Laura Pausini will also grace Switzerland with live performances on October 15, 2026, at Hallenstadion Zurich and on November 1, 2026, at Arena Geneva. Just under a year after the spectacular conclusion of her last record-breaking tour, Laura Pausini will start her eleventh world tour in March 2026. For the first time, the artist will begin her concert journey outside of Italy: On March 27, 2026, she will open the «IO CANTO / YO CANTO WORLD TOUR» in Pamplona. This will be followed by further performances in Spain, Latin America, the USA, and Canada. In the fall of 2026, the tour will lead to the largest arenas in Italy and Europe, before concluding in 2027 with shows in Brazil and major stadium concerts in Europe. «For me, live performances are perhaps the most important part of any project,» explains Laura Pausini. «Because the real goal of every release is the audience. On my upcoming tour, I want to visit as many cities as possible and present a show that reflects me 100%. I am working intensively to find out which stage, which setlist, and which production are best suited to capture this new chapter of my music. It is a blessing to have a profession that gives so much back – and that is why I am once again dedicating myself to my audience. For me, this tour is more than just a series of concerts: it is a personal meeting with each of my fans.» The «IO CANTO / YO CANTO WORLD TOUR 2026/2027» underscores the significance and international appeal of Laura Pausini. In addition to her greatest hits, she will also present songs from her new album «IO CANTO 2 / YO CANTO 2». The project follows the worldwide success of her first cover album «IO CANTO / YO CANTO» from 2006, which was dedicated to the great Italian hits and made her internationally known. A thank you for her first Grammy Award, which led to her triumphant performance at San Siro the following year. On June 2, 2007, she made music history by being the first woman ever to give a concert in this legendary stadium – in front of 70,000 enthusiastic fans. «After my first Grammy, I decided to thank my homeland by bringing my favorite Italian music to the world – and that is exactly what I did,» says Laura Pausini. «For someone like me, who started their career in piano bars, it may be quite natural to want to sing songs that, even if they were not written for me, are part of my life and feel like my own. I have long wished to record another version of the cover album. The final decision was made during my last world tour, which began in 2023 and ended on New Year's Eve 2024. «IO CANTO 2 / YO CANTO 2», which, unlike the first album, will also be released in Spanish and includes songs that I love most from Latin American artists, is for me the essence of my profession: to pay tribute and respect to the songs of my idols. In doing so, I do not put myself in the foreground, but serve the music – and I do so with pride.» Laura Pausini breaks records as a singer and songwriter and is regarded as a global pop icon. With more than 75 million records sold worldwide and over 6 billion streams, she is the most listened-to Italian artist abroad. Pausini is the first and so far only Italian artist to have won a Grammy Award, with songs that have reached the Billboard Hot 100, received four Latin Grammy Awards, and was honored as «Person of the Year 2023» by the Latin Recording Academy. Her other achievements include a Golden Globe, an Emmy nomination, and an Oscar nomination.
