Anastacia concert chronology |
The Heavy Rotation Tour is the second headlining concert tour by American recording artist Anastacia. The tour is in support of her fourth studio album Heavy Rotation (2008). The singer played over 30 shows in Europe.
The tour was briefly mentioned in November 2008 by Anastacia.[ citation needed ] A month later, fan footage of Anastacia leaving a hotel in Switzerland was posted on YouTube. When fans asked about the touring Zurich, Anastacia replied, "We don't have Zurich on the map yet. […] I know one of the territories close to you is Geneva […] I'm not even going to Rome on this one. That doesn't mean I don't want to come that just how they’re doing the routing." [1] The tour was confirmed via Anastacia's official website on February 27, 2009.
Keely Myers and Chris Vaughan of "The Production Office" were responsible for the technical production of the tour. The creative director and producer of the show is Kim Gavin. Live Nation has been listed as the tour promoter. The tour venues are smaller compared to the ones performed during her first concert tour, but she said that she wanted to create a more intimate show for her fans.
Anastacia made an appearance on This Morning on May 20, 2009 to promote the tour, where she also described the theme of the show as, "[...] a full day in the life..." because of the fact that many of her songs are "very storytelling" as well as "[...] a little bit Midler, a lot of theatre action going on, but video as well". On May 22, 2009 Anastacia announced on her official blog that her mother will also be appearing with her on stage during the shows in Italy, Graz, Prague and Calella de Palafrugell. [2]
Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian reviewed the show at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo giving it four stars out of five [3]
Is she fazed? Not a bit. As she says toward the end of this long, vibrant show, she is so charged up that she doesn't know "what to do with this energy" [...] Forcefulness is Anastacia's stock in trade. She's a pop-soul belter of the old school, blasting out ballads and dance numbers with equal vigour [...] If it's subtlety you want, look elsewhere, but for straightforward, good-hearted entertainment, she's the go-to girl
The following setlist was obtained from the concert held on June 28, 2009, at the NIA Academy in Birmingham, England. It does not represent all concerts for the duration of the tour. [11]
