Julio José Iglesias Jr is back in Spain this October, launching the Julio Iglesias Experience tour—a personal homage to his father and a celebration of the music that shaped their family.
This October, Julio José Iglesias Jr will take the stage across Spain, not just to perform, but to honor the music and legacy of his father, Julio Iglesias. The Julio Iglesias Experience opens on 10 October in La Nucía and wraps up on 1 November in San Sebastián, marking Julio José’s return to Spanish venues with a show that’s both personal and rooted in family history.
For Julio José, the tour is more than a career move. After years living abroad, he’s settled back in Spain—a change confirmed by his sister Tamara Falcó during Madrid Fashion Week. Family routines have picked up again, though Tamara jokes about the challenge of cooking for her vegetarian brother: paella is a favorite, but roast beef is out.
According to El Independiente, the Julio Iglesias Experience will include nearly 30 dates in over 20 cities, far more than the original two-city plan.
The show aims to capture the style and atmosphere that made Julio Iglesias famous. Audiences can expect a lively setlist and a stage production designed to echo the feeling of the original concerts. Julio José will present the project on El Hormiguero, where his sister is a regular guest. Tamara has already teased her brother’s reluctance to dance on TV, hinting at possible surprises during the appearance.
The family connection is central to the project. Julio José says his father is following the tour closely and is "very well, very happy" about the tribute. When asked if Julio Iglesias might return to Spain or visit his home in Galicia, Julio José replied, "Yes, maybe, yes."
Julio José’s own music career started early. As a child, he spent months on tour with his father, learning the rhythms of life on the road. His albums include "Bajo mis ojos," "Tercera dimensión," "Por la mitad," "A Piece of My Love," and "Under the Covers." In 2015, he and his father performed together as equals for the first time, touring Europe and Latin America. Julio José remembers his father’s advice: "Prepare yourself, because they will ask you more and more. You will end up singing all my songs, songs that are also yours because you have been listening to them since you were a child. So, who better than you?"
Antena 3 reports that Julio José will perform his father’s best-known songs with a live band, recreating the classic concert feel. The setlist includes "Soy un truhán, soy un señor," "Manuela," "A media luz," and "To All the Girls I've Loved Before."
This project carries real emotional weight. Julio José will sing the songs that made his father famous and shaped a generation. He admits he didn’t fully understand his father’s fame until, as a child, he saw a stadium of ten thousand people in Hiroshima break into applause. That was when he realized what it meant to be Julio Iglesias’s son.
The tour’s route—from Alicante to San Sebastián—reflects a journey through Spanish musical culture. It’s both a celebration and a look back at family history.
Family, legacy, and music come together in this project, giving audiences more than nostalgia. It’s a chance to connect with the songs that helped define modern Spain. Julio José’s return, and the possibility of his father making an appearance, mark a rare moment where personal and national history meet on stage. As reported earlier, Spain’s sense of tradition often finds its strongest voice in the arts, and this tour is set to reinforce that link.
What makes this event different is its focus on craft and authenticity, not just sentiment. Julio José’s choice to return to Spain and revisit his father’s songs is a risk that could reshape his own career. For Spanish audiences, the Julio Iglesias Experience is more than a tribute—it’s proof that musical heritage, when treated with care, still has a place in the country’s culture.
