J. Balvin’s “Back to the Rayo” Tour rolled into Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center on Mother’s Day, and it was an epic night full of energy, great vibes, and plenty of fan love.

The place was almost packed, with a bunch of Colombian fans rocking the country’s colors—yellow, blue, and red—showing some serious pride for J. Balvin’s roots. The whole event was another win for CMN Events, who put on a slick, well-produced show.

The concert kicked off with a cool animation that reminded everyone of “Back to the Future”—you know, a car revving up and speeding away. Then, the track “Swat” started playing as a car slowly rolled onto the stage. When it stopped, J. Balvin stepped out, and the crowd went wild.

One of the biggest moments came when he played “Azul,” a song that’s blowing up on TikTok with its catchy dance. Almost everyone was filming themselves dancing along with J. Balvin, making it feel like one big party.

He also performed other fan favorites like “No Me Conoce,” “X,” and “I Like It,” keeping the energy high all night. A fun highlight was when a giant inflatable head that looked like J. Balvin popped up on stage, along with huge blow-up hands on the other side of the venue. That set the vibe for “La Canción,” his collab with Bad Bunny, which got the loudest cheers from the crowd.

Even though J. Balvin hadn’t toured since 2019’s “Arcoiris Tour,” he showed no signs of slowing down. Selling out the show on Mother’s Day just proves how much love he still has from fans.

All in all, the Sacramento stop on the “Back to the Rayo” Tour was a great time—full of throwback hits, fun moments, and a crowd that was totally into it. Check out the photos from the event down below!
