Lali concert chronology |
The Lali Tour 2025 is the ongoing seventh concert tour by Argentine singer Lali in support of her sixth studio album, No Vayas a Atender Cuando El Demonio Llama (2025). The tour commenced in Buenos Aires on 24 May 2025, and is set to conclude in Neuquén, Argentina, on 18 October 2025.
Background
[edit]The tour was announced on 18 December 2024 through Lali's social media accounts. In the video she shared, she appeared on a festive holiday set with a lit Christmas tree in the background, wearing a long, shimmering dress and holding a glass of champagne. The first show announced was the one on 24 May 2025 at the José Amalfitani Stadium in Buenos Aires.[1][2] Following the release of No Vayas a Atender Cuando El Demonio Llama, additional dates were announced on social media. The initial schedule included 21 shows across cities in Argentina and Uruguay, along with three dates in Spain.[3][4]
Production
[edit]Costume design
[edit]Lali made more than five costume changes in each concert, under the stylistic direction of Marina Venancio, who worked with the artist since her early career in 2014. Most of the tour wardrobe was custom-designed by various fashion houses, including Maximiliano Jitric, Verónica de la Canal, and Guevara Ocampo, among others.[5]
Among the standout looks was a haute couture gown made of weathered dusty pink tulle that faded into a nude tone, featuring a ruched corset and layered pointed panels with a wet-look effect. This outfit was worn during the show's romantic ballad segment, paired with fishnet tights and black boots. In an interview with Para Ti, designer Maximiliano Jitric explained that the concept behind the dress was inspired by "overcoming hardship, facing setbacks without letting them define you, and finding strength to move forward".[6]
For the performance of "Quiénes Son?", Lali wore a custom suit by Verónica de la Canal, consisting of a silk shirt and tie over a glittering corseted bodysuit. Another standout was a tartan set originally designed by British designer Vivienne Westwood, reinterpreted by Guevara Ocampo and customized with Swarovski crystals by Blüend. The look featured a pointed patchwork corset and skirt, completed with an Argentine flag at the back, styled to resemble the brand patch.[5]
Concert synopsis
[edit]The show opens with Lali appearing on a raised platform at the back and center of the stage, dressed in black with a leather hat adorned with a star made of rhinestones, a lace bodysuit, and a long fringed coat.[7] The look, reminiscent of Beyoncé's Lemonade (2016) era,[8] sets the tone as she enters to the rock-infused track "Lokura".[9][10] She continues with "Sexy" and "2 Son 3", joined by six dancers for a choreographed segment as she moves down a catwalk.[7]
The stage design includes pyrotechnic fire jets shooting from the runways, lasers crossing the venue, an overhead light rig, and two giant screens projecting live-generated visuals.[11] The dancer ensemble expands to sixteen performers during "Tu Novia II" and "N5", the latter featuring a live arrangement of Rage Against The Machine's "Killing in the Name", which closes the concert's first act.[11][12]
After a brief dance interlude and costume change into an all-white ensemble, the second act begins with "Obsesión" and "Diva", marked by sensual choreography and red lighting.[9] Lali then performs "Morir de Amor", a pop ballad with "Morricone-esque" elements that evoke Amy Winehouse's vulnerable side, during which the stage lights turn pink and the tempo slows.[12] The energy ramps up again with "33", accompanied by visuals simulating shattering glass.[10]
Following a dramatic intro underscored by "Popstar", a ringing phone sound introduces a voice-over by Moria Casán, which sets the stage for "Quiénes Son?". Lali appears atop the platform in a tailored suit, flanked by dancers in tuxedos—a nod to Marilyn Monroe and Madonna.[7] She dons boxing gloves for "KO", throwing punches in a choreographed sequence that evokes a boxing ring, complete with dancers holding "Round 3" signs.[10] The set continues with "Baum Baum", "Cómprame Un Brishito", and "Loco Un Poco", where Lali removes her jacket and opens her shirt to reveal a sparkly bodysuit. This third act ends with "Ahora", featuring a lap dance sequence on a chair.[9][11]
Following a guitar solo by one of the musicians, Lali returns in a white dress for a more intimate fourth act. She performs colorful pop tracks like "Boomerang", then shifts to emotional ballads including "Incondicional", "Perdedor", "Corazón Perdido", and "Ego", all delivered solo with a handheld microphone.[11] She then sits on the stage steps for an acoustic version of "No Hay Héroes", accompanied only by guitar, concluding the act with a stripped-down, personal moment.[7][9][10]
The show transitions into a "pop party" segment filled with electropop, dance, and techno sounds. This portion includes songs like "Mejor Que Vos", a disco-funk version of "Histeria", and continues with "1Amor", "S.O.S", "Sola", "Motiveishon", and "Como Tú".[7] The section ends with "Soy", performed alongside sixteen drag queens and sixteen dancers in a choreographed parade down the catwalk, with rainbow visuals filling the screens and culminating in the full LGBTQ flag.[8][10]
For the finale, Lali makes a final costume change, returning in a T-shirt that reads "Tu popstar fav", echoing an earlier ironic statement from her song "Popstar". The show concludes with high-energy renditions of "Disciplina", "Plástico", and "Fanático".[7][8] During these numbers, Lali's distorted face appears on the screens, creating a surreal, postmodern nightmare atmosphere enhanced by smoke and lighting effects.
After appearing to end the show, Lali returns for an encore. She performs "Pendeja" in a rock style with the audience clapping along, followed by "No Me Importa", joined by guitarist and producer Mauro De Tomasso.[9] The concert concludes with the screens fading to black, leaving only Lali's new logo on display.[8][10]
Commercial performance
[edit]Tickets for the opening show in Buenos Aires became available on 20 December 2024. Prior to the general sale, Banco Galicia clients had exclusive access to a pre-sale on the same day, which included a 20% discount and interest-free payment options.[13] The ticket release saw overwhelming demand, with over 500,000 people joining the virtual queue. As a result, the first date sold out in less than 24 hours, prompting the addition of a second show.[14][15] Both originally scheduled dates were later rescheduled to 24 and 25 May due to sporting commitments at the venue. Alongside the announcement of the new dates, a third show was added. Following the May shows, a fourth date had to be added at the same venue due to high demand.[16][17]
Concerts in other cities such as Córdoba and Montevideo also saw strong ticket sales and ultimately sold out.[18] In San Luis, demand was significantly high by local standards, prompting a change in venue to accommodate more attendees.[19]

Critical reception
[edit]Marcelo Fernández Bitar of Clarín described the show as "flawless, on par with the best international stars", highlighting Lali's musical evolution and versatility throughout the performance.[7] Similar thoughts were shared by Antonella Lopreato of Billboard Argentina, who called her "a full-blown rockstar" in top form, beyond the pop label. She also pointed out the performance of "Soy" as one of the most striking moments of the night, featuring sixteen drag queens in what she described as an "explosive parade of color and freedom".[8] Morena Pardo of La Capital praised the concert's narrative and noted that "the overall production has nothing to envy from a Lady Gaga or Madonna show",[11] while Martina Bonin of Ámbito called the performance "historic" and reaffirmed Lali's place as "one of the strongest figures in the Latin American music industry".[22]
Yanet Ingravallo of Todo Noticias stated that Lali "proved herself to be on par with a pop superstar", describing the production as "impressive" and filled with "epic moments" throughout the show.[23] For Antonella Punzino of Filo News, it was "a statement turned into a performance", offering "a monumental celebration that moved between the intimate and the grand".[24] Florencia Falcone of La Nación highlighted Lali's "overwhelming energy" and praised the choreography and costumes,[9] while Yumber Vera Rojas of Página 12 remarked that the show had a distinctly Argentine identity, even as its structure recalled pop figures such as Shakira, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, or Taylor Swift. He referred to Lali as "the gladiator of Argentine pop".[12]
Ayelén Cisneros of Rolling Stone noted that the concert was built around three distinct moods: rock, romantic ballads, and upbeat pop hits. She also emphasized the artist's charisma and repeated gestures of support for the LGBTQ community.[20] Micaela Mora of Minuto Uno described the show as "an immersive and emotional experience", stating it showcased Lali's talent and professionalism while reinforcing her role as "the Queen of Argentine Pop".[25] Marianel Battaglia of Perfil remarked that the artist delivered a show that exceeded expectations, highlighting her "hypnotic presence and charisma" as well as "a colossal stage production".[10] Florencia Ojeda of El Cronista praised the setlist and Lali's stage presence, saying it reflected "her current musical moment" and underlined her strong interaction with the audience.[26] Lastly, Brenda Petrone Veliz of La Voz del Interior highlighted the staging, choreography, and dancers during the Córdoba show, describing Lali as "expressive, sensual, and provocative".[27]
Philanthropy
[edit]In the days leading up to the start of the tour, Lali joined the non-governmental organization Ningún Pibe Con Hambre in a charitable campaign aimed at collecting non-perishable food to support community kitchens and outreach centers in underprivileged areas of Buenos Aires.[28] During her concerts at the José Amalfitani Stadium, a designated space was set up for attendees to donate food. At the end of the shows, the organization reported an overwhelming response from fans, with over 1,200 kilograms of food collected.[29]
