The Tini Tour 2022/23[2] (stylized in all caps) was the third headlining concert tour by Argentine singer Tini, in support of her third and fourth studio albums, Tini Tini Tini (2020) and Cupido (2023), respectively. Consisting of seven legs over the course of 17 months, the tour began on 20 May 2022 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and concluded on 5 November 2023 in Los Angeles, California, United States. It was preceded by several concert festival appearances, the Tini Tini Tini Show, in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile.
The tour was originally set to begin in March 2022, but due to Tini's father's health and hospitalization, the entire tour was postponed until that May.[3][4] The concerts on 28 May at Hipódromo and 22–23 December 2022, at Campo de Polo, were broadcast live on Star+ (Latin America) and on Disney+ (USA). The initial broadcast was titled TINI Tour 2022: Live from Buenos Aires (Spanish: "TINI Tour 2022: En Vivo desde Buenos Aires"),[2][5] and the second one as Tini Tour 2022: Farewell of the Year (Spanish: "Tini Tour 2022: La Despedida del Año").[6][7]
Background
After having two years off, and being forced to cancel much of her Quiero Volver Tour (2018-20) due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tini was excited to perform once again. On that previously planned tour, she had wanted to present the majority of the tracks from her third album, Tini Tini Tini, but the tour only lasted from 13 December 2018 through March 2020 before quarantine restrictions were enforced.[8]
On 11 November 2021, the same day that her third single from Cupido, "Bar", was released, Tini shared via social media that she would be embarking on her third concert tour, kicking-off on 21 March 2022–in her home country of Argentina, at the Hipódromo de Palermo.[9] The tickets for that show also went on sale the same day she confirmed the tour. Tickets sold out in minutes, prompting Tini to schedule four more shows at the venue for 24, 25, 26 and 27 March 2022. These shows also sold out in minutes.[9][10] With these concerts, Tini became the first female artist to ever sell out six shows at the Hipódromo de Palermo, as well as becoming the first Argentine artist to sell out a large stadium, at home, in over 20 years.[11]
During January and February 2022, a series of festival shows were given, prior to the official start of the tour.[4] This way, Tini was able to preview the show and songs to fans, giving concerts in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile.[4] On 10 March 2022, Tini announced that the concerts at the Hipódromo had to be postponed until May due to her father's health issues and subsequent hospitalization.[3] After these dates, Tini then announced new tour dates for other countries on the first Latin American leg.[12]
The European leg of the tour, which included eleven shows across Spain, was announced on 15 December 2022.[13] On 5 February 2023, Tini gave a press conference in Miami, Florida, where she confirmed three American cities added to the tour: Miami, New York City, and Los Angeles. It was to be her first time performing as a headliner in the USA.[14][15] Pre-sale tickets went on sale 3 May, at 7 p.m. local time; regular tickets went on sale two days later, on 5 May.[14]
Concert synopsis
Tini performing on Buenos Aires, Argentina in May 2022
A countdown timer appears on the main video screen, counting down the minutes until the show begins. The stage set was designed in a pink, girly style, with Tini and her dancers all wearing various pink outfits. The live band began playing an extended interlude, until Tini appeared at the top of the stage, where a drummer was waiting for her. She then started playing the drums herself while a platform slowly moved her down to center stage.[16] From there, Tini was joined by her troupe of six to eight dancers and began to perform “Te Quiero Más”. During Nacho's verses, Tini joined her dancers for a dance sequence.[16]
Tini then went on to perform “Quiero Volver”, a song which she had released with her former partner, Colombian singer Sebastián Yatra. This performance was a viral hit on social networks, mainly on TikTok, due to the popular dance they created for the tour.[16] Next came “Suéltate el Pelo”, with the added surprise of pyrotechnics. Tini, as she has been known to do while touring, added a new verse to the song. She continued with “Duele”, and also showcased some sensual steps of Argentine tango with one of her dancers, Camila Lucca.[16]
Tini continued with “Recuerdo”—during the first verse of the song, fireworks were launched from the stage. Unlike other artists, when performing duets or collaborations live and solo, Tini usually does not edit-out the other artists’ verses (or break the song down into only her sections), but rather uses the time for dance breaks, adding further visual appeal.[16] Next, “Maldita Foto” (recorded with Colombian singer Manuel Turizo) and “2:50 Remix” were performed.[16]
Tini then took a brief break and returned with a new costume change, signifying the romantic ballads portion of the show, a part of her shows she says she will "never stop doing".[16] She began with "Por Qué Te Vas" followed by "Oye", during which time stepped in front of the stage and shook hands with people in the front row. More love songs and ballads followed, including "Un Beso en Madrid", "Acércate", "Carne y Hueso" and "Consejo de Amor".[16]
A third costume reveal came next, with the singer and dancers appearing in shiny green suits to match the rhythm of the electronic music. “Ella Dice”, “Playa”, “High Remix” and “Fresa” (with slightly modified live versions) were performed.[16] Next, pink and feminine tones would once again consume the stage, with Tini in a two-piece, diamond-dripping outfit, as she sang “Fantasí”.[16]
In her music videos, Tini had intended to use short and simple choreography that fans could easily watch and learn, and feel they are dancing 'with her' during the concerts (and thus be recorded on TikTok to help her songs go viral); the objective was fulfilled. During “La Triple T”, audience members who knew the moves were encouraged to follow.[16] Next was "Bar" and "22", with colorful effects around the stage. The last song of the concert was her hit duet with María Becerra, “Miénteme”; as the song ends, Tini thanks the audience, as confetti and fireworks rained down from the stage. On the American tour dates (Miami, New York and Los Angeles), Tini ended the shows speaking directly—and emotionally—to the audiences, thanking them for their support, before singing an encore of the Whitney Houston classic “I Will Always Love You” (written by Dolly Parton), much to fans' and critics' enjoyment.[16][17] Many people were impressed with the quality of Tini's voice and her powerful delivery of the classic love anthem.
