Five of the tour's eight shows were part of Aguilera's headlining set on several different music festivals, such as the Cap Roig Festival in Barcelona and the Starlite Festival in Monaco. The opening show in Mallorca was Aguilera's first performance in Spain since The Stripped Tour (2003). The tour is Aguilera's first tour after the COVID-19 pandemic, following The X Tour (2019).

Background

The Aguilera Tour is a follow up to Aguilera's previous concert tours, The Liberation Tour (2018) which traveled across the United States, and its European counterpart, The X Tour (2019), in support of her eighth studio album Liberation. Following the conclusion of The X Tour, Aguilera returned to Las Vegas, where she continued her residency The Xperience (2019-2020). The Xperience was later cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Aguilera then began releasing her ninth studio album with the release of its first part, La Fuerza, in January 2022. Following its release, Aguilera announced the first three shows of the shows, taking place in the United Kingdom between August 2–5, 2022. Tickets for the shows went on sale on February 4. In early May, Aguilera was the announced as a headliner for the Mallorca Live Festival 2022. The second part of the album, La Tormenta was eventually released and later reissued along with La Fuerza as part of her Aguilera, on May 31, 2022. Aguilera was announced as a performer at the Monte Carlo Summer Festival on July 24, 2022.

The tour primarily comprises festival shows, with the only exception being the shows in Scarborough, Liverpool and London. For these shows, English boy band Union J were featured as opening acts. Aguilera hadn't toured in Spain for almost 20 years, after her performance in Barcelona on The Stripped Tour in 2003.

Reception

The set garnered critical acclaim. Writing for The Guardian, Dave Simpson gave the opening night of the second leg in Scarborough show four stars, calling it "an 80-minute audiovisual extravaganza" and complimenting the wide range of genres included and the "dazzling effect" of her voice. Elle May Rice of the Liverpool Echo gave the show at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool a five star rating, complimenting its costuming, versatility and Aguilera's ability to keep "the crowd captivated to the last second". The Mancunion's Jay Darcy called Aguilera's performance an "electrifying showcase of her artistry and success", and complimented the show's "dazzling and dramatic" nature. In a four star review for I, Alim Kheraj called the London set at The O2 Arena "worthy of her pop legend status", calling Aguilera "a born show woman" and praising her "chest-tightening" vocals. However, Kheraj went on to criticize the minimal staging and "muddled" sound production, giving credit to Aguilera's catalogue and stripped vocals for carrying the show.
