This week, Argentina-born Ricardo Montaner announced a new single with Mexican singer Carlos Rivera, formerly the star of a Latin American stage adaption of “The Lion King.”

It’s anyone’s guess if Rivera is going to join the 65-year-old at his Hard Rock gig on Sunday, but it appears that Montaner has never been to Tampa before, so if he’s the kind of person to extravagantly mark a city debut, the odds might not be that bad.

Tickets to see Ricardo Montaner play the Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa on Sunday, April 2 are still available and start at $69.99.
