Alejandro Fernández on Tour
He's part of one of Mexico's most revered musical dynasties, son of the famed Vicente Fernández and a beloved singer in his own right. Blessed with movie star good looks, Alejandro actually did flirt with the silver screen at one point, playing Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapata in the film Zapata. But the lure of music has always taken precedence. Known for next-level stage production, Fernández has mingled rancheras with ballads and pop hits in many tours over the years, including the Confidencias tour in 2015 and his 2017 Rompiendo Fronteras tour, which saw the singer taking a pro-migrant stance. For 2020's Hecho en México tour, Fernández embraces traditional mariachi yet again, bringing a stirringly romantic version of his Mexican heritage to adoring audiences around the world.
Alejandro Fernández in Concert
When your father is Mexico's most famous ranchero singer — none other than Vicente Fernández — it can be hard to chart your own course. But Alejandro Fernández has done it, embracing the classic Mexican music that defined his dad's career while experimenting with pop music at the same time. Known in Mexico as "El Potrillo" (The Colt), Fernández got his start onstage at the tender age of six, singing at one of his father's concerts until, paralyzed by fear, he was unable to go on. That stage fright stayed with him for years, and he actually studied architecture before giving singing another shot as an adult. In 1992 he released his self-titled debut album, following it up with the successful Piel De Ni?a in 1993, which launched several hits, including the title track and "A la vera del camino." But it was 1995 that saw Fernández gain international stature with the hit single "Como quien pierde una estrella." His 1997 single "Si tú supieras" became the theme song of the hit telenovela María Isabel, cementing his status as both heartthrob and cultural icon. That single came off the 1997 album Me Estoy Enamorando, which saw the singer successfully expand his repertoire to include pop balladry. The countryside, however, is in Fernández's blood: He's reportedly an excellent horseman and skilled in charrería, the Mexican version of rodeo.

Awesome concert and great venue! Wife and I had a great time!!
My mom and I had an amazing time. Alejandro Fernandez is so entertaining to watch. The music was so perfect. I could have stayed there forever. The venue was really nice and comfy. Staff was really nice and helpful. Bathrooms were really clean too. Easy parking and Valet was really nice, too. We’re definitely going back next month for Chuy Lizárraga.
the venue was large enough for the concert experience but small enough for the up close feel
First of all I gave a railing of 3 not because of Alejandro Fernandez exactly but rather the production. The acoustics were terrible. All I heard was mostly garbled because the sound was simply not clear. I also seemed like he was having issues with the ear piece. The other thing is I know that the audience gets exited and all but I paid a lot of money to hear Alejandro sing not the audience. I love his music and his voice. Also the two girls that come out and I guess sing cannot even be heard and they really seem like an after thought. I really expected more of a professional production. The band was good the trumpets were great. Perhaps the quality of the sound is that the venue just isn’t good with making music sound its best. I was in the second row.
Show was supposed to start @8PM … he did not show up until 8:45…. Very disappointed
Not happy with the concert the venue was great, but he sang all new songs sounded like disco not Mexican old songs like his his father used to sing, and the concert was short, not worth the money
The concert was spectacular the only thing I didn't like was that he showed up 40 minutes late and finished his concert very early.
Alejandro Fernández is simply perfection. Doesn’t matter what venue he’s amazing. This skill was demonstration when he performed in a ballroom at Harrah’s. I felt so bad for the folks sitting on the sides facing a wall. I’ve seen him at the Forum, Plaza de Toro amongst other top venues. Alejandro’s performance didn’t waiver. He gave that craptastic venue a solid performance.
Venue at Toyota pavilion was well organized. The event had easy access to merchandise and beverages that made the experience great.
