Grupo Firme Thrives Globally Amidst US Visa Delays
18 Jul
Summary
- Grupo Firme's European tour is a success due to US visa issues.
- The band has sold 80% of tickets for Spain dates.
- They aim to expand into Europe with four September dates.
Grupo Firme is experiencing significant international success, particularly in Europe, after facing challenges with U.S. visas. The band's manager, Isael Gutiérrez, revealed that their inability to secure U.S. visas prompted exploration of alternative touring options, which have proven "magnificent" with sold-out performances.
This redirection has led to successful tours across Mexico, Central America, and South America. Grupo Firme is now preparing for their first European tour, with four dates scheduled in Spain during September. Remarkably, 80% of tickets for these Spanish shows were sold two months in advance, underscoring their growing global fan base.
The band recently set a record for a regional Mexican artist at Mexico City's GNP Seguros Stadium. Despite ongoing "administrative process" for their U.S. visas, the group has maintained a strong presence and is expanding its reach into new international markets.
