Puerto Rican artist Rauw Alejandro’s 2023 Saturno World Tour kicked off in February in the Dominican Republic, followed by dates in Puerto Rico, the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Central America. The Saturno tour, and album of the same name, put Alejandro’s talent for world-building front and center. Skits and interludes from the album are integrated into the concert, threading a plotline where he’s lost in a galaxy filled with vaporwave visuals that give a heavy nod to the futurism of the 80s and 90s. The live show is the natural extension of that aesthetic and sonic identity: Miami bass, vibrant colors, holographic aliens, a galactic stage design, and precise choreography coming together to tell a cohesive story. The highly automated, in-the-round tour design feels like an immersive outer space experience and allows the crowd to orbit Alejandro, feeding further into the planetary theme. The tour’s Creative Director is Adrian Martinez.
