Puerto Rican singer Nicky Jam announced a concert in Colombia; the artist will perform at the Estadio El Campin in Bogota on June 6. The date marks his official return to the country with a solo show, after several years without headlining a concert in Colombian territory.
The event, scheduled for Saturday, June 6, 2026, is expected to be one of the year’s major musical highlights in the capital. In addition to presenting his latest studio album, Bohemio, the artist will celebrate more than two decades of career in the urban genre, firmly established as one of the international pioneers of reggaeton.
The performance carries special significance, as it will be the first time Nicky Jam headlines a concert as the main act at El Campin, one of the country’s most iconic venues.
Expectations are high among fans, especially following his 2025 appearance as a special guest of J Balvin at the Ciudad Primavera festival. That appearance sparked nostalgia among audiences and fueled rumors of a possible solo comeback, now officially confirmed.
Nicky in Bogota: a long-awaited return after eight years without a solo show
Although Nicky Jam has maintained a steady presence in the Latin American music scene, this will be his first performance in Colombia as a headlining artist in approximately eight years. During that time, the singer has released new music, collaborated internationally, and strengthened his global profile.
The Bogota concert will not focus solely on his new album Bohemio; it will also feature a journey through the songs that marked his artistic rebirth and worldwide consolidation. Tracks such as “Travesuras,” “El Perdon,” and “Hasta el Amanecer” are part of a repertoire that has transcended generations and continues to be sung along to on stages around the world.
The production promises a large-scale spectacle befitting the magnitude of the venue. El Campin has hosted some of the most important concerts in the country’s recent history, and Nicky Jam’s presence as the central figure reaffirms reggaeton’s status as one of the most powerful and widely attended genres in Colombia.
Nicky Jam’s connection with Colombia
Beyond music, the bond between Nicky Jam and Colombia has a deeply personal dimension. Early in his artistic career, the singer went through a difficult period in the late 2000s that led him to rethink his path. It was then that he decided to move to Medellin between 2007 and 2010.
In Medellin, he found a creative environment that fueled his artistic transformation. Local producers and fellow artists supported him at a crucial moment. The singer himself has acknowledged in multiple interviews: “I owe my success to Colombia.” In the country, he managed to rebuild his confidence, reconnect with audiences, and lay the foundation for the most successful stage of his career.
From Medellin, he forged key collaborations — among them with J Balvin — that helped him connect with a younger generation and become part of the new wave of reggaeton. It was also during this period that he redefined his musical identity, giving rise to a more mature version of himself that later achieved global success with hits such as “El Perdon” and “Hasta el Amanecer.”
That relationship went beyond the artistic. Nicky Jam considers Colombia his second homeland and even acquired Colombian nationality, strengthening an emotional and cultural bond that is now reflected in his return to the country’s stages.
