The world of urban music is preparing for a historic moment. Don Omar, one of reggaeton’s most prominent references, has confirmed that 2026 will be his last year on stage, putting an end to a career of more than 25 years marked by global successes and a profound influence on the genre. In this context, the artist will visit Spain as part of his farewell tour, with a concert scheduled for July 18, 2026 at the Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville, as part of a special edition of the Cook Music Fest.
This announcement has not only created an enormous expectation among his followers, but has also triggered an avalanche of interest in the tickets, which are on sale with the clear intention of allowing Spanish fans to experience up close one of the most emblematic moments in the career of the “King of Reggaeton”.
A long-awaited concert in Seville
Don Omar ‘s concert in Seville will be one of the key dates of his farewell tour in Europe. The performance is part of the Cook Music Fest, a festival that has already confirmed several big music stars for the summer of 2026.
Tickets will be available from Monday, December 29, starting at 12:00 noon, and can be purchased through the festival’s official website(www.cookmusicfest.es) or through the Vivaticket platform .

The organization has advanced that a high demand is expected from the first moment, so it is recommended to those interested to access the sales platform in advance to avoid setbacks. The previous experience with ticket sales in Tenerife, where the more than 40,000 tickets available were sold out in about an hour, serves as a warning of how quickly the same could happen in Seville.
Ticket types and access conditions
The Cook Music Fest will make available to fans different types of tickets and locations within the Estadio de La Cartuja. Prices will start from 60.50 euros, including management fees. This variety of options seeks to facilitate access to the concert to the largest possible number of fans of Don Omar.
In order to minimize resale and encourage direct purchases by fans, a maximum limit of six tickets per buyer has been established. This measure is intended to allow more people to purchase tickets without a few people monopolizing all available tickets from the start.
Regarding the attendance of minors, the organization has clarified that minors under 16 years of age may attend the concert, but must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. In addition, all those under 18 years of age must first download the authorization for minors from the official website, and present it along with the ticket on the day of the event.
Spanish dates of the farewell tour
Don Omar’s visit to Spain in 2026 includes two confirmed stops as part of his final tour. The first one took place in Tenerife on July 16, within the same Cook Music Fest, and tickets were sold out in little more than an hour after going on sale last December 12. This massive response encouraged the promoters to add a second date in Spain, which will take place in Seville on July 18.

The decision to extend the dates in Spain is a direct response to the great reception received from the public and Don Omar’s desire to say goodbye to his Spanish fans in a special and massive way.
A legendary career comes to an end
Don Omar has not only been one of the leading exponents of reggaeton since the late 1990s and early 2000s, but he has also left an indelible mark on urban music globally. With songs that have become anthems and collaborations with artists from various genres, his impact goes beyond the charts.
Beyond the concert in Seville, the artist has announced that his final farewell will include more than live performances. A compilation album of his best hits is planned, with emblematic songs such as Dile and Pobre Diabla, as well as a second album with unreleased songs. This new material, which will be released in 2026, will feature notable collaborations, reaffirming Don Omar’s artistic relevance even at the time of his retirement.
He has also expressed his desire to collaborate with new generations of musicians, something he considers important to leave a lasting mark on the world of urban music. According to him, working with emerging talent is “extremely important” and is part of his artistic vision for this closing stage.
Farewell to an urban legend
The decision to retire does not come at an easy time or away from important personal events. In June of last year, Don Omar shared with his followers that he had been diagnosed with cancer, although the disease was detected in time and, after surgery, he assured that he would be free of it. Beyond this experience, he has recognized that he is in a more mature stage of his life, which has influenced his decision to leave the stage.
Although in 2017 he had already announced a temporary retirement (when he did the Forever King… The Last Tour), the artist returned to the music scene with collaborations and new music. However, this time the retirement is definitive: “Daddy Yankee retired, Héctor El Father today has his new life. I believe that time will continue to demand that each one of us look towards the moment in which we have to pass the baton,” he said in a recent interview with Telemundo, reaffirming his intention to close this stage with coherence and emotion.
