Shakira concert chronology

Oral Fixation Tour (known as Tour Fijación Oral in hispanophone countries) was the fourth

Pies Descalzos Foundation. The tour concluded on 23 December 2007 in Tbilisi, Georgia
.

It was the 15th highest-grossing concert tour of 2006 grossing over $58.6 million, although this figure only includes 41 shows in that year. The total tour grossed over $100 million in both years. It's her most extensive tour to date.[4][5] She was the first female artist from her generation to have a tour grossing over 100 million dollars overall.

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.[6] 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".[7] 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".[8]
