A Laptop & The Power of Manifestation: How Rawayana Envisioned Its Historic Arena Tour

Venezuelan band Rawayana has turned an early tour concept, presented to Live Nation on a laptop, into its first world arena tour. At a Billboard Latin Music Week panel, the musicians and Live Nation executive Hans Schafer discussed how the group’s clear vision and evolving sound helped it reach this milestone.

The tour, named ¿Dónde Es El After?, began in April and has sold out arenas in Europe and Latin America; its North American leg includes 23 dates, with three sold-out Miami shows planned for December. The tour supports the band’s album of the same name, nominated for album of the year at the 2026 Latin Grammys. Rawayana also spoke about learning the music business independently in Venezuela, drawing inspiration from Los Amigos Invisibles and Cultura Profética, and adapting its creative approach after the pandemic.
