Principios Tour (Gira Principios)

On June 29th, the launch date of his debut album “Principios“, a Spanish Tour named “GiraPrincipios” (Principios Tour) was announced to showcase Cepeda’s first album.

On the other hand, it was unveiled the official website for Cepeda, where you can find latest news and his public agenda (record signings, concerts, showcases). The official website is the main portal to access the official platforms to buy tickets for the Tour.

Cepeda’s first solo tour started on October 10th, 2019, in Zaragoza. The solo tour is paused until new music is published (the tour “never ends”, it will be just a break to breath!)
