The Inferno World Tour was the seventh concert tour by American singer-songwriter Monica Vinco. Launched in support of her tenth studio album, Inferno (2044), the tour visited the Americas, Eurasia, and Oceania. In 2039, following a lower back injury, Vinco became addicted to painkillers and went into a four-year rehabilitation, where she began writing for Inferno. The album was surprised released in April 2044, with the first leg in North America being announced later that year. The tour officially kicked off on March 24, 2045, in Santa Clara, California, and concluded on September 12, 2046, in London, England. Consisting of 124 dates, it was Vinco's longest tour to date, her first to span over two years, and marked her debut in Chile, Argentina, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Poland.
The Inferno World Tour's set list was composed of a wide array of Vinco's discography, focusing on songs from Inferno in addition to previous hits. The tour is divided into nine segments, each inspired by a circle of Hell from Dante's Inferno, and concluded with an encore influenced by Purgatorio and Paradiso. The tour was met with overwhelming acclaim, with most praise going to Vinco's vocal and stage performances. A number of reviews commended the choreography, costumes, and set design as consistently exceptional, noting improvement in her showmanship and visual storytelling. It grossed $826 million, making it the fifth highest-grossing concert tour of all time and second highest-grossing tour by a woman, and received an attendance of 8.5 million. All dates were sold out and the tour broke various venue and attendance records.
The four-date residency at Wembley Stadium was recorded for a Paramount+ concert film—entitled Inferno World Tour Live—released on October 31, 2046. The film won Best Music Film at the 89th Annual Grammy Awards and Outstanding Variety Special at the 99th Primetime Emmy Awards. In honor of the tour's two-year anniversary, a live album of the same name was released on May 1, 2047.
Background
The tour was announced January 5, 2045, to celebrate Vinco's forty-fourth birthday; the presale took place on January 10 and the general sale on January 13. Throughout the month of February, extra dates in Vancouver, Los Angeles, Indianapolis, and Toronto were revealed. On April 3, residences in Syracuse, Atlanta, Miami, and Mexico City were added to the itinerary. On June 1, nine shows in South America were announced.
To celebrate her music career's thirty-second anniversary, Vinco confirmed that the tour would continue into 2046 on August 23, with 22 dates in Asia-Pacific. On October 11, a European leg was announced to conclude the tour; extra dates in Paris, Lille, Amsterdam, Gelsenkirchen, Frankfurt, Stockholm, and London were announced four days later.
