[1] After Loose garnered considerable sales and attention, Nelly Furtado announced a tour of Europe and North America.

I’ve spent eight years building my musicality so that now I can rely on that, but then I also have a great backup up there with all the production, which is a treat for me.The set consisted of a white stage, a multi-leveled band setup with LCD screens, two parallel multi-story white palm trees, a large LED screen, and a white stage curtain.

I think the show's a little more sensual or sophisticated, but I keep the primary focus on the songs.Furtado was backed by four dancers and her six-piece band, including Toronto rapper Saukrates on percussion who also fills in for Loose producer Timbaland on some of the tracks from Loose.

After the first leg was completed plans were announced for Furtado to visit the United States.

The third leg consisted of a number of open air festivals during the summer season in Europe.
