Jesse & Joy's 'El Amor de México' tour reaches Petco Park on April 18

The Mexican pop duo's name returns to San Diego for the first time since 2024, though reports say Joy Huerta is fronting the 2027 dates on her own.

For a lot of San Diego fans, Jesse & Joy songs are part of the soundtrack of the last two decades of Latin pop. The name is back on a local bill next spring, but the show will look a little different from the last time.

Jesse & Joy plays Petco Park in San Diego on Sunday, April 18, 2027, with the show starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster. The date was announced Oct. 26, and it's the act's first San Diego-area show since Oct. 11, 2024, at Audiorama El Trompo.

The stop is part of the El Amor de México tour, and the biggest change since 2024 is who's out front. According to reports from The Music Universe and Mexico's LOS40, Joy Huerta is leading the 2027 dates while her brother Jesse develops a solo project, Jesse & The Supernovas. LOS40 reported on Oct. 22 that Joy's 2027 concerts, including a run at Mexico City's Auditorio Nacional, would happen without Jesse on stage. Fans buying for the San Diego date should go in knowing that.

The tour itself is substantial. The Mexican leg runs from February into March 2027, with a Feb. 14 show at the Auditorio Nacional, and U.S. and Canadian dates follow in April and May. San Diego lands early in that North American stretch, on a Sunday night.

The biggest change since 2024 is who's out front.

What hasn't changed is the catalog. Jesse & Joy built one of the most recognizable songbooks in Mexican pop, and in 2024 the duo was touring its Clichés shows, which included an Auditorio Nacional date in Mexico City that February. Those songs are the reason a two-and-a-half-year absence from San Diego has felt long to the people who follow them.

For a border city with deep ties to Mexican pop, a date under this name at Petco Park is a big one, and the tour title, El Amor de México, makes it clear what kind of night this is meant to be: a celebration of the music and the audience on both sides of the line.

When to buy: tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster, and the link is on this page. Check the listing for seating details before you buy.

What to know: 7 p.m. start on a Sunday. Go knowing that, per the reports, Joy is the one fronting these dates, and judge the night on the songs.

It has been two and a half years. On April 18, the music comes back to San Diego, even if the lineup on stage has changed.
