Colombian singer Karol G, fresh off a headlining performance at Coachella, will capitalize on that exposure with a world tour that will come to AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Thursday, October 15.

Starting on July 24 in Chicago, Illinois, the “Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour" - which literally means "traveling around the world" - will stop in 39 cities around the globe over the course of exactly one year, ending in Milan, Italy on July 24, 2027.

In addition to Arlington, Karol G will play Texas shows in San Antonio on September 2, El Paso on September 6, and Houston on September 27.

The tour will see the singer become the first Latina artist to headline stadiums across Europe as part of a global tour.

The first Latina artist to headline Coachella, Karol G has slowly but surely made her way into superstar status.

After appearing on the Colombian music competition show El Factor X at age 14, she released multiple songs independently before putting out her debut album, Unstoppable, in 2017.

That album went to No. 2 on Billboard's Top Latin Albums chart, and each of her subsequent four albums has gone to No. 2 or No. 1 there. Each of her last two albums, most recently Tropicoqueta in 2025, made the top 3 on the overall Billboard 200.

Karol G has also collaborated with many other big Latin stars, including fellow Colombian Shakira, Becky G, Peso Pluma, Anuel AA, J Balvin, and more.

Tickets for the tour, promoted by Live Nation, will be available starting on Monday, April 27 through various presales.

To be eligible for the artist presale in the USA, Canada, and Europe, fans must register at karolgmusic.com by Friday, April 24 at 9 am.

General on-sale timing will vary by market. Fans should check karolgmusic.com for specific details regarding their city.

Movie Review

Great acting and directing drive The Christophers to artistic heights

Michaela Coel and Ian McKellen in The Christophers.

Director Steven Soderbergh is one of those filmmakers who — aside from the Ocean’s series — never seems to make the same kind of movie twice. He is somehow able to adapt his abilities to all sorts of different stories, making each of them as compelling as any other. His latest masterclass is in the London-set film, The Christophers.

Lori Butler (Michaela Coel), who restores art for a living, is approached by brother and sister Sallie and Barnaby Sklar (Jessica Gunning and James Corden) with a scheme. They want her to become the new assistant for their aging father, Julian (Ian McKellen), a famous artist known for a series called “The Christophers,” in order to gain access to unfinished paintings from the series and complete them herself.

Lori accepts the deal despite having some uneasy feelings about Julian, with whom she had a bad interaction years ago. Julian is just as wary, both because he knows of his children’s interest in the unfinished works, and because he would prefer to be left in peace. Although the trepidation on both sides continues for the bulk of the story, a grudging respect arises between two artists who know skill when they see it.

Directed by Soderbergh and written by Ed Solomon, who last collaborated on No Sudden Move, the film is astonishing in its ability to be compelling with such a small story. Much of the film is spent inside Julian’s multi-story home as Julian and Lori have low-level confrontations about a variety of things, including the meaning of his art, her abilities, the fate of the remaining “Christophers,” and more. Each conversation brings out more detail about their worldviews and their thoughts about their lot in life.

Much of the success of the film lies in the performances of McKellen and Coel. The 86-year-old McKellen has not lost his ability to astonish with the spoken word, and the monologues he delivers are engrossing even when they’re about mundane things. Coel, best known for the 2020 HBO show I May Destroy You, is a great foil for McKellen, never backing down from his challenges and giving her own unique takes on her lines.

While the film can be enjoyable for non-art lovers, those who appreciate the vagaries of the art world will have a lot to chew on. Soderbergh and Solomon debate a lot of aspects of art, including whether it’s possible to separate the art from the person making it, why some art is valued more than others, the ethics of forgery, and more. Because the film is about a fictional artist, it gives the filmmakers a bit more freedom in their criticisms.

Aside from McKellen and Coel, Gunning (Baby Reindeer) and Corden are the only other two people who get significant screen time in the film. Both of them are, let’s say, acquired tastes, and each gives an elevated performance that matches the energy of their respective characters. Tilly Botsford makes a nice impression in a small role as Julian’s masseuse.

Soderbergh’s last three films — Presence, Black Bag, and now The Christophers — have nothing in common other than the expert filmmaker helming all of them. When you can make a ghost story, a spy film, and a small film about artists equally interesting, you know you’re doing something right.

The Christophers is now playing in theaters.
