The Inferno World Tour was the tenth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Monica Vinco. Launched in support of her twelfth studio album, Inferno (2044), the tour visited the Americas, Eurasia, South Africa, and Oceania; marking the singer's first concerts in various countries. In 2038, Vinco cancelled the remaining dates of her previous tour, due to a lower back injury. The singer became addicted to painkillers and went into a four-year rehabilitation after her attacked her husband, Shayne Topp. While in rehab, Vinco began writing for Inferno, inspired by Dante's epic poem of the same name. The album was surprised released in April 2044, along with the first dates of the tour. It officially kicked off on August 21, 2044 in Toronto, Canada, and concluded on September 9, 2045, in London, England; this was the first tour of Vinco's to span over two years and her longest to date with 151 shows.
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 seven segments, each displaying different themes and settings, mainly consisting of religious themes. The Satanic imagery of the earlier segments and depictions of sexuality drew controversy from conservative audiences. Vinco defended the choice to include such elements, to represent the "literal hell" she was in during her addiction and rehabilitation. Still, the show "toned it down" for performances in South America, Asia, and parts of Europe. Nevertheless, 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 $42.1 million, making it one of the highest-grossing tours of all time, and was attended by.
Paramount+ released the December 24, 2044, concert at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa, as a concert film titled Inferno World Tour Live, on August 31, 2045; eight days after the tour concluded. A live album of the same name was released a week later on December 31. It drew over 15 million viewers and was, at the time, the most watched program on the service, and won Best Music Film at the Grammys and Outstanding Variety Special at the Emmys.
Background[edit]
Shows in South America and Africa were announced; the latter being the first time Vinco would visit the continent in her 31-year career. Additionally, she would visit Costa Rica and Colombia for the first time that year.
Vinco confirmed that the tour would continue into 2045, with legs in Oceania and Asia. The Asian leg would mark Vinco's first visits to Macau, Hong Kong, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and the Philippines.
A final leg in Europe was announced, notably, including the singer's first concerts in Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Northern Ireland.
Development[edit]
Vinco stated the set list would change for shows in 2045, focusing more on Vinco's full catalogue, rather than the associated album, due to the number of new countries she was visiting. The set list was also shortened, from twenty-five songs to eighteen, albeit, with the latter featuring a three-song medley and a piano mashup.
