The residence will have two monthly concerts, with more dates added to fit demand. We’re not thinking about breaking records, we’re thinking about ‘let´s go and play and play as long as people want to see us there,’” said González. “It’s going to be fun and exciting and emotional because we don’t know what the outcome is going to be. In 2019 Maná broke a record at The Forum with seven concerts in a year, beating Kanye West and The Eagles. Los Angeles’ love for the band, which has won four Grammys and seven Latin Grammys, hasn’t abated. “Our first show was at the Hollywood Palladium back in 1993 when we were touring with ‘❽ónde Jugarán los Niños?’ and from there it exploded and took off to the rest of the country in the United States.” “Los Angeles is like our second home after Guadalajara, and that’s basically where our career started when the whole ‘rock en español’ movement took off,” he said. Tickets will go on sale Friday via Ticketmaster. The residency announced on Monday will begin next year with the first dates scheduled for March 18 and 19 and April 22 and 23. “We’re very excited, very happy to be back, it’s more than two years since we played our last show,” said drummer Alex Gonzalez via videocall from the band’s hometown of Guadalajara, México.
