The show starts by a flash of light appearing on the big screen, as Shakira's voice can be heard repeating "estoy aquí" (Spanish, "I am here"); at the same time, on the side round screens, a series of black and white pictures of hers is displayed in chronological order to showcase an infant Shakira growing up and becoming the superstar she is now. Once the slideshow is over, a victorious and smiling Shakira runs on stage waving at fans (with a firework rain at the back of the stadiums for the Latin American dates), opening the setlist with an EDM medley of her 1995 breakthrough hits "Estoy Aquí" and "¿Dónde Estás Corazón?." She plays a synth keyboard in between the songs and a confetti shower explodes once the second song of medley is played. The costumes of this act are designed by Balmain, Brian Lichtenberg, and Black Majesty. After the "memorabilia medley," an intermission comes: Shakira is seen sitting on a rock chair with chains around her; the entertainer starts dancing, chest pumping and hair whipping, to finally succeed in breaking the chains, and her 2009 hit "She Wolf" begins. After its second chorus, she plays again the synth keyboard and walks through the catwalk right to the B-stage, asking to the women in the crowd to howl à la "She-wolf style." The concert continues with a rockified version of her 2000 hit "Si Te Vas" (a traditional feature for most of her stage tours), what is followed by two recent El Dorado singles: "Nada" and "Perro Fiel;" the latter as a mash-up with another Nicky Jam's single, "El Perdón." The two artists (him on background) sing both songs of mash-up, and pyrotechnique effects appear throughout this number. In sequence, she introduces her band, and they play a R&B version of her English-speaking 2002 tune "Underneath Your Clothes." A slightly edited version of "Me Enamoré" comes after. Then, the Latin songwriter takes an electric guitar to play her 1998 rock hit "Inevitable." The act ends with 2016 megahit "Chantaje," where Maluma appears for a moment in the central screen.

With the first costume change, an "Interlude of the Gods" is presented, recreating in animation the story of the creation of universe according to the Pre-Columbian Andean traditions (specifically from the mythology of the Muisca civilization, who populated part of what is nowadays Colombian territory - this is the same people from whom arose the El Dorado legend), being narrated by an indigenous child, as excerpts of her 2008 single "Despedida" are heard. The little child finishes its tale with the story of the birth of the Mother Goddess, Bachué, who was in charge to populate the Earth. Shakira, as in a Bachué embodiment, returns to stage wearing a golden belly dancing attire with her back to the crowd and a mask on the back of her head; all costume pieces are designed by Laurel Dewitt. Right after this dance personification, she executes her signature belly dancing and sings the Sahara Mix of her 2001 smash hit "Whenever, Wherever" (that previously served as the encore act for her Tour of the Mongoose); in the halfway, one more belly dance break is done, this in a very similar way of the one happened during "Ojos Así" at her immediately previous tour.

Seconding this one-song act, an "Underwater interlude" is shown as a backdrop consisting of outtake scenes of Shakira's underwater videos shot for "Trap" music clip, along with her disserting about the meaning of life. The third act comes out when Cuban percussionist Albert Menéndez, a longtime contributor of her band, plays a piano, and Shakira is spotted at a corner of stage singing her 1998 ballad "Tú" (in its most known MTV Unplugged live incarnation, but missing second verse and chorus), whilst dressed up with black outfits designed by fashion houses Agent Provocateur and Koral, along with chain bracelets by Elena Staun and a long avantgarde jacket by Israeli fashionist Liona Taragan. Following this up, "Amarillo" comes, with her playing a drawing-decorated acoustic guitar. When she sings the chorus of the song, colors start displaying in the background. She said the visuals for this act were inspired by the work of Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn, from whose she's a big fan. The guitar is raised at the end of song, revealing a picture of her partner, the Spanish football player Gerard Piqué, along with their 2 sons, Milan and Sasha. She takes off the Taragan jacket soon as her smash hit duet with Alejandro Sanz, "La Tortura," starts. Both Sanz (in-off) and Menéndez do the male lyrics. Soon, Shakira brings most part of her band to the B-stage to join her to perform altogether an early tune of hers, "Antología," in a reminder of the same song rendition at selected dates of the Oral Fixation Tour. When it is over, the band returns to their original places, while she has a short talk to her drummer Brendan Buckley, that leads to 2014 hit "Can't Remember to Forget You," in a new reggae arrangement. Towards its final, the song turns into a heavier rock version as Shakira plays frenzily the drums, in company of Rihanna singing part of chorus on the sidescreens. This section ends thereafter with a merengue medley of two Sale El Sol hits, "Loca" and "Rabiosa."

As Shakira leaves the stage, an instrumental-only violin version interlude of her 2016 comeback hit, "La Bicicleta," is played by band member Caitlin Evanson, while the other musicians play characteristic samples of Queen's worldwide hit "We Will Rock You." Four big drums are put in the front of main stage (one for each musician except the bassist), and Shakira goes back, wearing a red and yellow (signing colors shared by the flags of Colombia and Spain, besides Catalonia) ostrich skirt, designed by Hawaiian clothing line Iheartpolynesia, to dance and sing a medley of her World Cup hits "La La La (Brazil 2014)" (2014) and "Waka Waka" (2010).

For the encore, there is an "Education Interlude:" a short movie to raise awareness for children who are deprived of any kind of education, portraiting the daily fight of kids around the world in the most underprivileged areas putting maximum efforts to receive education. As it ends, Shakira arrives to a small round stage located in the middle of the crowd in a gold dress and sings a shortened version of "Toneladas" (being this song removed on both Istanbul and Bsharri nights - same happened to "Antología"); after that, she removes her golden dress to reveal a pink Colombian dress (being both outfits designed by Barranquilla-born stylist Juan Carlos Obando), and runs through the crowd greeting and hugging her fans, returning to the main stage to perform her 2006 Billboard Hot 100 chart topper "Hips Don't Lie;" closing the concert, she tells the audience about her hometown roots and does an a cappella snippet of "La Bicicleta," which is succeeded by a full-length, full band accompanied version of the duet with fellow Colombian Carlos Vives, who has also his presence on the circular screens. As Shakira says goodbye to the audience, colorful confetti showers explode as an extra thanks to fans (firework shows were added for this part during the Latin American concerts too).

The tour received general to universal acclaim. Reviewing the London show The Times gave the show a five star out of five rating, describing Shakira as "raunchy rock chick, a fiery temptress."{{cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.com/article/pop-review-shakira-o2-arena-london-06zvhpht0|title=Pop review: Shakira, O2 Arena, London|author=Verrico, Lisa|work=The Times|date=13 June 2018|access-date=3 January 2019}} The Guardian gave the tour a four out of five star review, complimenting Shakira's ability to fill arenas after 3 decades by pleasing her Latin fans and not leaving behind her massive English hits saying "she-wolf still has sharp teeth."{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/jun/12/shakira-review-o2-arena-london|title=Shakira review – she-wolf still has sharp teeth|author=Sullivan, Caroline|work=The Guardian|date=12 June 2018|access-date=31 December 2018}} Sonia De la Forterie from French radio station NRJ called the atmosphere of the shows in Paris a "boiling arena," highlighting Shakira's rendition of "Je l'aime à mourir."{{cite web|url=http://www.nrj.fr/artistes/shakira/actus/shakira-les-meilleurs-moments-de-ses-concerts-a-l-accorhotels-arena-de-paris-71294394|title=Shakira: les meilleurs moments de ses concerts à l'AccorHotels Arena de Paris|trans-title=Shakira: the best moments of her concerts at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris|language=fr|author=De la Forterie, Sonia|publisher=NRJ|date=15 June 2018|access-date=14 January 2019}} Florian Koch from Abendzeitung gave the show in Munich also a five star out of five, highlighting Shakira's emotional state after the recovery, and highlighting "Whenever, Wherever" by calling it "seductive."{{cite web|url=https://www.abendzeitung-muenchen.de/inhalt.az-konzertkritik-shakira-verfuehrerischer-hueftschwung-in-der-olympiahalle.a3fc5d90-83e2-4983-8576-b666f309ce06.html|title=Shakira: Verführerischer Hüftschwung in der Olympiahalle|trans-title=Shakira: Seductive hip swing in the Olympiahalle|language=de|author=Koch, Florian|website=Abendzeitung|date=18 June 2018|access-date=16 January 2019}} The Spanish/Galician newspaper La Opinión A Coruña acclaimed the show in A Coruña, praising Shakira's vocals, "messages of solidarity," and her "electric dance moves," acclaiming the entirety of the show by saying "The Colombian star fills the Coliseum with a vibrant show."{{cite web|url=https://www.laopinioncoruna.es/coruna/2018/07/02/shakira-hizo-milagro/1306317.html|title=Shakira: y se hizo el milagro|trans-title=Shakira: and the miracle was done|language=es|author1=Otero, Marta|author2=Malvido, Gemma|website=La Opinión A Coruña|date=2 July 2018|access-date=12 January 2019}} The concert in the Cedars of Lebanon was met with critical acclaim by Isra Hassan from Lebanese newspaper An-Nahar; in her review of the tour stop at the Lebanese World Heritage Site, she called it a once in a lifetime experience, besides calling Shakira "Queen of stage" and stating that few deserve the title "global superstar" and Shakira is one of them.{{cite web|url=https://www.annahar.com/article/831673-%D8%B4%D8%A7%D9%83%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A7-%D8%AA%D8%B5%D8%A7%D9%81%D8%AD-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B1%D8%B2-%D8%A8%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%85%D9%86%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%88%D8%AC%D9%86%D9%88%D9%86-%D8%B4%D9%83%D8%B1%D8%A7-%D8%B5%D9%88%D8%B1-%D9%88%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%AA|title=(شاكيرا تصافح الأرز برومنسية وجنون شكرا (صور وفيديوات|trans-title=Shakira shaking hands with rice in a romantic and crazy night: "Thank you" (photos and videos)|language=ar|author=Hassan, Isra|website=An-Nahar|date=14 July 2018|access-date=7 January 2019|archive-date=7 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190107181135/https://www.annahar.com/article/831673-%D8%B4%D8%A7%D9%83%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A7-%D8%AA%D8%B5%D8%A7%D9%81%D8%AD-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B1%D8%B2-%D8%A8%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%85%D9%86%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%88%D8%AC%D9%86%D9%88%D9%86-%D8%B4%D9%83%D8%B1%D8%A7-%D8%B5%D9%88%D8%B1-%D9%88%D9%81%D9%8A%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%AA|url-status=dead}}
