[edit] History

The tour began its first European leg on June 14, 2006 in Zaragoza, Spain, moving through 10 more cities in Spain, as well as featuring stops in Croatia, Romania, Greece and Russia.

The North American leg of the tour commenced August 9, 2006 at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas and moved across the United States, with a stop in Toronto, Canada.

On September 30, 2006 the tour began its Latin American leg in Mexico City with 8 sold out concerts at the Palacio de los Deportes, and swept through Guatemala, El Salvador, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Puerto Rico and ended in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Before ending the Latin American leg, Shakira returned to Miami in early December for 3 concerts at the American Airlines Arena, where the DVD footage of the concert was filmed.

A second European leg began on January 25, 2007 in Hamburg, Germany, where Shakira performed in 9 cities. Shakira performed in Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and culminated the tour's the 100th show in the UK at London's Wembley Arena on March 18, 2007. A date in Torrevieja, Spain immediately followed the London show.

On February 3, 2007, just a day after her 30th birthday, Shakira was scheduled to appear in the Netherlands. While a full stadium - 39,000 people - was waiting for Shakira, her official management announced that the show had to be rescheduled to March 17, 2007. Shakira was ill and had been advised to rest her voice. Shakira gave her manager the following letter to pass out to the crowd:

"I am very sad I cannot perform tonight. Holland is one of my favorite places on earth and I have been looking forward to doing this show for a long time. I promise I will make it up to you when I come back in March to give you the concert that the Dutch people deserve. Thanks for your understanding. All my love, Shakira."

Next day, Shakira's management cancelled the shows in Germany on February 5 and February 6, 2007, rescheduling them for dates in March and April, which she was able to keep.

After recovering from bronchitis and performing at the 2007 Grammy Awards, Shakira continued the tour from Paris on February 16, 2007 with no further cancellations to date.

At the February 19, 2007 show in Munich, Germany, a live webcam at the arena allowed the fans to watch the show for free from home.

A tour stop in Dubai took place on March 23, 2007. It was her first performance in the Middle East.

Shakira also played in Mumbai, India, on March 25, 2007. Around 20,000 people attended the concert. It was one of the biggest concerts in India by an international artist.

Though promising to tour Australia in 2002 for the Tour of the Mongoose, Shakira has yet to visit Poland and Australia.

As of April 2007 2 million people have attended the Oral Fixation Tour.

In May 2007, Shakira returned to Mexico again and kicked off her final leg of the tour with a handful of concerts in Mexico. 60,000 fans attended the May 13th concert in Mexico City, including Mexican president Felipe Calderón, who attended with his wife and daughter. It was Shakira's ninth show in the Mexican capital this tour.

The concert was the only FREE concert in the Tour and a huge crowd was in attendance; the attendance record for the Zocalo was held by iconic Mexican rock group Café Tacuba, who brought 170,000 fans to their free concert in June 2005. Shakira broke the record with her concert on May 27th; 210,000 fans showed up to see her making it the biggest concert ever by a national and international artist in México. Mexico City was the city that got the most dates of the tour Concerts with 10th dates, and Miami was the second city that received 5 dates. The Oral Fixation Tour 2006-2007 finished in Mexico in the city of Monterrey at the north of Mexico on May 30, All the second tour leg in Mexico was sponsored by SEAT with "Las de la Intuición" (although SEAT sponsored one last show in Istanbul, Turkey.)

After performing 4 songs at Live Earth (including Día Especial with Argentine rock legend Gustavo Cerati) Cerati again joined Shakira onstage to perform the song at her concert in Istanbul July 9th.

Brazil was supposed to be the last country to receive the Oral Fixation Tour's show in 7 cities ( Curitiba -Pedreira ,Porto Alegre -Gigantinho Arena,Rio de Janeiro -Estadio Engenhão,São Paulo -Morumbi Stadium, Brasília -Nilson Nelson Gymnasium, Belo Horizonte -Mineirinho Arena and Salvador -Exposition Park Arena) but by logistical and Shakira's particular problems, the shows were canceled.
