The setlist of the tour was composed of songs taken primarily from Shakira's ninth studio album ''Sale el Sol''; the rest were from her previous studio albums. The stage was shaped like the letter "T" to enable maximum amount of viewers to see Shakira easily. A large screen was set behind the stage, on which various visuals, designed by entertainment branding agency Loyalkaspar, were projected. For the performances, Shakira mainly wore a mesh gold crop top coupled with skin-tight leather pants. Other attires Shakira wore during the concert shows included a hooded pink gown, a flamenco-skirt, and a feathery blue dress. The concert shows were well received by critics, many of whom praised the charisma Shakira displayed during the performances. Commercially, the tour was a success.
