In Canada: AP Dhillon’s Early Exit From Coachella and Latin Music’s Rise


AP Dhillon is out at Coachella and more Canada industry news, including Latin's rising popularity and a bold move from Guess Who's Burton Cummings.

“The guitar that has provided you with life, love, peace, success and respect – you end up breaking it!” reads one popular comment on Dhillon’s post featuring footage of the smash. In 2022, Live Nation hired Ricky Taco as director of Latin Music in Canada, with a mandate to grow the genre at venues in the country and focus in on one of the fastest-expanding markets in North America. Peso Pluma, a 24-year-old Mexican artist making waves globally, made his first Canadian stops just a year ago at Place Bell in Laval, Québec and Toronto’s Budweiser Stage.
