The Simili Tour (also known as the Similares Tour and #PausiniStadi) was the eighth concert tour by Italian singer Laura Pausini. Launched in the spring of 2016, the tour promoted her twelfth studio album Simili (2015). Over the course of five months, the tour visited Europe and the Americas.

Background

In May 2015, Pausini confirmed on her social medias the album release and forthcoming world tour. In November 2015, Pausini announced during an interview that the tour would come to the Americas then back to Europe in October 2016. That same day, she said that the setlists would differ from place to place and that the show structure would be different as well. 6 June 2015 was declared "Simili Day" in three cities: Milan, Rome and Bari.
