Corridos tumbados star Junior H is looking to set another milestone in his already prolific career: conquering the legendary Foro Sol stadium in Mexico City. Mexican promoter Ocesa announced on Monday (Aug 14) that the singer will perform at the storied venue on Nov. 23.

He has also performed alongside other successful Mexican acts like Peso Pluma, Edén Muñoz, Gabito Ballesteros and Alemán.
