Enrique Iglesias’ sold out Euphoria Tour in Rod Laver Arena Melbourne
Multi-platinum selling Spain superstar, Enrique Iglesias, is in Australia this July to perform arena shows in both Sydney and Melbourne as part of the Euphoria World Tour. Joining Enrique as very special guest on the tour is number one selling U.S. rapper, Pitbull. The Euphoria Tour will ensure Australian fans get to see Enrique perform all of his biggest hits including the most recent smash hit singles from the Euphoria album.
In Australia, the three singles released from the album Euphoria have sold close to 500,000 copies: "I Like It" (Triple Platinum) "Heartbeat" (Double Platinum) and "Tonight" (Double Platinum). The latest single "Dirty Dancer" is just released and is also on its way to multi-platinum sales. For over a decade, Enrique Iglesias' Latin-flavored pop music has carved its way into the hearts of music fans across the globe, selling over 55 million albums in both English and Spanish.
Enrique and Pitbull worked together on the remix of "I Like It" and Enrique is thrilled to have him joining the Australian tour. In an interview, Enrique said "Man, working with Pitbull - it's like he's got everybody in the world's mojo, his energy is so intense". Pitbull, most recently known in Australia for his current no. 3 single "Give Me Everything" and featured on the Jennifer Lopez no. 1 selling single "On the Floor" will also perform a set full of back to back hits. Fans are looking forward to see him on stage with Enrique Iglesias to perform the hit "I Like It".
According to the Herald Sun, in the Melbourne show at Rod Laver Arena last July 27, Iglesias admitted he had a high fever and almost cancelled the show but did not want to disappoint his Melbourne fans. He noted that he probably should not have been mixing alcohol with antibiotics and kept his cap on for the entire concert.
Fans were treated with back to back Enrique hits as he performed the R-rated version of Tonight I'm Loving You both opening and closing the show. Other favorite hits performed are Not in Love, Bailamos, Rhythm Divine and Be With You. Support act Havana Brown came back on stage to take over Nicole Scherzinger's part in Heartbeat. The other opening act, rapper Pitbull, joined in for the No.1 hit I Like It.
Iglesias surfaced at the back of the venue to perform his hit ballad Hero, calling up a Melbourne girl named Kylie on stage for a slow dance. Iglesias moved Kylie's hands onto his backside before giving her a passionate kiss on the mouth at the end of the embrace. The singer also jumped off stage to kiss a female fan in a wheelchair at the end of the show. Fans can still have a chance to see Enrique Iglesias perform his hit songs for there are reports that a Brisbane show will be announced and details are going to be released soon.
