“We want to make this a special moment for Chucky, as he loves reggaeton,” San Diego FC enforcer Sebastián Morúa says of the free fan event.
San Diego is getting a professional soccer team and one of the best Mexican players… so why not have a reggaeton concert to celebrate?
Rolling rock can exclusively announce that Lunay will join San Diego FC on Thursday for a free 45-minute concert celebrating the signing of Hirving “Chucky” Lozano as the team's first Signed Player.
The team, which is slated to join Major League Soccer next season, will introduce Chucky to fans of the new team during the “ChuckyMania” event at San Diego's Rady Shell at Jacobs Park. Fans can secure free tickets to the event at the San Diego Symphony The Symphony website.
“I'm excited to have Lunay perform at my show in San Diego,” says Lozano Rolling rock. “Joining San Diego FC is a dream come true and it will be epic to have the opportunity to celebrate my arrival with our fans and Lunay at an iconic venue in San Diego.”
Lozano will join FC San Diego on a four-year contract in 2024 after spending seven years in Europe playing for Dutch side PSV and Italian side Napoli. With PSV, he won Eredivisie titles in 2018 and 2024 and Serie A with Napoli in 2023. He also represented Mexico at the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups and is a key player in the national team.
“This is a historic moment for our club and we couldn't think of a better artist to work with as we welcome one of Mexico's biggest stars to San Diego and MLS,” says San Diego FC executive Sebastián Morúa. “We want to make this a special moment for Chucky, as he loves reggaeton, and working with an up-and-coming talent like LUNAY fits perfectly with our club's mission to provide opportunities for talent to flourish and San Diego to shine.”
On the music front, Lunay has yet to release solo music this year after releasing several singles, including “Ronca” and “Nuevo,” last year. He joined Boza in “Hora y Lugar” in January. He also played in a halftime show for the Atlanta Hawks in March. Lunay says Rolling rock is “very happy and grateful” to celebrate Chucky and is looking forward to seeing him play next season.
MLS will also host its own All-Star concert in Columbus with performances from Marshmello and PinkPantheress on July 21 at Nationwide Arena. This year's MLS All-Star Game — streaming on Apple TV's MLS Season Pass — will see MLS r best players face off against Mexico's Liga MX's top picks on July 24.
