The three of them are releasing or have released a new album this year and they are currently amongst the most popular music stars. At the “Palacio de Deportes (EN = ‘Sport’s Palace’) they are going to present their latest albums and who knows, maybe they’re going to perform their Top 40 singles Loba, Manos al Aire oder Bodies. All of you who are lucky enough to get a ticket for Spain’s and Latin America’s most important music prize, will definitely enjoy themselves.
