In 2007, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony joined forces for their first-ever co-headlining tour across North America. Known by several names—including En Concierto, El Cantante Tour, and Jennifer & Marc en Concierto—the tour kicked off on September 28, 2007, and wrapped up on November 7, 2007. With 17 shows in total, it proved to be a major success, earning an estimated $13.8 million and placing 59th on Pollstar’s list of “Top 100 North American Tours” for that year.
The Story Behind the Tour
Back in 2005, Jennifer Lopez had mentioned in an MTV interview that she was hoping to go on tour to support her album Rebirth. She shared her excitement but also noted that tour plans had fallen through in the past, saying: “I’ve tried to plan a tour so many times… And we’re planning it again. I can’t wait!” Despite the enthusiasm, the tour never materialized at that time.
Meanwhile, Marc Anthony was no stranger to the stage. He had already been performing in the Juntos en Concierto concert series—teaming up with other major Latin music artists like Chayanne, Laura Pausini, Alejandro Fernández, and Marco Antonio Solís. These shows were highly popular and became annual events in Latin American communities across the U.S. and South America starting in 2004.
When Jennifer and Marc finally toured together in 2007, it was a moment fans had long awaited. Their chemistry, both personal and professional, brought a unique energy to the stage—making En Concierto a tour to remember.
