# Oral Fixation Tour

Oral Fixation Tour (known as Tour Fijación Oral in Hispanophone countries) was the fourth concert tour by Colombian singer Shakira. It was launched in support of her sixth and seventh studio albums Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 (2005). and Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 (2005). It began on 14 June 2006 at the Feria De Muestras in Zaragoza, Spain. With assistance from the Creative Artists Agency, she visited twenty-seven cities and performed forty-one shows across five continents. The tour was additionally sponsored by Spanish automobile manufacturer SEAT, with whom Shakira also collaborated to support her 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. She was the first female artist from her generation to have a tour grossing over 100 million dollars overall.

## Background

The wardrobe Shakira wore on the concert was designed by Shakira and designer Roberto Cavalli. 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". 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".

## Commercial reception

The tour broke several records:
* The 25 March 2007 concert in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India was attended by at least 20,000 people, including numerous Indian celebrities; among them were superstars Aishwarya Rai and Shilpa Shetty. Shakira’s show was the second most expensive concert in Indian history and one of the biggest events in India by any international artist.
* During a free show on 27 May 2007 at Mexico City's Zócalo, 210k fans showed-up to see Shakira, giving her the distinction of having the biggest live audience in modern Mexican music history. The previous record was held by Mexican rock group Café Tacuba.
* In Tbilisi, Georgia, Shakira became the first international artist to hold a concert in the country. The show attracted more than 350,000 attendees which is a record she still holds.
* In Athens, Greece, Shakira was the first female singer to perform at the Olympic Stadium, with an audience of over 40k people.

* At Miami's American Airlines Arena, Shakira holds the record of having the most consecutive shows (five) at the venue for a female artist on a single tour.
* In Cairo, Egypt, over 100,000 people joined Shakira for her concert at the Giza Plateau. This set the record of having the highest attendance of any Egyptian and African concert in history. This record is also confirmed by Guinness World Record as one of the most attended tickets concerts in history.
* At Mexico City's Palacio de los Deportes, Shakira performed eight nights back-to-back, gaining the record of the most shows at the venue for a female artist.
* At Guayaquil, Ecuador’s Estadio Modelo Alberto Spencer Herrera, over 42k people attended, with Shakira being the first female performer at the stadium.
* At Santiago, Chile’s Movistar Arena, the first show was quickly sold-out, with a second show later scheduled for the National Stadium (which was completely sold-out, as well).
* Shakira played 15 shows in Spain, 10 in Germany and 21 shows in México, which broke the record of having the most shows within these three respective countries as a Latin American female artist.
* All of Shakira’s shows in the U.S. and Canada, from August 9 to September 26, 2006, were completely sold-out.

## Broadcast and recordings

The shows in Miami, Florida and San Juan, Puerto Rico in December 2006 were filmed for a DVD release. Shakira had Alejandro Sanz as a guest and they performed together "La Tortura". Wyclef Jean was also a guest and performed "Hips Don't Lie" with Shakira. It was released under the title Oral Fixation Tour on 12 November 2007 worldwide. The audio was recorded and mixed in stereo and 5.1 by Gustavo Celis. The release was well received by critics, who commended Shakira's multi-instrumentalism. It was also well received commercially, peaking at number six on the US Top Music Videos chart, and has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album quickly shot up the Mexican charts, peaking at number one for two non-consecutive weeks, and remained in the top 10 for over eleven weeks. The concert was also screened in theaters across the United States.
