New York – The special New Year’s concert “HAPPY 2025” at the Palarescifina in Messina marked the grand finale of the tenth world tour of the most awarded Italian artist in the world.
For Laura Pausini, this was the record-breaking tour, exceeding all expectations with over 500,000 attendees across 80 shows worldwide, crowning her as the most accomplished female performer from Italy on a global scale.

The Laura Pausini World Tour 2023-2024 kicked off on February 27, 2023, with a special 24-hour live marathon spanning New York, Madrid, and Milan. It expanded to iconic locations, starting in the historic squares of Venice and Seville, before reaching the most prominent arenas and stadiums worldwide. Her journey took her across Europe, South America, and the United States, with memorable stops in Houston, Los Angeles, Orlando, Miami, Chicago, and finally, New York City, where she delivered a spectacular multilingual performance on April 6 at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

Extraordinary ticket sales and audience demand led to the addition of a winter leg, starting with two dates at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. This leg traversed Europe, with shows in Marseille, Malaga, Pamplona (for the first time), Geneva, Basel, Munich, Sofia, Belgrade, and Ljubljana. In Italy, she performed in Eboli, Bari (two dates), Livorno, Pesaro, Turin, and concluded with double performances in Rome and Milan. The six sold-out dates in Rome and Milan in 2024 solidified her status as the only female artist, Italian or international, to achieve such a milestone.

Laura Pausini, a global pop icon with over 75 million records sold and 5 billion streams, is recognized as the most listened-to Italian female artist abroad. She is the first and only Italian artist to win a Grammy Award and enter the Billboard Hot 100. Her accolades include 4 Latin Grammy Awards and being named “Person of the Year 2023” by the Latin Recording Academy—the first non-native Spanish speaker to receive this honor. Her achievements also encompass a Golden Globe, nominations for the Emmy Awards and the Oscars, and being the first artist to perform at San Siro Stadium and the Circus Maximus in Rome.

Pausini has graced the world’s most prestigious stages, becoming the first Italian artist to perform at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden, London’s Royal Albert Hall, and Paris’s Olympia. Over 40 countries have welcomed her live performances during her 30-year career, including Italy, Spain, the UK, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, the United States, Canada, Russia, and Australia, to name a few.
