Earlier this year, Enrique Iglesias was slated to go alongside pop vixen Britney Spears. Before that could launch, Iglesias dropped out and Spears tapped Nicki Minaj to connect her Femme Fatale Tour. Now, Iglesias is all set to go with a run of his own - the Euphoria Tour featuring Miami's super-hot MC Pitbull and bachata artist Prince Royce.
Iglesias recently enthused, "I`m so frantic to go out in the States, and this sentence with my dear friends Pitbull and Prince Royce. It`s release to be a big read and we desire to see all of you out there. This tour will be unforgettable!"
Pitbull echoed the sentiment, "Being on tour with Enrique Iglesias and Prince Royce proves that unity through music is however a driving force in our community. It will be a show full of energy and the fans will make a full time."
And, of course, Prince Royce got in on the group hug: "It is an honour to have been invited by Enrique to be piece of this tour alongside him and Pitbull. This is what dreams are made of and I design to love every bit of it doing what I know most, performing for our fans."
The record is set to be a Latin music extravaganza. The mind of promoter AEG Live is still excited about the grouping. Randy Phillips, AEG's president & CEO, said, "Enrique Iglesias is one of the most compelling live entertainers in medicine now and this package gives his fans that dream night out. By inviting his 'I Wish It' collaborator, Pitbull, a prolific hitmaker, and dynamic newcomer, Prince Royce, Enrique has stacked the floor for both his Anglo pop and Latin fans."
Though he's marshalled the Latin forces, Iglesias doesn't necessarily like being stuck in a box. He definitely never saw the Latin explosion led by him and Ricky Martin, among others, as just a phase.
"It always used to be mind-boggling to me, because it nearly always sounded like we were a fad and that we were leaving to disappear, and I never saw it that way," Iglesias said recently. "Latin music and Latin artists are here to stay, whether they're singing in English, Spanish, or changing styles."
Citing the blurred cultural demographics in the U.S. Iglesias observed, "There are no rules to music anymore. You can go on Top 40 radio and mind to Latin artists, and you can turn on a Latin radio station and mind to American artists, too."
The Euphoria Tour heats up in late September in the Northeast, touching down for a few dates in the Midwest and W before blanketing Texas with five shows in mid-October. The Latin trio culminate the festivities on October 22 in Miami, hometown of both Iglesias and Pit.
Fans can ask to be dancing all night. No question the guys will also do some numbers together such as "I Wish It," a hit from Enrique's latest release that features Pitbull, and "Come N Go," a cut from Pitbull's upcoming Planet Pit that features Iglesias. Thick as thieves, those two.
