The Enrique & JLo Tour is a co-headlining tour by Spanish recording artist Enrique Iglesias and American recording artist Jennifer Lopez. The trek is presented by State Farm Insurance and promoted by AEG Live. Lopez will continue touring in 2012 with her solo Dance Again World Tour. Puerto Rican duo Wisin & Yandel was to be the opening act of the tour, but they dropped out weeks before the tour was set to begin, due to "unresolvable issues".[1]

Background

In March 2012, it was announced that Lopez would headline two popular music festivals in Brazil.[2] While promoting the announcement, the singer mentioned she would like to venture onto a world tour "at some point". Following the announcement, music publication Billboard reported Lopez was in talks to conduct a co-headlining tour with Enrique Iglesias.[3] The rumors became official as Lopez announced the joint tour on "On Air with Ryan Seacrest", April 30, 2012.[4] Later that day, Lopez and Iglesias held a press conference at Boulevard3. The conference was streamed live on Lopez's official website.[5]

During the conference, Iglesias stated the pairing felt "right" and he was excited to go on his first joint tour. In 2011, the Spanish singer was slated to join American singer Britney Spears on her Femme Fatale Tour; however he backed out just hours after the announcement.[6]

The tour is marketed as Lopez's "first world tour".[7] In 2007, the singer toured with estranged husband Marc Anthony for her first joint tour. Further details reveal famed tour director Jamie King will direct the show alongside Lopez's current boyfriend Casper Smart.[8] Zuhair Murad is slated to design tour costumes for Lopez.[9] Iglesias and Lopez plan on performing a new duet, exclusive to the tour.[10]

Commenting on the tour, Lopez stated:

I was going to go on tour, he was going to go on tour and it was like, 'Well, why don’t we go on tour together?' We sat down and we talked about it and people went crazy for the idea. […] We are going to give you everything we got. I think it's going to be one of the most historic tours ever. […] There's never been something like this, where Latinos come together like this. It's international - English and Spanish. I just think it's very groundbreaking. I was honored to be asked to be a part of it".[11]

Critical response

A writer from the Montreal Gazette gave the opening night of the Northern American leg of the tour (co-headlining with Iglesias) a positive review, saying that Lopez won by "showering everyone with riches" while Iglesias scored a "partial partial victory by paying attention to the faces in the crowd"—however, did criticizer the fact that Lopez's set went first, and said that "Both artists would have benefited if their 70- to 80-minute sets had been flipped: Iglesias wouldn’t have been eclipsed by Lopez pulling out all the stops, and Lopez would have had the glory of the big show-ending moment rather than the glory of the big pre-bathroom-break moment."[12]
