Man\u00e1 just wrapped up their most recent residency at the Kia Forum with a sold-out show Saturday night. But there is good news for fans who missed out on a chance to watch the Mexican rock act.<\/p>\n
The band announced Monday<\/a> that it has added 19 shows to its ongoing Vivir Sin Aire tour, including several stops in L.A. and throughout Southern California. <\/p>\n The Honda Center in Anaheim will play host to Man\u00e1 on June 5 and 6. Additional concerts in Southern California include a Sept. 26 show at the Acrisure Arena in Palm Desert and an Oct. 10 performance at the North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista. <\/p>\n The \u201cLabios Compartidos\u201d artists will also play at the Kia Forum on Sept. 18 and 19, and further extend their record for most arena shows in the L.A. area<\/a> to 47. On Nov. 21, the group surpassed Bruce Springsteen\u2019s record for most arena performances in L.A. with their 43rd such concert in the region. <\/p>\n In honor of Man\u00e1\u2019s longstanding history with L.A. and the historic Forum venue, a permanent wall installation now stands backstage at the venue that reads: \u201cMana – Kings of L.A.\u201d<\/p>\n Overall, the Grammy winners have played more than 30 shows at the Forum; in 2012, they played 11 straight sold-out shows <\/a>at Staples Center in support of their eighth album \u201cDrama Y Luz.\u201d Further tying them to L.A. is their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame<\/a>, which was cemented in 2016.<\/p>\n Before they stepped on stage at their Nov. 21 Forum show, members of the group spoke with The Times about their ties to L.A. and their message to Latino fans of the band, as political policies continue attacking the Latino community<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cL.A. has always been very influential for us … and we\u2019ve seen the city evolved,\u201d lead singer Fher Olvera told The Times in November. <\/p>\n \u201cRight now our message [to our Latino fans] is to have faith, do not despair … Like the Buddhists say, \u2018Everything shall pass.\u2019 And these problems will also pass and thankfully it won\u2019t take too long [because] presidential terms don\u2019t last so long \u2014 although this term has felt like five minutes underwater,\u201d Olvera added. <\/p>\n
