Background

Shakira performing "Suerte" in A Coruña, Spain, in 2006.

The wardrobe Shakira wore on the concert was designed by Shakira and designer Roberto Cavalli.[8] The stage was designed by Shakira and Spanish visual artist Jaume de Laiguana. She commented about the staging: "[It] will revolve around the art, dance and energy of rock and roll".[9] On 3 February 2007, Shakira was scheduled to appear in the Netherlands. While a full stadium – 39,000 people – were waiting for Shakira, her official management announced that the show had to be rescheduled to March 17, 2007. Shakira was ill and had been advised to rest her voice. Shakira gave her manager the following letter to pass out to the crowd:

"I am very sad I cannot perform tonight. Holland is one of my favorite places on earth and I have been looking forward to doing this show for a long time. I promise I will make it up to you when I come back in March to give you the concert that the Dutch people deserve. Thanks for your understanding. All my love, Shakira".[10]

Commercial reception

Shakira played in Mumbai, India, on 25 March 2007. Around 20,000 people attended the concert. It was one of the biggest concerts in India by an international artist.

During free show which took place on 27 May 2007 in Mexico City's Zócalo, 210,000 fans showed up to see her making it the biggest concert ever by a national and international artist in México. The previous record was held by Mexican rock group Café Tacuba.[11]

She has broken many records during this tour. In Athens, she is the first female singer to have a show in Olympic Stadium, attracting over 40,000 people. In Timiosara, she is the only female singer to perform in Stadionul Dan Păltinișanu (with over 30,000 crowds) up till 2017. In Miami's American Airlines Arena, she holds the record of having the most shows (5 shows) in the venue as a female artist with a single tour. In Cairo, over 100,000 people joined Shakira at her concert in Giza Plateau. This sets the record of having the highest attendance in Egyptian concert history.[12] In Mexico City's Palacio de los Deportes, she had 8 shows in the venue consecutively, holding the record of having the most shows in the venue as a female artist. She had a sold-out show in Guayaquil's Estadio Modelo Alberto Spencer Herrera with over 42,000 people, becoming the only one female singer playing a show there. In Santiago, her first show in Movistar Arena was quickly sold out and she later added a second show in the National Stadium which went completely sold out as well.

She played 15 shows in Spain, 10 shows in Germany and 21 shows in Mexico, which broke the record of having the most shows in these three countries as a Latin female artist.

Her shows in the entire U.S. and Canada leg from August 9 to September 26, 2006 were completely sold out.[13][14] This includes shows in El Paso, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, Anaheim, San Jose (2 shows), Denver, Chicago, Toronto, Washington D.C., Atlantic City (2 shows), Uncasville, Boston, New York City (2 shows), Atlanta, Orlando, Miami (2 shows), Houston, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Dallas and Hildago (2 shows).
