Famous singer Enrique Iglesias will come to Turkey for a concert at Küçükçiftlik Park on Oct. 24. Tickets will go on sale on Aug. 27.

Iglesias visited Turkey once before to give a concert in 2007. Iglesias has sold over 55 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling Spanish-language artists of all time. He has had five Billboard Hot 100 top-five singles, including two number ones, and holds the record for producing 22 number-one Spanish-language singles on Billboard’s Hot Latin Tracks. He has also had ten number-one songs on Billboard’s dance charts, more than any other single male artist. Altogether, Iglesias has amassed 68 number-one songs on the various Billboard charts. Billboard has called him “The King of Latin Pop” and “The King of Dance.” Billboard also named Enrique the number-two Latin artist of the years 1986–2011.

Iglesias will visit Turkey as a part of his Euphoria Tour. The tour has taken him across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Europe. A second leg, which has taken him to Australia, includes fellow artists Pitbull and Prince Royce and will continue across North America. Iglesias was finalizing production for an extension to Euphoria, titled Euphoria Reloaded, but due to the poor commercial performance of his single “I Like How It Feels,” featuring rapper Pitbull, plans for the rerelease were cut.
