Listeners across the country will enjoy SiriusXM's live broadcast as the GRAMMY® and seventeen-time Latin GRAMMY® winning guitarist, singer and songwriter takes the stage at Austin City Limits to perform many of his popular hits-including "Es Por Ti," "Mala Gente," and "A Dios Le Pido."  Juanes' concert in Austin is part of the Austin Fan Fest, downtown's celebratory events taking place as the FORMULA 1 UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX returns to the U.S. for the first time since 2007.

His most recent album, "JUANES MTV Unplugged," debuted at #1 on the "Top Latin Albums" chart and in 18 countries throughout Latin America.  The superstar's dedication to global activism is seen in his charitable work for his "Mi Sangre Foundation" and as a co-founder of the "Paz sin Fronteras" (Peace Without Borders) organization - which utilizes music as a unifying force regardless of political or geographic divides and advocates that all people are entitled to the basic human right of peace.
