Singers Joan Sebastian, Pepe Aguilar and Shaila Durcal, three major artists in Mexican music, are heading to 15 cities as part of a U.S. tour that kicks off June 22 in Washington, D.C., the artists announced during a press conference in Los Angeles.

Originally reported by Billboard, the tour will officially be called "Dejando Huella… Una Historia Musical," and is being produced by Viva Entertainment Network in conjunction with the Chicago-based Cárdenas Marketing Network and Agave Promotions.

While Billboard initially reported Yuridia would be the opening act, it will now be Durcal who will open most of the shows while Silvestre Dangond will open the second show of the tour in New York on June 24 at the IZOD Center.

The tour will include Latin equestrian shows that have traditionally been part of Aguilar and Sebastian's sets in addition to "jaripeo" performances that are considered a form of bull riding practiced in Mexico.
