Peso Pluma cancels Florida concerts post-Hurricane Milton, donates to hurricane relief

Date:

As Peso Pluma comes to the end of his Éxodo Tour, he is canceling his two stops in Florida “to stand in solidarity with those affected by the recent hurricanes.”

The “Ella Baila Sola” singer’s scheduled shows at Tampa’s Amalie Arena (Oct. 16) and Miami’s Kaseya Center (Oct. 17) will no longer mark the end of his nearly 40-date headlining tour; Ticketmaster purchases will be automatically refunded, and fans with tickets from third-party resale websites can reach out to their point of purchase.

The tour will now end with his concert in Greensboro, North Carolina, Sunday.

“In addition, with his label Double P Records and management Prajin Parlay Inc., Peso has donated funds to local hurricane relief organizations,” Friday’s press release reads. “Our entire family at Double P Records/Prajin Parlay Inc. prays for everyone affected to have a speedy recovery.”

The announcement did not specify which organizations benefitted from Pluma’s donations.

The Éxodo Tour, in support of his latest album of the same name that released in June, launched in July. Last year, Doble P told USA TODAY his hits are part of a regional Mexican music genre that “is no longer regional music anymore. This is global, and everyone is listening to Mexican music all over the world.”

As several major airports and tourist attractions in Florida reopened Friday, rescue crews continued to pull people from floodwaters as nearly 2 million utility customers remained without power, according to USA TODAY’s outage tracker.

Hurricane Milton slammed into Florida’s already storm-blasted west coast Wednesday evening as a Category 3 hurricane threatening huge swaths of Tampa Bay, Sarasota and regions still reeling from the destruction of Helene.

However, the worst damage from Milton came from the over 30 tornadoes that the hurricane spawned, according to FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell.

The latest hurricane strike comes on the heels of Helene, which left a trail of devastated communities across Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee. Helene, which first hit Florida as a category 4 hurricane on Sept. 26, killed more than 200 people.
