On September 20, RBD was scheduled to perform its single “Besame Sin Miedo” and a surprise track during a special appearance on “Mi TRL.” On October 9, they will appear in “Tour-ismo,” sharing with fans an intimate side of RBD as the group members explore New Mexico, shop for vintage clothing, meet with Native Americans who explain the city’s celestial spirit, and ride low-riders before performing in concert.
