Thalía concert chronology

The High Voltage Tour was the fourth concert tour of Mexican recording artist Thalía. This tour promoted her 2004 album Greatest Hits. It marks her debut in the United States with a concert series. The tour also passed through three cities of Mexico.

Background

The High Voltage Tour marks the first concert tour of Thalía in the United States, and it was released in promotion of her 2004 album Greatest Hits, which gathers the singer greatest hits, from the beginning of her long labor relationship with the record company EMI Music in 1994.

The Hershey Company, United States' bigger chocolate factory, was the sponsor of High Voltage concerts, and the production was in charge of Clear Channel Entertainment and Televisa Music Promotion.

Thalía had commented in more than an occasion that her concert would be an entire show, with wardrobe, robotic lights, choreographies and other stuffs. But far from phenomenal productions like the most important world shows conceived by great artist of international fame as Madonna, Britney Spears, or Shakira, High Voltage Tour was a quite small, simple and basic show as for its stage and scene conception.

Concert synopsis

During the concerts, queerly Thalía also interpreted songs of her first albums as solo artist, as well as songs of her time with the Mexican Pop teen band Timbiriche, although that songs are not very popular between the general public, inclusive the North American audience and other non Hispanic-speaker audiences.

As for the artistic talent that accompanied Thalía along the tour, the concerts had 2 backing-vocals, 12 dancers, and 5 band members. Thalia had 15 costume changes during the concert.

Reception

Commercial

Although High Voltage is the first Thalía concert tour series, taking in consideration her artistic career as singer and actress, the tour didn't became to be a commercial success, for what the tour only decreased to 12 shows between Mexico and United States, what would untie the disappointment of her fans in other parts of the world. The tour was a total critical and commercial failure.

The initial plans for this tour were, besides touring Mexico and United States, to visit Central America, South America, Europe, and Asia, but due to the financial failure that this tour meant, it didn't extend toward other latitudes like in a beginning they had specified.
