Romeo Santos and Prince Royce are bringing the Mejor Tarde Que Nunca Tour to Honda Center in Anaheim this Friday, May 22 — showtime is 8:00 PM PT, and it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest bachata nights Southern California has seen in years.
Getting There
Friday’s weather is on your side: sunny skies and a high near 78°F with light southerly winds up to 10 mph. The walk from the parking structure to the arena entrance will be comfortable — no heat wave, no rain. That said, Honda Center events draw serious traffic off the 57 and surrounding streets. Aim to arrive at least an hour early. Parking lots fill fast for high-demand shows, and will-call lines can snake.
Dress for the Night
This crowd dresses up — it’s a Latin pop event and the energy starts in the parking lot. If you want to roll in already repping your fandom, a Romeo Santos t-shirt or a Romeo Santos hat sets the tone before you even hit the gate. Merch lines inside the arena get brutal before the opener, so ordering ahead is a real time-saver.
One thing fans consistently underestimate: arenas run cold. Honda Center keeps the AC cranked regardless of what it’s doing outside. A Romeo Santos hoodie pulls double duty — fan gear that also keeps you warm once the lights drop and the AC kicks into high gear.
Protect Your Hearing
Romeo Santos productions lean hard on bass and live percussion. If you’re on the floor or near the main speakers, bring a pair of concert ear plugs high fidelity — they knock down the volume without smearing the mix. You’ll still hear every note; you just won’t leave with your ears ringing.
Practical Tips
- Showtime: 8:00 PM PT — doors typically open 60–90 minutes prior
- Clear bag policy: Honda Center enforces it — leave oversized bags at home
- Parking: Arrive early; nearby lots and garages fill well before showtime
- Phone battery: It’s going to be a long, video-worthy night — charge up before you go
Bachata doesn’t wait — neither should you. Get there early, grab your merch, and enjoy the show.
