María José opens her US Tour 2026 in San Antonio — not in Los Angeles, not in Houston, but here. October 21 at the Aztec Theatre is the first night of an eight-city run that stretches through Texas and California before finishing in Las Vegas. She’s co-headlining with Moenia, and if you’ve followed Mexican pop since the early ’90s, both names carry real weight.
About María José
María José Loyola Anaya — known to her fanbase as La Josa — spent 13 years in Kabah, one of the defining pop acts of 1990s Mexico. The group’s catalog included “Al pasar” and “Encontré el amor” and produced multiple Gold and Platinum albums before the group dissolved in 2005. She built a solo career from scratch after.
The 2009 album Amante de lo Ajeno established her as a solo force: Platinum-plus-Gold certified, number two on Mexico’s albums chart, anchored by the hit “No Soy una Señora” — “I’m not a lady” — which became a signature song. The 2012 album De Noche followed with the double-Platinum power ballad “El Amor Manda,” written alongside Ana Bárbara and Paty Cantú. She won the 2009 Oye! Award for Female Soloist and the 2012 Monitor Latino Award for Revelation of the Year, and coached on La Voz Mexico in 2020. “What makes this tour so special,” she said in announcing the run, “is that it’s not just about revisiting great songs — it’s about celebrating everything we’ve lived through with our fans.”
On the Bill: Moenia
Moenia co-headlines. The Mexico City synth-pop act brings their own deep ’90s catalog and released Temporal in March 2026. “This is going to be a fun and energetic tour,” their vocalist said, “because we’ll be sharing the stage with La Josa, who has a huge fan base.” Between the two acts, that’s thirty-plus years of Mexican pop history in a single theater-scale evening — Live Nation is deliberately routing this through intimate venues rather than arenas.
About the Aztec Theatre
The Aztec Theatre marks its centennial in 2026 — it opened June 4, 1926, and this concert falls in that milestone year. Designed by Meyer and Holler — the same firm behind Grauman’s Egyptian and Chinese Theatres in Hollywood — the interior is Meso-American-inspired: murals, columns, and authentic artifact reproductions throughout. Capacity is 1,477. It sits at 104 N. St. Mary’s St. in downtown San Antonio, steps from the Riverwalk.
