Before adding in his native Spanish: "This is a historic moment and we've been wanting to do this for a long time ... The show will be spectacular."

Puerto Rican star Ricky said: "There's nothing like standing on stage and feeling the power of thousands of people and getting up and to dance."

The pair - who will play their greatest hits and new material - will be joined by Colombian star Sebastián Yatra as their specail guest.

The 25-year-old star told 'Entertainment Tonight': "It's a huge dream come true and one that I never imagined was possible with two of my biggest idols, the people who have influenced me so much over the years.

"We're going to enjoy this tour and I'm grateful to Ricky and Enrique.

"I'm ready to learn from them, see more of the United States and enjoy this special moment."

The 'Hero' and 'Livin' La Vida Loca' hitmakers both have new albums set to be released this year.

The former's will be his first since 2014's 'Sex and Love', and is yet-to-be-named, whilst Ricky's set to release 'Movimiento', the follow-up to 2015's Grammy-winning 'A Quien Quiera Escuchar' ('To Those Who Want to Listen').
