The 50th anniversary of Los Horóscopos de Durango, the iconic Mexican regional music band founded by Armando Terrazas, brought his daughters Marisol and Vicky to pause their respective solo careers for the first time in four years to celebrate the milestone with an extensive tour.
Formed in 1975, Los Horóscopos de Durango began in the grupero genre but didn’t explode in popularity until 2003 with the addition of Marisol and Vicky’s female voices, reaching their peak during the pasito duranguense movement. Over nearly two decades, the sisters earned many Billboard hits including “Dos Locos,” “No Me Dejes con las Ganas” and “Si La Quieres.”
“My dad had the desire to celebrate the 50 years since last year, but everyone had taken their own path,” Vicky tells Billboard Español. “At the beginning of 2025, we thought all the work and all his dreams achieved through our dreams needed to be celebrated.”
She adds: “The fans were another reason we decided to do this project.”
Under the name “La Gira de Oro: Antes Muertas Que Sencillas” (like one of their biggest hits), Los Horóscopos de Durango kicks off a series of 30+ shows in the United States and Mexico this week, starting Friday (July 18) with the first of two dates in Los Angeles. Stops include Phoenix, El Paso, Las Vegas, San Jose, Dallas and, of course, Chicago, where the musical movement was born.
In Mexico, the response to the tour announcement couldn’t have been better. Their Aug. 23 performance at Arena Ciudad de México sold out in less than a month, leading to the addition of over 20 dates in the country for the remainder of the year and the first quarter of 2026, including a March 18 show at the Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City.

In addition to pasito duranguense, Los Horóscopos de Durango has a vast repertoire of songs featuring banda and mariachi, elements that won’t be missing in their approximately three-hour show. “We’ve paid attention to every detail, the costumes — it all feels like a fairy tale,” says Marisol.
Both sisters spoke extensively with Billboard about the tour, their upcoming plans, and this significant and unexpected moment in their careers.
What motivated you to reunite?
Vicky: My dad had the desire to celebrate the 50 years since last year, but everyone had taken their own path. At the beginning of 2025, we thought all the work and all his dreams achieved through our dreams needed to be celebrated. This wasn’t just about returning for the sake of it — there were very big reasons. Plus, having our father present made this even more important.
Did you feel you needed time apart to focus on your individual pursuits?
Vicky: Exactly. In many ways, we each wanted to explore our solo careers and focus on personal matters. But that didn’t mean we weren’t seeing each other — we’ve always been very close, and now we’re fully focused on this reunion.
What did you think of your fans selling out your first shows?
Marisol: It was something very beautiful and unexpected. We know our fans love us, we see it on social media and streaming platforms, even without releasing anything new. Seeing the Los Angeles show sell out quickly and the Arena Ciudad de México sell out in less than a month has been so exciting for us. The fans were another reason we decided to do this project.
Vicky, now that you’re a mom, how does that change your routine?
Vicky: Fortunately, this tour is very well-structured. We have highly professional teams in both the U.S. and Mexico, so they’ve organized everything to allow me to be with my son while also focusing on this project. For me, having my son with me at the first show is very important because the day before is his birthday, and the day after the first show is my birthday.
Are you nervous about returning to the stage despite your many years of experience?
Vicky: More than ever. Marisol even had some throat issues for a few days, and the doctor told her it was due to stress. It’s a mix of nerves and excitement because we’ve been out of this work rhythm for a while. We want it to start already so we can believe what’s happening.
Aside from the repertoire, what other details have excited you about preparing for the show?
Marisol: We’ve taken care of all the details, from the show’s repertoire, which will last between two and a half to three hours, to the costumes. We’ll be wearing outfits by designers from both the U.S. and Mexico, depending on the country. It all feels like a fairy tale.
Any plans to record new music?
Vicky: For now, we’re not planning to record anything new, just collaborations. We’ve been invited to several, and we’ll reveal them little by little. That also makes us very happy.
Will you have guest performers during the tour?
Vicky: Yes, we want to invite several. For the Arena Ciudad de México, we’ve already confirmed Chuy Lizárraga, Carolina Ross, and Jhonny Caz from Grupo Firme.
You’re both outstanding women in Mexican regional music. What does it mean to return to the spotlight?
Marisol: It’s an honor to be part of the history of regional Mexican music and to be back. We’ll also be heading to South America next year, to countries where we have many fans but haven’t visited before.
