| Thalía concert chronology | |
The Viva! Tour was the fifth concert tour by Mexican recording artist Thalía in support of her first live album Primera fila and her eleventh studio album Habítame Siempre, both of which have had a huge commercial impact in all over Latin America and the United States. It was also Thalía's first tour in nine years, following the 2004 High Voltage Tour, and it was considered as one of the most anticipated Latin tours in 2013. The tour started in Chicago on March 24, 2013 and was planned to include concerts in all over Latin America and potentially Europe, but this was later scrapped. The tour consisted of intimate concerts in musical venues and concert halls with limited capacity, as this is the artistic concept of Thalía's most recent album releases.
Ever since the release of her first live album Primera fila (2009), Thalía had expressed her desire to offer live concerts in small venues, as it was the concept of the album. Even though she tried to organize a tour, she got pregnant and as a result, she had to postpone it. After giving birth to her second child in 2011 and recording her eleventh studio album Habítame Siempre, she claimed that she was planning a tour in order to promote both Primera fila and Habítame Siempre. During her promotional visit in Mexico, some weeks after the official release of Habítame Siempre, Thalía confirmed that in 2013 she would go on tour. Furthermore, she went on to state that with her tour she would visit many countries in Latin America, apart from the United States and Mexico. She also stated that she planned to have some concerts in other European or Asian countries, in which she has a solid fan base. In almost all the interviews, Thalía expressed that she would choose to perform only in small places like theaters or bohemian bars, in order to maintain the two latest albums' concept and feel closer to her audience.
According to a press release, Thalía stated that in the set list of the concerts, she will include some of the most significant hits of her long-lasting solo career as well as songs from her two last album releases, Primera fila and Habítame Siempre. Regarding to the tour she said : "I am very excited about this tour. My concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NY was only a teaser of what is to come and I now want to present the tour to my fans who have anxiously waited for it". The tour passed from United States to Mexico.
