Italian global superstar Laura Pausini has announced her highly anticipated Io canto / Yo canto World Tour 2026/2027, accompanying her new album “Io canto 2 / Yo canto 2”. The announcement of this extensive world tour coincides with news of the upcoming album featuring her favourite songs by her musical idols.

This Friday, September 12th, marks both the start of ticket sales for the tour and the release of her new single “La Mia Storia Tra le Dita”. Laura Pausini’s eleventh world tour begins in March 2026 and will take her through South America, North America, and Europe across nearly two years of performances. During the tour, she will perform songs from both “Io canto 2 / Yo canto 2” and her greatest hits, bringing her extraordinary catalogue to fans worldwide.

The Perfect Setlist

“Performing is perhaps the most important part of my work,” says Laura Pausini. “The ultimate goal of every release is always the audience. This year, I want to visit as many cities as possible and create a show that truly reflects who I am. I’m busy finding the right setting, the perfect setlist, and the ideal production to give shape to this new chapter in my music. It feels like a blessing to have a profession that gives you so much back. That’s why I’m putting myself completely at the service of my audience once again. For me, it’s not just about tour planning, but about an appointment with every fan who will be there singing along with me,” says the Italian star.

Laura Pausini & Robbie Williams

The new single “La Mia Storia Tra le Dita” will be released in four languages: Italian, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. The song is an interpretation of the 1994 Italian classic by Gianluca Grignani and will be accompanied by a music video. Earlier this year, she collaborated with Robbie Williams. Their joint track “Desire” is the official anthem for the FIFA World Cup 2025. The two global superstars performed the song during the Club World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey for 82,000 fans. “Desire” will also be used at other FIFA tournaments and will serve as next year’s FIFA World Cup anthem.

Global Impact

Pausini is a global superstar who has released fifteen albums, accumulated over six billion streams, and sold more than seventy-five million CDs worldwide. This makes her the fourth best-selling female artist in Latin music and the best-selling non-Spanish-speaking female artist in Latin music. Her 1993 single “La Solitudine” became a worldwide hit that remains timeless more than thirty years later.

Beyond her native Italy, she is enormously popular in South America, where she won the Person of the Year title at the 2023 Latin Grammy Awards. This is one of many awards she has received; she was previously the only Italian artist to win a Grammy Award. She has also won multiple Latin Grammy Awards and a Golden Globe, the first Italian song ever to do so. She also received an Oscar nomination for her song “Io sì (Seen)” from the film ‘The Life Ahead’. In addition to her work as a singer and composer, she is also praised for her advocacy for minority rights.
