Maná set a rare residency at Yaamava' Theater — Apr 8 is one of just six U.S. nights in 2027

The Mexican rock giants will play a 3,000-capacity room in Highland next spring, and the residency is billed as their only U.S. shows of the year.

For most of the last two years, seeing Maná in Southern California has meant an arena: a long walk from the parking lot, a band the size of your thumbnail, and thousands of people singing every word. Next spring, the Inland Empire gets something very different.

Maná will play Yaamava' Theater in Highland on Thursday, April 8, 2027, at 8 p.m. Tickets are through AXS. The room holds about 3,000 — a fraction of the buildings the band has been filling on its current run.

April 8 is part of a short residency at the San Manuel-owned resort. Announcing the run, the casino set six dates in total: April 6, 8 and 11, then September 1, 2 and 6, 2027. The headline detail is that those six nights are slated to be Maná's only U.S. performances in 2027. If you're anywhere between Riverside and the high desert and you want to see this band next year without a plane ticket, this is it.

Those six nights are slated to be Maná's only U.S. performances in 2027.

The timing has a nice symmetry. Maná's self-titled debut album turns 40 in May 2027, just weeks after the residency's spring shows — so the April nights arrive right on the doorstep of a milestone for a band that has spent four decades as the biggest name in Latin rock. Whether the setlist leans into that anniversary hasn't been announced, but it's hard to imagine a better setting to hear the deep catalog than a seated theater where you can actually see Fher Olvera's face.

The residency also follows a long stretch on the road. Maná's Vivir Sin Aire Tour has been running arena dates across North America since 2025, and it was extended into 2026 after the 2025 leg closed out. Trading that scale for a 3,000-seat room is the point of a residency like this: fewer people, better sightlines, and a band that knows it doesn't have to play to the rafters.

Yaamava' Theater itself is still a relatively new addition to the region's circuit. The venue at 777 San Manuel Boulevard opened in 2022 at what is now Yaamava' Resort & Casino, and in a few short years it has become one of the main stops for touring acts who want something more intimate than an arena without leaving the 10 and 210 corridor.

What to know before buying: the April run is three dates across a single week, so if Thursday doesn't work, Tuesday the 6th and Sunday the 11th are the alternates in the spring block, with September as the backup plan. Demand for a band of this size in a room of this size will be steep, so watch AXS closely and buy only from the official link above.

Every family in the IE has a Maná song that means something. Next April, a few thousand of them will get to hear it up close.
