Background
In April 2009, Aventura released their fifth and last studio album The Last, which became the best-selling Latin album in the United States for 2009 and 2010. They promoted the record with The Last Tour (2009–11).[4] The group promised to come back in 2013, however this did not happen. Following that, the band split to individually focus on their musical careers. The lead singer Romeo Santos released Formula Vol. 1 (2011) and Formula Vol. 2 (2014) with great success. In July 2014, the group reunited to perform at Romeo Santos's concert at New York's Yankee Stadium.[5]
On December 2, 2015, the dates of the reunion concerts at the United Palace were revealed. According to the press release, these shows would be their last concerts together.[6]

Overview
Stage and Sound
All of the concerts were performed at the United Palace in New York City. The venue was selected due the large Dominican population around the location of the venue, Washington Heights. The audio spectrum inside the venue consisted of three K1-SB subs flown over 10 K2 enclosures per side, supplemented by SB28 subs ground-stacked below, plus X8 coaxials as frontfills and ARCS II enclosures as outfills, deployed an L-Acoustics system.[7] The system helped the sound inside the venue to be focused on the bands instruments despite the screaming fans.
