Luis Miguel has had an incredibly successful tour. "El Sol de Mexico" has embarked on one of the world's most successful tours, taking him across the US, Latin America, and Europe. The tour started small, only having 40 dates. It quickly increased the number of shows, ramping up to 100 due to the number of ticket sales. In a recent Instagram story, Luis Miguel likened his success to that of Taylor Swift, the biggest pop star making music today.
