Consisted on three legs including 16 shows in the United States, the duo largest arena tour at the time.[1][2][3] The tour was planned to end on December 6, 2009, in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[4] However, the tour was expanded to 2010 due the high demand including a second arena leg in the United States.

Overview

[edit]

Stage and design

[edit]

The duo stated that the stage in Puerto Rico, cost around US$100,000.[7]"The idea behind the theme was that this was a revolution in music," said lighting/scenic/video designer Todd Roberts of Visions Lighting LLC (Placenta, California), who worked with Wisin y Yandel's personal lighting designer/programmer David Ayala, video director Alfredo Cifredo and production manager Eggie Allende to design and create the set. "They wanted to the look of the stage to be real industrial. We used a lot of large oversized chain, and a lot of metals." As far as the lighting went, "they wanted it to look as big as possible," said Roberts, "with a small budget.[8]

At Luna Park in Buenos Aires, the stage was 360. It was the first time in 27 years that an artist used type of stage. The last act to be used at the venue was Frank Sinatra.[9] Because this reason, the concert was named "La Revolución en 360".[10]

Critical reception

Sarah Godfrey from The Washington Post attended to the concert in Washington, D.C. at the Patriot Center and gave a positive review stating "the performance itself was mostly the pair asserting their own stardom".[11]
