CANCELLED: Pedro Pastor y Los Locos Descalzos

Due to unforeseen visa delays between the artist and USCIS, this performance by Pedro Pastor y Los Locos Descalzos has been cancelled. The artist and The Colonial are exploring options for 2027. Current ticket holders can receive a refund or convert their tickets to a donation. At just 31 years old, and with six albums under his belt, Pedro Pastor represents and leads a new generation of singer-songwriters in Spain. His music straddles between Latin America and Spain, with lyrics that are a hymn to change and rebellion, to love and learning, to fusion and blending as the primary source of musical and human development.
