Laura Pausini concert chronology

The Greatest Hits World Tour is the seventh concert world tour by the Italian singer Laura Pausini, which promoted her new compilation album, 20 - The Greatest Hits, that was released on 12 November 2013. The tour began with a show in Pesaro on 5 December 2013[1] and ended in 2015. In Spanish-speaking countries, the tour was renamed "Grandes Exitos Gira Mundial".[2]

In February 2014, Pausini confirmed on her official site that the tour would be prolonged and that more shows would happen after the 20 originally planned. This new set of concerts includes two performances in Australia and one performance in Russia, marking the first time Pausini performs in such countries.

On 10 June 2014, Pausini postponed her two Australian shows 'due to unforeseen technical problems and production issues'. The Melbourne concert scheduled for 12 June 2014 at Rod Laver Arena would now take place on 13 February 2014 at a smaller venue, Margaret Court Arena. The 14 June, Sydney show was announced for 14 February 2015.

Background

On 26 February 2013, in order to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of her career, Pausini released a digital single including the original versions in Italian, Spanish and English of the song which launched her career in 1993, "La solitudine". The track was launched as a limited-edition single, available for purchase for a week only.[3] Later during the same year, she confirmed that a greatest hits album would be released for the same purpose by December 2013.[4]

On 1 June 2013 Pausini took part in the concert Chime for Change in London, supporting the global campaign of the same name for girls' and women's empowerment. Pausini performed the songs "Io canto" and "It's Not Goodbye".[5] During the same year, she appeared as a featured artist on the track "Sonríe (Smile)", included in American singer Gloria Estefan's album The Standards.[6] A new world tour was also been confirmed by Pausini through her official website. Starting from December 2013, Pausini would promote her greatest hits album with concerts in her native Italy, as well as in other European countries, in Latin America, in the United States and in Canada. The tour also includes a performance during the Viña del Mar International Song Festival in Chile.[7]

On 9 September 2013, Pausini released a new single named "Limpido" (in Spanish, "Limpio"), in order to promote her new album. The song is a duet between Pausini and the Australian singer Kylie Minogue. On the same day, the name of the album was confirmed to be 20 – The Greatest Hits / 20 – Grandes Exitos.

Special guests

Four of the world tour's concerts have been or will be performed with other singers, invited by Pausini.

On 22 December 2013, Italian singers Emma Marrone and Biagio Antonacci shared with Pausini the vocals in the songs "Come se non fosse stato mai amore" and "Vivimi", respectively.

It was confirmed by Laura Pausini that three other concerts would have special guests. The first one was the one in Mexico City on 28 February 2014, where Pausini was joined by fellow singers Ximena Sariñana and Aleks Syntek. The second one was the one in Miami, on 2 March 2014 where Luis Fonsi, and Biagio Antonacci, joined Laura in the songs "Como si no nos hubiéramos amado" and "Víveme/Vivimi". The third show was in New York City where she sang with the group Il Volo and the singers Biagio Antonacci, Miguel Bosé, Ivete Sangalo and Gloria Estefan.[8]
