The King Stays King

The King Stays King (also known as Formula, Vol. 1 Tour) is a worldwide concert tour by American singer Romeo Santos. The tour was a promotion for his debut solo album, Formula, Vol. 1. On December 13, 2011, Santos announced that he would begin his initial leg of his solo tour on February 11, 2012, in the United States.[1] His first concert began with two consecutive shows at Madison Square Garden which became sold-out twice.[1][2] During the concert at Madison Square Garden, Santos was accompanied by fellow American bachata singer-songer Prince Royce. For "Debate de 4", three men from the audience were randomly selected to join Santos on the song. Usher made an appearance on the encore for the duet "Promise".[3] At the final concert in the Madison Square Garden, Santos was joined by American rapper P. Diddy for the song "Mi Corazoncito".[4] The concerts at Madison Square Garden were recorded and later released as a live album titled The King Stays King: Sold Out at Madison Square Garden on November 6, 2012.[5]

Santos began his world tour on May 31, 2012, in Venezuela where he performed in seven cities in the country: Caracas, Valencia, Barquisimeto, San Cristóbal, Mérida, Maracaibo, and Puerto La Cruz.[9] Following his performances in Venezuela, Santos performed at the Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile, on June 23, 2012, which drew 16,000 attendees.[10] Santos continued to tour in South America where he performed two concerts in Ecuador,[11] Peru,[12] Paraguay where nearly 10,000 people attended the concert,[13] and four concerts in Argentina.[14] The concert at Luna Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina, drew 25,000 people completely filling the capacity at the concert.[14]
