From Santander Arena
As Santander Arena continues to celebrate its 25th anniversary year, the venue is adding even more excitement to its 2026 entertainment lineup with the announcement of three new shows featuring Don Omar, Marco Antonio Solís, and Ole 60. The additions further highlight Santander Arena’s commitment to delivering diverse, world-class live entertainment experiences as the venue commemorates 25 years as a premier destination for concerts, sports, and community events in eastern Pennsylvania.
“We are excited to add three shows to our 25th Anniversary Season at the Santander Arena,” explained Oak View Group General Manager David Farrar. “Being able to bring back Don Omar and Marco Antonio Solís, who have both previously sold out our venue, is really exciting, but the addition of Ole 60 for a headlining show is also a milestone moment for the band and the Arena, as they previously played here as an opener in 2024 as part of our annual Bulls, Bands and Barrels event.”
Marco Antonio Solís will bring his “TOUR GRATITUD 2026!” to the Santander Arena in Reading on Aug. 21. Don Omar will then kick off “The Last King World Tour” at the arena on Sept. 25, followed by country band Ole 60 bringing their “Off The Grid Tour” to Reading on Oct. 2. Tickets to Ole 60 go on sale May 21 at 10 a.m. online at Ticketmaster. Tickets to Marco Antonio Solis and Don Omar go on sale May 22 at 10 a.m. online at Ticketmaster.
About Don Omar
William Omar Landrón Rivera, better known as Don Omar, is a powerhouse in the entertainment world. A true multi-hyphenate, he’s a celebrated reggaeton artist, songwriter, music producer, actor, entrepreneur, and even a racecar driver. Nicknamed El Rey or The King of Reggaeton, Don Omar’s influence stretches far beyond music, shaping the cultural landscape of Latin America and beyond.
His journey to stardom began with the release of his debut album, The Last Don, in 2003, which launched him onto the global stage. In 2006, his follow-up album King of Kings shattered records, debuting at number one on the Billboard Latin charts and climbing to number seven on the Billboard 200 — the highest chart position for a reggaeton album at the time. With numerous multi-platinum records, Latin GRAMMY wins, and billions of streams under his belt, Don Omar continues to be a force in the music industry.
But his talents don’t stop there. As an actor, Don Omar is widely recognized for his recurring role as Rico Santos in Vin Diesel’s Fast & Furious franchise, appearing in five films. His songs have also made their way into the soundtracks of this globally successful saga.
Offstage, Don Omar channels his creativity into business, building a thriving entrepreneurial empire that reflects his vision and drive. Whether he’s reinventing reggaeton, dominating arenas, or leaving his mark on Hollywood, Don Omar’s journey is one of passion, reinvention, and relentless success — a testament to his status as a true cultural icon.
About Marco Antonio Solis
Marco Antonio Solís began his music career in 1970 with his cousin Joel Solís in a duo that later became the legendary band Los Bukis. The group achieved massive success across Latin America with hits like “Tu Cárcel,” “Mi Fantasía,” and “Cómo Fui a Enamorarme de Ti,” earning multiple Gold, Platinum, and Diamond records.
After two decades with Los Bukis, Solís launched a solo career in 1995. His debut album En Pleno Vuelo became an instant success, topping Billboard Latin charts and selling over half a million copies in its first week. Over the years, he released numerous hit albums and became one of the most respected Latin singer-songwriters and producers in the industry.
Known as “El Buki” and “The Poet of the Century,” Solís has written more than 300 songs recorded by artists such as Enrique Iglesias, Paulina Rubio, and Rocío Dúrcal.
Throughout his career, Solís has earned numerous honors, including multiple Latin Grammys, Billboard awards, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2017, he voiced Ernesto de la Cruz in the Spanish version of Disney/Pixar’s Coco. Today, he remains one of the most influential and celebrated figures in Latin music.
About Ole 60
Made in Hancock County, KY, Ole 60 is not your father’s country band. Caught in the crosshairs of indie rock sonics, folk songwriting, and country sensibilities, the six-piece from Hawesville shot to notoriety in 2024 with “smoke & a light,” topping Spotify’s U.S. Viral Top 50 chart with the on-fire single and the Apple Music Country Albums chart with their debut EP, three twenty four, surpassing genre titans Zach Bryan and Morgan Wallen in the process. They did it again with sophomore EP Songs About You and breakout hit, “Thoughts of You,” topping TikTok’s all-genre Viral 50 Music chart.
Heavily influenced by Smashing Pumpkins, Metallica, Radiohead, John Prine, and Nicholas Jamerson, with over 700 million global career streams, the band delivers with “solid musicianship, a willingness to experiment with sounds from psychedelic-tinged rock to more stripped-down fare, and a penchant for detailed storytelling” (Billboard). Headlining nationwide now, the boys from Kentucky just released their debut album, Smokestack Town, and surprise follow-up single, “Can’t Take It With You.”
