Luis MiguelAmerican Airlines Center, 2500 Victory Ave.
Yet another reason to pack into American Airlines Center this fall is to see the one and only Luis Miguel on Oct. 29. Name doesn’t ring a bell? Google “Ahora, Te Puedes Marchar,” for a quick reminder — arguably the best song that came out of Latin pop in the '80s. Just as his songs don’t age, neither has Luis Miguel’s voice. Now go watch the Netflix biographical series (two seasons!) to learn about this musical star. At the age of 53, Luis Miguel still has “it,” and we can’t wait to see it. Tickets to Luis Miguel sold out within the first 30 minutes, prompting the addition of a second date in May, but resale tickets are still available.
