Following an earlier tour this year alongside Marco Antonio Sol?s and Alejandro Fern?ndez, regional Mexican singer/songwriter Joan Sebastian kicks off a tour that blends music and rodeo. Called "Jaripeo de Oro: Tres a Caballo" (Golden Jaripeo: Three on Horseback), the 12-city tour features Sebastian, his son Jos? Manuel Figueroa and singer El Chapo de Sinaloa. The shows, named for the Mexican rodeo/music tradition known as "Jaripeo," will feature all three singing from their horses in a jaripeo setting that will also include bull riding and other activities.

The tour is presented by Live Nation and kicks off August 28 at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Hollywood. Tickets range from highs of $193 to lows of $45, depending on the venue (most high priced tickets hover around $150).
