Univision’s Spanish-language awards show will have the biggest names in Latin music duking it out for some of the biggest honors in entertainment, including the Tour of the Year award.
Premio Lo Nuestro (which translates to “Our Award”) unveiled its nominations Tuesday, and among the 11 general awards is Tour of the Year, a category with a stacked list of talented artists who dominated the live entertainment industry in 2022.
The nominees for Tour the Year are Bad Bunny (for both El Último Tour Del Mundo and World’s Hottest Tour), Rosalía (Motomami World Tour), Daddy Yankee (La Última Vuelta World Tour), Karol G ($trip Love Tour), Maluma (Papi Juancho World Tour), Grupo Firme (Enfiestados Y Amanecidos Tour), Wisin & Yandel (La Última Misión World Tour), Camilo (De Adentro Pa Afuera World Tour), Sebastián Yatra (Dharma World Tour) and Los Ángeles Azules (De Iztapalapa Para El Mundo Tour).
Fans have until Feb. 5 to vote for their favorite tour and the other categories on the awards website, premiolonuestro.com/vota. The awards show will broadcast from Miami-Dade Arena on Univision Thursday, Feb. 23.
Seven of the 10 nominees appeared on Pollstar’s Top 200 Year-End Worldwide Tours of 2022 with Bad Bunny leading not only Latin musicians, but all artists as the top earner. The Puerto Rican superstar set the all-time record for highest-grossing tour in a single calendar year with a mammoth $435,388,660, according to box office reports submitted to Pollstar, surpassing Ed Sheeran’s 2018 run with the “Divide Tour,” which earned $432.4 million.

“I think we all feel very proud of what he’s accomplished,” Hans Schafer, SVP of Global Touring at Live Nation, which promoted the tour, told Pollstar in December. “It’s a feat that is remarkable. It is huge for Latin music and unprecedented and a remarkable accomplishment on its own, regardless of genre to see an artist of his age reaching those heights is just something that makes it very promising for us, of what the future holds.”

Karol G also had a remarkable year, ranking No. 17 on Pollstar’s Year-End Worldwide Tour list with an impressive haul of $97.2 million. She was the second-highest ranked female artist on the list and her “$trip Love Tour” was the highest-grossing U.S. tour for a female Latin concert headliner.
