Lighting and show designer Travis Shirley said that his lighting and set design was inspired by Iglesias'desire to transition away from stereotypical pop music to more of a rock feel. "Enrique's sound features loud guitar riffs and an amazingly high energy level, and he wanted to have a look that matched it," says Shirley.
Due to smaller venue capacity and freight constraints in South America, Shirley was challenged to create a design and select equipment that allowed him to provide essentially the same show as previous legs of the tour but on a smaller scale.
Shirley chose to use Coemar Infinity Wash XLs, Color Kinetics Color Blasts and Martin Atomic 3000 Strobes to light this tour. He also incorporated a 120' Mainlight Industries Soft LED screen with trusses and Barco MiPIX to create an elaborate video display. Lighting was controlled by a Grand MA.
