becoming the only artists in their genre to sell out both the The Staples Center and Madison Square Garden in the US. The duo also recently became the first urban artists to perform in and sell-out Mexico City's prestigious Auditorio Nacional. They topped this only four days later by performing at the much larger (18,000+ capacity) Palacio de los Deportes, also in Mexico City, and filling that venue to capacity as well. The feat was described as "a phenomenon" by journalists who witnessed the hysteria the duo generated throughout Mexico, a country which has never truly embraced Reggaeton.
>The tour announcement comes on the heels of the release of their latest album "La Revolución", which industry-insiders are already predicting will set Latin album sales records in its first week out. "La Revolución" is already #1 (deluxe version) and #2 (regular version) in digital download sales according to iTunes.
>Wisin & Yandel have been hugely successful during their 10 year career as a duo. They have garnered numerous multi-platinum certifications in the United States and Latin America and dozens of prestigious awards including a Grammy and a Latin Grammy.
>In order to best determine the proper routing for the tour, Wisin & Yandel and AEG/Goldenvoice, decided to include the duo's fans in the decision-making process by developing a widget where fans could weigh in on exactly where they would like their idols to visit.

>MIAMI, FL (2 de junio, 2009). Wisin y Yandel anuncian su primera gira estadounidense "La Revolución" en la cual se presentarán en 15 ciudades norteamericanas y en salas de la talla del Madison Square Garden en Nueva York, el Staples Center en Los Angeles y el American Airlines Arena en Miami. Los boletos estarán a la venta a partir de este viernes, 5 de junio a las 10:00 am, con una preventa especial de iTunes/Ticketmaster el 3 y 4 de junio. La gira es producida por AEG/Goldenvoice.
>"Estamos sumamente emocionados de estar haciendo esta gira por Estados Unidos. Ya hemos logrado vender a capacidad el Staples Center y Madison Square Garden pero nunca habíamos hecho una gira extensa por Norteamérica. No podemos esperar a cantarles a toda nuestra fanaticada a través del país," expresó Wisin. "Este será oficialmente nuestro primer tour americano y estamos felices de estar trabajando con los productores AEG/Goldenvoice," añadió Yandel.
>Los espectáculos en vivo de Wisin y Yandel se han caracterizado como "electrizantes". Sus conciertos incluyen una banda de 7 piezas, 8 bailarines, el mejor equipo audiovisual y una fusión musical de géneros y estilos presentados con una pasión y un poder que contagian a todos.
>En concierto, Wisin y Yandel han logrado un éxito incomparable. Son los únicos artistas latinos urbanos en vender a capacidad el Staples Center y el Madison Square Garden en Estados Unidos. Recientemente, ellos también se convirtieron en los primeros artistas urbanos en presentarse y llenar a capacidad el prestigioso Auditorio Nacional en el Distrito Federal, Mexico. Y, solo cuatro días mas tarde, lograron presentar otro concierto totalmente vendido (capacidad 18,000+) en el Palacio de los Deportes, también del DF. Las presentaciones fueron categorizadas como "fenomenales" por los periodistas que presenciaron la histeria causada por el dúo de la historia en un país donde el Reggaeton nunca ha sido muy querido.
>El anuncio de la gira viene en medio de gran expectativa en la industria musical por el éxito de su mas reciente álbum "La Revolución, el cual salió hace solo una semana. El álbum ya esta en la posición número uno (versión "deluxe") y número dos (versión regular) en ventas digitales según iTunes, y se espera que rompa records en ventas en su primera semana.
>Wisin y Yandel han obtenido tremendo éxito en sus 10 años de trayectoria musical como dúo. Han sido galardonados con numerosas certificaciones de multi-platino en Estados Unidos y América Latina y docenas de premios prestigiosos, incluyendo un Grammy y un Latin Grammy.
>Para mejor determinar en qué ciudades deberían presentarse, Wisin y Yandel y AEG/Goldenvoice decidieron preguntarle a sus fans a través de un widget (aplicación digital) donde el público puede pedirles que visiten su ciudad.
