Although he hasn't released a full album of original songs since 2004's "Amar sin Mentiras," Marc Anthony is still one of the biggest names in Latin music -- and not just because he's married to Jennifer Lopez. Earlier this year he released a collection of classic ballads on "Iconos" that debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 charts and remains a top-selling Latin album. Despite having no new material to tour behind, he can still play a venue the size of the Patriot Center, which is where he'll be Sept. 11. Tickets are $79-$129 and go on sale Friday through Ticketmaster.
