Spanish singer Alejandro Sanz has concluded the US leg of his world tour ¿Y Ahora Qué? with a final concert in Las Vegas. The tour covered 13 cities between April and May, starting with a sold-out show in Chicago and passing through Washington, New York, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Miami. It featured guest artists such as Camilo, Silvestre Dangond, rapper Kamankola, and the Spanish DJ duo Mestiza.
Technical logistics of a transcontinental tour 🎸
The production of this tour required a considerable technical deployment. More than 20 tons of equipment were transported, including L-Acoustics sound systems, high-resolution LED screens, and a robotic lighting system. Synchronizing 13 dates in 45 days involved precise coordination between local teams and the touring base. Audio was optimized for each venue, from theaters to large arenas, adjusting equalization to compensate for the variable acoustics of each space. Setup and teardown were completed in less than six hours per city.
The drama of finding an outlet in 13 cities 🔌
What the spotlights don't show is that, between songs, the technical team sweated bullets to ensure guests didn't trip over cables. Camilo almost got tangled with a monitor, and the DJs Mestiza had to share a power adapter with a popcorn machine. In the end, Las Vegas closed with a flourish: not a single short circuit. That said, the guitarist lost two picks on stage. The perils of live performance.
