"My Euphoria Tour will be an incredible show, and I'm thrilled to have sponsors that understand the importance of delivering an amazing music and entertainment experience to all my fans," said Iglesias.

The three artists will embark on a 19-city U.S. tour, visiting major cities like Newark, N.J.; Los Angeles, Calif.; Las Vegas, Nev.; Dallas, Texas; Orlando and Miami, Fla.

"Our customers want access to all of the music and entertainment they can get their hands on, right on their phones," said Tom Keys, president and COO of MetroPCS.

"This partnership with MetroPCS allows us to link fans to their favorite artists, while also keeping them connected to friends and family by providing affordable entertainment devices, like the new Huawei M835," said Cui Jiangao, president of Huawei Device USA.

The tour comes on the heels of the release of Enrique's first bilingual studio album Euphoria, featuring collaborations with Akon, Usher, Ludacris and Pitbull, among others. The album was an instant success, both in the United States and internationally, with hits like, "I Like It," "Cuando Me Enamoro" and "Tonight (I'm Loving You)," reaching the top of the Billboard Charts. Enrique's 9th studio album Euphoria is being re-packaged with a November release date which will include brand new songs, collaborations with new artists, as well as bonus DVD footage from his Euphoria Tour.
