Flex, La Factoría and Makano bring a Panamanian triple bill to the Granada

Three acts from Panama's Latin urban scene share one stage on Massachusetts Street on Saturday, Nov. 14.

Three names from Panama's Latin urban scene, one stage on Mass Street. Makano, La Factoría and Flex play the Granada on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, at 1020 Massachusetts St. The venue lists doors at 7pm and the show at 8pm, and tickets are through the venue's Etix page.

The Lawrence date was announced Oct. 20, but it's one stop on a tour that has been running across the US since summer. The three acts, billed on most posters as "Flex, La Factoría y Makano," played Joe's Live in Rosemont, Ill., on Aug. 7, the Melrose Ballroom in Queens on Sept. 19, Providence's Strand Theatre on Sept. 26 and the Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 9. A House of Blues Dallas date is listed for Nov. 28, two weeks after Lawrence.

The New York listing for the tour describes them simply: Panamanian reggaeton and Latin urban artists. That's the draw. Rather than one headliner with an opener, this is three acts on one bill, and that tends to bring out a crowd that has followed them for years and drives in to sing along.

The Granada is the right room for it. With about 800 capacity, it's large enough for a real dance floor and small enough that the back of the room still feels close to the stage. A bill like this lives on call-and-response, and the room is built for it.

It also matters that this is happening in Lawrence. The tour's other stops are in big metros: Chicago's suburbs, Queens, D.C., Dallas. Lawrence gets its own night downtown on a Saturday. For fans who don't want to drive to the city or wait for the next Dallas date, it's a chance that doesn't come around every year.

A couple of practical notes. The venue lists doors at 7pm and the show at 8pm, so plan to arrive early. Some dates on this tour added a fourth act, Demphra or Josenid depending on the city, but no extra name has been confirmed for Lawrence. Resale prices on some sites are already well above face value, so buy through the Granada's Etix page first.

Bring comfortable shoes. Nobody stands still at a show like this.
