For a lot of families on both sides of the Rio Grande, "Él me mintió" isn't just a song. It's the one that came on at every carne asada, the one your tía sang along to with her eyes shut. This winter it comes back live: Amanda Miguel plays the Gimnasio Universitario UACJ in Ciudad Juárez on Saturday, Feb. 13, 2027, the night before Valentine's Day.

The date is on the events page of Amanda Miguel's official site, listed as Amanda Miguel en Ciudad Juárez at the Gimnasio Universitario de la UACJ. Prices and the full on-sale schedule weren't posted on the official pages we checked, so watch her site for the authorized ticket link before buying anywhere else.

Don't confuse it with an earlier one: Amanda Miguel has played Juárez before on this tour cycle, at a different venue, the Gimnasio Josué Neri Santos. The February date is a new show in a new room.

The tour is called "Él me mintió," after her signature song, and it marks a career Mexican press have put at 45 years. The run opened in Baja California at the end of January 2026. El Imparcial reported the first dates as the Palenque del FEX in Mexicali on Jan. 30 and the Audiorama El Trompo in Tijuana the next night. When she reached Tijuana, ZETA wrote about a show that moved easily between jokes and grief. She got a big laugh with the line "Podemos ser despechadas pero migajeras jamás," she dedicated "Close To You" to her late husband, Diego Verdaguer, while photos of the couple in their youth played on screen, and at the crowd's request she closed with "Así no te amará jamás" and "Él me mintió."

That mix of humor and heartbreak is what people buy a ticket for, and the room should suit it. The Gimnasio Universitario is the Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez's indoor arena, home to its basketball and volleyball teams. Wikipedia lists it as built in 1985 with about 4,347 seats. That's large enough to feel like an occasion and small enough that a ballad still lands like a private conversation. Our data puts her usual headline rooms at around the same size, so this is the right scale for her.

For El Paso readers, the planning is mostly about the border. A Saturday night show in Juárez means checking the bridge wait times before you leave, giving yourself a cushion for the trip back, and bringing your passport or passport card. Lots of fans make a night of it with dinner on the Mexican side first. Plenty of others will go as a family, the same way they listened to these songs, three generations in one row.

It's a Valentine's weekend show by a singer whose best-known songs are about love going wrong, and that's exactly why it'll be loud. Bring tissues, bring your mom, and be ready to sing the chorus of "Él me mintió" louder than you meant to.
