Enrique Iglesias's return to Mumbai after thirteen years prompted both enthusiasm and criticism. Some audience members accused him of lip-syncing, singing out of tune and interacting too little, while other spectators defended a performance lasting nearly 90 minutes.

An Enrique Iglesias concert in Santander attended by approximately 30,000 people attracted numerous complaints about its length, sound quality, abrupt ending and suspected lip-syncing, together with refund demands. Separately, the Cantabrian government had paid 115,000 euros for a promotional campaign linked to the concert, a contract which the opposition sought to terminate over possible failure to fulfil obligations.
