As summer fades into fall, Junior H, the crowned prince of corridos tumbados and self-proclaimed “sad boy,” is returning to the stage — just in time to soundtrack your heartbreak season.
On Wednesday, the Mexican singer-songwriter officially announced his $ad Boyz Live & Broken U.S. tour. The 22-date run kicks off on August 31 in Tinley Park, Illinois, and will wrap up with a high-profile performance at the iconic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on November 7.
Sad Boy Energy Takes the Spotlight
Junior H, born Antonio Herrera Pérez, has carved a unique space in regional Mexican music. While he rose to fame with the 2019 viral hit “No Eh Cambiado” and helped popularize corridos tumbados under Rancho Humilde Records, he’s just as well known for bringing emotion, romance, and vulnerability into a genre often dominated by bravado.
“They started categorizing me with sad and sentimental music. So I accepted and we kept it going,” Junior H told The Times earlier this year. “Especially with men, I think it’s important to show people that feelings are not bad and we can express them as we want.”
That authenticity struck a chord with fans — and fueled the success of his 2023 album “$ad Boyz 4 Life II”, which soared to No. 14 on the Billboard 200 chart. Tracks like “Mientras Duermes” and “Y Lloro” blended the melancholic tones of sierreño music with poetic lyrics, confirming Junior H’s place as a genre-defying artist with heart.
A Career Beyond Corridos
While he’s known for collaborations like “Lady Gaga” with Peso Pluma and Gabito Ballesteros, or “Fin de Semana” with Oscar Maydon, Junior H isn’t interested in being boxed in. He’s been vocal about wanting to move beyond the flashy, street-centric narratives often tied to the corridos tumbados movement.
“We can also do nice and beautiful music, not just music for the streets or the narcos and all that s—,” he explained. “That’s our goal: to show them that we do more than that.”
His mission was on full display at Coachella 2025, where he performed on the festival’s main stage as one of the top-billed Latin acts — a major moment not just for Junior H, but for música Mexicana as a whole.

The $ad Boyz Live & Broken Tour will cover major cities across the U.S., giving fans nationwide the chance to experience Junior H’s heartfelt ballads and moody melodies live.
