Los Tigres del Norte on Tour
With their piercing wails and songs that passionately tell of blue-collar hardships, love, loss, and the war on drugs, Los Tigres del Norte evoke plenty of gut-wrenching emotion in their repertoire. Boasting a career that spans more than five decades, these beloved norteños continue to inspire legions of fans from both sides of the border.
Armed with Jorgé's mad accordion riffs, Hernán's fuming electric bass lines, Eduardo's brilliant sax, Luis' snarling 12-string guitar fret-work, and Óscar Lara's powerful drumming, their live performances are known to be riveting. They keep their sets lively and evocative with meaningful messages that build solidarity with the Latin diaspora. Impressively, their in-demand showcases even broke Cardi B's attendance record at RodeoHouston in March 2019.
Los Tigres del Norte Background
No other norteño group tells the story of the immigrant experience in the U.S. quite the way Los Tigres del Norte do. Mexican immigrants themselves, they moved to San Jose, California, from Sinaloa, Mexico, in the late 1960s as teenagers. Led by vocalist and accordionist José Hernández, they started playing locally.
When the Hernández troupe of brothers and cousins caught the attention of aspiring music promoter Art Walker, he recorded their early material and made them the basis of his Fama Records.
In 1971, the frontman heard a live mariachi song about cross-border drug trafficking, a pivotal moment that would inspire Los Tigres' heartfelt and cinematic songwriting. Their wildly popular first corrido, the polka-driven "Contrabando y Traición" ("Smuggling and Betrayal") even inspired a movie of the same name in 1977.
Just about every year since their emergence, the prolific Northern Mexican cowboys have served as working-class heroes, narrating candidly the lives of the voiceless population in songs that transcend generations — hits like "La Jaula De Oro," "La Bala," "La Puerta Negra," and the recent "Un Consentido de Dios."

Best show I've been to in a long time will be going when they come back
Everything was great as far as the show! The Gas South ushers could use some training on how to speak to guests.
I got this as a gift for my dad who is a huge fan of the tigers of the north.
I enjoyed the beverage and food options available. Afean was clean and staff friendly.
It was fun and worth it my parents came along and said they enjoyed it
They did absolutely amazing. Long show and something I hope to see again.
It was a wonderful experience seeing them, grew up listening to them and now being able to watch them it was the best thing ever. Proud of them and proud of my culture 🇲🇽
It would be nice if handicap seating be together with the rest of the family
I grew up listening to this band with my father. I was very fortunate to see them at a young age live in Mexico and it was amazing to be able to see Them over 20 years later in my home state was amazing. They put on a excellent show.
My brothers and I took our parenta to see this performance and it was amazing! We were so tired from standing and dancing all night but it was definitely worth it. I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of going! We absolutely loved the mariachi and the ballet folklorico. 🩷 100/100
Our experience was generally great. They played at the Adventist Arena is Stockton. Everything was very smooth and organized. Parking was easy since we arrived 40 minutes early. The price was good -- we paid about 850 total for 5 people, in the floor area at about 20 rows out. They played great and included most of the classic songs from 20-30 years ago. The only thing I would change is to get better seats because we were near the aisle and too many people walk in front of you. It is better to pay more and get seats closer to the middle of the floor.
Very nice played alll the hits and enjoyed every minute of there music. Could do with out the Vicente songs they have so many good ones.
So getting checked in and finding parking and our seats went smoothly The row numbers need to be bigger and the sound system for the concert was horrible The experience wasn’t bad it just didn’t sound the best And the nachos were terrible.
Awesome experience. Great show! Fast and easy to check in with e-ticket. Plan to go to more concerts.
The show was awesome I think they did an excellent job on their performance. Even when it was over it wasn’t over. They kept playing and all the workers left because they were officially out of work, but they kept preforming for their fan’s. The only down side to that was since security guards left everyone from the top came to the bottom and blocked all of us that paid to have floor seats. But over all fantastic show. Definitely if you are a fan of Los Tigres del Norte you should try to catch a show.
Tigres 🐯 were awesome great performance, can’t wait to see them again 👍 the show was electric ⚡️
Great venue, great show! Will definitely come again.
The sound at times was too much. This group needs to get a better sound engineer.
Very nice experience! Bought tickets for my parents and they enjoyed every second of this amazing event
