Karen Espinosa announces Aceite Nuevo Tour dates
The trek kicks off October 9 in Nashville and wraps December 5 in El Paso.
Karen Espinosa is heading out on her first solo tour. Her official page and Bandsintown posted the dates for the Aceite Nuevo Tour: 14 stops in the United States.
The artist grew up in New Jersey and keeps a strong connection to her Dominican roots. Before launching her solo career, she was part of Maverick City Music, with whom she racked up more than two hundred million streams and sang at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico and Madison Square Garden. In 2024 she released her first album, "Cristo El Rey," and won a Dove Award for the song "Amigo."

What's behind each night
Her team organizes and sponsors these worship nights; they are not activities within local churches that she joins. According to her official page, she rents the venues and designs the program to showcase her most recent albums and her identity as an artist.
The album that gives the tour its name is her second record and was recorded live in Tampa, Florida, with Averly Morillo and Waleska Morales. "Cristo El Rey - Live!" is also available for anyone who wants to show up to a date with the songs already learned.
It's worth remembering something simple: on a worship night, the center isn't the stage or the emotion of the moment. It's God, and the music is the way to sing to Him alongside others.
How to get tickets
Tickets are sold on Bandsintown and at the official box office, and the artist's page gathers the information for each stop. In Paterson, New Jersey, the official site notes that few tickets remain, so it's best to secure yours early.
Before leaving home, confirm the exact venue address and event time on the official page. A couple of venues changed addresses and one stop takes place in a high school auditorium, details that change travel logistics.
A worship tour is measured by what it leaves in the heart, not by how full the room is. "Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth!" (Psalm 96:1, ESV). Pick a date, invite someone who needs to sing, and pray for those who will be up front. If you can't go, the music is still available to accompany your week.
