Marc Anthony is coming back to the United States — and Chicago is on the list.

The salsa superstar announced “The Last Dance” on Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, his first U.S. tour in two years. The Marc Anthony Last Dance tour will play 14 North American arena dates from April 1 through May 16, 2027, and fans are already circling the calendar.

Yes, the name sounds dramatic. No, it has not been billed as a farewell tour. This is not a goodbye — it is a comeback, a celebration, and a full-scale arena return from one of Latin music’s most electrifying live performers.

When is Marc Anthony coming to Chicago?

Circle this one in red: Saturday, April 17, 2027, at 8 PM at the United Center in Chicago.

That is the kind of night the United Center was built for — a packed arena, a full band, horns blazing, and thousands of fans singing every word back in English and Spanish. If you have ever seen Marc Anthony live, you know the energy does not dip for a second. If you have never seen him live, this is the tour to fix that.

Chicago has always shown up big for Latin music, and a Saturday night in April is about as perfect as tour scheduling gets. Expect a high-energy, hit-packed set, a crowd that knows the choruses by heart, and a dance floor that stretches all the way to the upper deck.

“The Last Dance” tour dates: April 1 to May 16, 2027

The tour kicks off Wednesday, April 1, 2027, at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, and wraps Saturday, May 16, 2027, at Chase Center in San Francisco.

In between, the 14-date North American run also stops in Montreal, Brooklyn, Reading, Newark, Charlotte, Tampa, San Antonio, Houston, Glendale, Anaheim and Denver, along with Chicago and San Francisco.

That is 14 arena nights across the U.S. and Canada in just over six weeks — a tight, high-impact run, not a slow rollout. When a tour is this short, every stop matters, and tickets are likely to move fast.

How to get tickets for Marc Anthony’s “The Last Dance” tour

Here is what fans need to know:

• Presale: Thursday, Nov. 12, at 9 AM local time. Use artist code MA2027 or Ticketmaster code TMFAN.
• General on-sale: Friday, Nov. 13, at 10 AM local time via Ticketmaster.
• Promoter: CMN Events.

Set an alarm for the presale, have your Ticketmaster account ready, and decide on your seats before the clock hits 9 AM. For the Chicago show especially, the best seats will not wait around.

Not a farewell — a celebration

Despite the name, “The Last Dance” has not been billed as a farewell tour. Think of it instead as a statement: after two years away from U.S. stages, Marc Anthony is returning with a show built for arenas, for dancing, and for the songs fans have been waiting to hear live again.

From romantic ballads to full-throttle salsa, his catalog has soundtracked weddings, parties, road trips and late nights for decades. Hearing those songs with a live band, in a room full of people who love them just as much as you do, is a completely different experience — and that is exactly what this tour promises.

Why Chicago fans should not wait

April 17 is a Saturday. The venue is the United Center. The artist is Marc Anthony. The tour is only 14 dates long, and it is his first U.S. tour in two years.

Put those facts together and the message is clear: do not sleep on this one. Get in on the presale on Thursday, Nov. 12, or be ready the moment general on-sale opens on Friday, Nov. 13.

Chicago, get ready to dance. Marc Anthony is coming back — and “The Last Dance” is shaping up to be one of the biggest Latin music nights of 2027.
