Mexican regional superstar Carín León postponed his two performances at the Feria de León in Guanajuato, Mexico, this week after being bitten by a mosquito infected with the dengue virus. The artist’s team confirmed the news on Wednesday night (Jan. 21) via social media.

“Unfortunately, due to health reasons, Carín León’s performances scheduled at the Palenque of the Feria de León for January 22 and 23 will be postponed,” his team explained in the statement posted to Instagram. “The artist was diagnosed with dengue and is following medical advice for his prompt recovery.”

According to the singer’s representatives, the new dates for his performances in that central Mexican city will be Feb. 5 and 6, corresponding to the original dates of Jan. 22 and 23, respectively. Previously purchased tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled dates.

“We appreciate the audience’s understanding; this decision was made prioritizing the artist’s health and recovery, as well as the quality of the show,” his team added in the message.

This year, León is the headlining guest at the Palenque of the Feria de León, promoted by its organizers as “the largest in the country” with a capacity of 7,500. Other major stars of the Mexican regional genre announced for the 2026 edition include Julión Álvarez and Christian Nodal.

The Feria de León is one of the largest state fairs in Mexico. This year, the lineup was headlined by the Foo Fighters. Organizers expect the annual event, which began on Jan. 9 and will run until Feb. 4, to attract around 6.7 million visitors over 27 days of activities.
