His first El Paso date since July 2022 comes after a 35th-anniversary year, a new label home and a new album.

The last time Pancho Barraza sang in El Paso, it was July 22, 2022, at the El Paso County Coliseum. He is coming back to the same room, and a lot has happened in between.

Pancho Barraza plays the El Paso County Coliseum on Sunday, Jan. 24, 2027, at 7 p.m. The date was announced Oct. 26. Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster, where the show is listed as part of his El Regreso Tour 2027. The Coliseum holds about 5,250.

That tour name, "the return," fits El Paso better than most stops. Four and a half years is a long gap for a singer whose romantic banda ballads are a fixture at weddings, quinceañeras and Sunday family gatherings on both sides of the border.

Since that 2022 show, Barraza has changed labels and marked a milestone. He signed with Fonovisa Records in November 2024, as Billboard Español reported, a new stage in a long career. Milenio reported that his 35 years in music were completed in 2025 and that a dedicated anniversary album was on the way, with duets recorded alongside Banda MS, Banda La Adictiva, Los Dos Carnales, Piso 21 and Lucero. iHeart lists *35 Aniversario* as released in April 2026.

He spent 2026 on the road celebrating. His 35 Aniversario Tour 2026 played arenas and plazas across Mexico and into the United States, including a Guadalajara show that Uno TV covered, and a November date at Estadio Arturo C. Nahl in La Paz reported by Posta. In May he headlined Tijuana's Flori Fest alongside Los Ángeles Azules and Conjunto Primavera, according to El Imparcial.

So the El Paso show arrives with fresh material and a catalog that has just been celebrated, in a year when he has been playing to big rooms on both sides of the line. Expect the anniversary album to share the night with the songs El Paso already knows by heart.

The Coliseum is the right size for it. It is the room he played last time, and it is large enough for a Sunday-night crowd that tends to bring three generations to the same show.

If you are planning to go, it is a Sunday in late January, so plan your ride and your Monday morning accordingly. Bring your voice for the "Ay amá" moments, and bring whoever in the family taught you the words.
