The first leg of the tour visited twenty-one cities across South America beginning on September 8, 2016 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and concluding on December 6, 2016 in Montevideo, Uruguay. In November 2016, Espósito performed as the opening act for Ricky Martin's One World Tour at the Monterrey Arena in Monterrey, the Telmex Auditorium in Guadalajara and the National Auditorium in Mexico City.[7] Days after, the singer travelled to Italy, where she gave away two showcases or "fan events" at the RDS Auditorium in Rome and 55 Milano in Milan.[8]

The big screen is described as the protagonist of the show from the very beginning. There, different types of images are projected and it carries the audience to a virtual tour for absolutely all the songs. In the videos, close-ups of Espósito predominate, especially to her mouth and eyes, but also her getting ready for the show, graffitis, song lyrics and even her excited fans to tears and jumping for joy during old shows of the teen-idol.
The show's production also includes different light sets to create different atmospheres in each act, every color laserlights, projections over the audience, special effects, confetti, a floating luminous sphere and a DJ booth, and ten different costumes.
The show begins with a video introduction of the singer. Immediately, the screens splits with Espósito landing on stage in a luminous sphere while performing the first chords of the opening number, "Soy". She then continues with the popular tracks, "Irresistible" and "Asesina". It is here that she not only sings but she also plays the guitar and shows her rockier side. After a music interlude, and accompanied by her entourage, 8 musicians and 10 dancers, the show continues with "Boomerang" and "Tu Revolución" and leaves the stage. Espósito comes back to the stage to perform a medley of ballads from her previous record A Bailar which includes "Del Otro Lado", "Cielo Salvador" and "Desamor". The ballad act continues as the singer performs "Cree en Mí", creating an intimate atmosphere dominated by red and yellow lights, in which Espósito deploys all her glamor wearing a long dress, with transparencies and brightnesses.
The next songs to be performed are "Bomba", in which twerking predominates as dance style, and "Mi Religión", while Espósito descends from the ceiling by commanding a DJ console surrounded by lights, smoke and special effects, which is described as "a 100% energetic moment that brings everyone to their feet for a party-like atmosphere".[12] To accompany the song "Lejos de Mí", Espósito brings together in a video to several of her friends, included the actresses Leticia Siciliani, María del Cerro, Marina Bellati and Justina Bustos. The heat slows down as Espósito performs "Reina", "Ego" and "Amor Es Presente", in the last one accompanied by a gospel choir.
Towards the end of the show, Espósito once again comes back to the stage wearing a pink leather crop top, skirt and boots to perform "Unico", "A Bailar" and "Mil Años Luz". The last act includes the songs "No Estoy Sola", "Histeria" and "Ring Na Na". Espósito ends the show thanking the public while confetti falls from the ceiling.[13] [14]
On September 1, 2016, a week before the start of the tour, it was announced that the first four shows at the Opera Allianz Theatre were all sold out,[15] making it the third highest-grossing tour of the week in Buenos Aires.[16] Other sold out dates included the shows in La Plata, Santiago del Estero, Montevideo, Punta del Este and Viña del Mar.[17] [18] [19] [20] However, the ticket sales for the shows in Mendoza, La Rioja and Toay were not as successful as the mentioned before.[21] [22] [23] As of March 2017, it is estimated that 380,000 have attended the tour.[24]
