Puerto Rican recording artist Ricky Martin has embarked on fourteen concert tours over his musical career. His debut tour, Ricky Martin (1992), only consisted of shows in Latin America, in support of his debut studio album, Ricky Martin (1991). From 1993–1994, he embarked on his second Latin American tour, Me Amaras, to promote his sophomore record of the same name (1993).[1]

In September 1995, Martin released his third studio album, A Medio Vivir. He embarked on his third concert tour, A Medio Vivir, one month later, in October 1995. The tour lasted for more than two years and visited Europe, Latin America and the United States.[2] A DVD, Europa: European Tour, was released on July 3, 2001, and features the show from his sold-out tour European tour in 1997.[3][4][5]
While touring in 1997, Martin had returned to the studio to record new material for his fourth studio album, saying that the experience of touring and recording simultaneously was "brutal and incredibly intense".[6] The album, titled Vuelve, was released on February 12, 1998.[7][8] Martin then embarked on a fourth tour in Asia, South America, and the US. Martin's fifth concert tour, the Livin' la Vida Loca Tour (1999–2000) was launched in support of his debut English-language/bilingual studio album Ricky Martin (1999); this was his first major world tour, running for roughly a year from October 1999 until October 2000. It covered four continents: North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. For the American leg, a then-up-and-coming vocalist named Jessica Simpson was featured as the opening act. Simpson subsequently experienced mainstream success during and after the tour.[9]
After five years without touring, and after having experienced significant crossover success in the American music market (amongst others), Martin embarked on his sixth tour, One Night Only with Ricky Martin, in support of his eighth studio album, Life (2005). The tour visited the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa, with 53 shows performed. In February 2007, Martin embarked on his seventh tour, the Black and White Tour, to further promote his first live album, MTV Unplugged (2006).
Música + Alma + Sexo was Martin’s eighth concert tour, in support of his ninth studio album, Música + Alma + Sexo (2011). It began with a series of concerts in Puerto Rico and North America, with international dates later in the year.[10] After visiting 28 countries throughout the Americas and Europe, Ricky Martin formally ended the tour on November 12, 2011, back again in his home country of Puerto Rico, at the iconic Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot.[11] In October 2013, he began his ninth concert tour, Ricky Martin Live in Newcastle, Australia, and continued with dates in the Americas as well as the Mawazine Festival in Rabat, Morocco.[12][13][14][15][16]
In 2014, Martin embarked on a Mexican tour, Live in Mexico. In February 2015, he released his tenth studio album, A Quien Quiera Escuchar. To further promote the record, Martin embarked on his tenth concert tour, the One World Tour, in October 2015. The tour lasted for nearly three years, during which he performed 105 shows across Oceania, North America, South America, Europe and Asia. His performance in Zócalo, Mexico City, was attended by more than 100,000 people, and is among the highest-attended concerts of all time.[17]
In 2017, Martin headlined his first Las Vegas residency, All In, at the Park Theater (now Dolby Live) at the Monte Carlo Resort and Casino. In 2018, he started Ricky Martin en Concierto.[18] Two years later, Martin announced his new album would be released in 2020 and he started his world tour, the Movimiento Tour, on February 7, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequent personal experiences, Martin decided to split the tour's associated album release into two extended plays, Pausa and Play, and postponed several of his tour dates.[19] He had also planned to embark on a co-headlining tour with Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias.[20][21] That tour was rescheduled to begin in Glendale, Arizona, on September 3, 2021, and concluded in Orlando, Florida, on October 30, 2021.[22]
In addition to his tours and residencies, Martin has performed many of his songs on numerous television programs and awards shows. One of his earliest career-changing performances was of "The Cup of Life" at the 41st Annual Grammy Awards, in February 1999, which has been called the "greatest awards show performance of all time" by a Latin artist;[23] the appearance was in support of his upcoming crossover album, and was critically acclaimed. The performance is thought to have effectively ushered-in the late-1990s "Latin explosion" in pop music, which saw a noted rise in popularity among Latino and Hispanic artists, such as Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias, Marc Anthony, and Christina Aguilera.[24]
