RBD concert chronology

The Tour Generación RBD (billed as Generación RBD)[2] was the debut concert tour by Mexican Latin pop band RBD. The tour supported their first two studio albums, Rebelde (2004) and Nuestro Amor (2005). The 141-show tour began on May 13, 2005, in Toluca, Mexico, and concluded on March 3, 2007, in Laredo, United States. The official announcement occurred on May 1, 2005, following the commercial success of the band's debut album. Diego Boneta served as the opening act.

The setlist consisted of songs from their first two records, Rebelde and Nuestro Amor and featured covers of songs by artists such as Timbiriche, Maná, Hombres G, and Luis Miguel. The tour received a mixed reception from critics; some praised the band's infectious energy and engaging interaction with the audience, while others criticized the vocal performance of the members. It was a commercial success, grossing in total of US$30.9 million[a] by playing in front of 637,364 audience. According to Billboard, it was the highest-grossing Latin concert tour of 2006. Additionally, it was awarded Latin Tour of the Year at the 2006 Latin Billboard Music Awards. A number of concerts were recorded and released, including the show in May 2005 at Mexico's Palacio de los Deportes; afterwards released as a live album and on DVD under the title Tour Generación RBD En Vivo. Directed by Pedro Damián, ¿Que Hay Detrás de RBD? (2006) was a documentary film chronicling the tour.

Background and development

[edit]

Following the premiere of the telenovela Rebelde, RBD released their debut single "Rebelde", from the studio album of the same name (2004).[3] The record was certified diamond by the Asociación Mexicana de Productores de Fonogramas y Videogramas (AMPROFON) with 500,000 copies sold.[4][5] Also in 2004, producer Pedro Damián announced that there were plans for a concert tour.[6] During a press conference on May 1, 2005, he officially announced the Tour Generación RBD. The first twelve dates of the tour were confirmed, with more concerts to be added.[7] In the second half of 2005, RBD performed in such countries as Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Ecuador.[8] The set list of the shows was composed mainly of songs from the two studio albums, Rebelde and Nuestro Amor, as well as other songs by Latin artists.[7][9][10]

In 2006, the Tour Generación RBD continued in the United States, with the band initially performing in 30 US cities.[11] On the RBD website, nine concerts in Brazil were scheduled, followed by three more confirmed dates (Curitiba, Salvador and Goiânia).[12][13] The organization of the tour was the responsibility of the companies Mondo Entretenimento and Roptus, with support from the record label EMI Music.[14] The organizers were notified of the fact that they had not licensed their copyrights at the Central Collection and Distribution (ECAD), and were charged approximately one million reais for eight of the band's performances in Brazil.[15][16][17] There were a total of thirteen concerts in the country, with Diego Boneta as the opening act.[18] In 2007, the tour continued with four concerts in Chile, concluding on March 3 in Laredo, Texas.[19][20]

Commercial reception

[edit]

As soon as the tour was announced, tickets were sold out in Mexico,[21] and was attended by 150,000 people in the country.[22] According to People en Español, it was the second highest-grossing Latin tour in the first half of 2006.[23] The single show at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum attracted 63,101 people, standing as one of the most attended Latin concerts in the venue's history.[24] After finishing, Tour Generación RBD became the highest-grossing international tour in Brazil.[25] However, it did not come up to expectations of the organizers who wanted to sell 450,000 tickets and earn over R$65 million.[26] In 2006, Billboard reported that Generación RBD had grossed over $30.9 million ($46.7 in 2023 dollars)[1] from 51 shows and attracted 637,364 people, becoming the highest-grossing Latin concert tour of the year.[27] At the end of 2006, the tour was placed at number 35 on Pollstar's "Year End Top 100" list, grossing 23.6 million from 37 shows with a total audience of 749,485.[28][29]
