After the tour hiatus for the singer's recovery, rehearsals resumed on 9 May 2018, and Shakira continued documenting her tour preparation through her social networks. As part of her interaction with fans during the original tour preparation and anticipation, on 7 August 2017 Shakira urged her followers through her social networks to collaborate in the selection of the songs that would be featured on tour, expressing a desire for "this tour to be particularly special for her fans".

, a subsidiary of official tour sponsor Rakuten, carried out a poll to help her pick out some tracks. The winning choices were announced a week later on the mobile platform. Seconding this research, Shakira joined Viber again to promise a surprise contest for fans, on 10 October, that was announced two days later, on the same instant messenger application. One of the prizes was a trip to Barcelona to attend rehearsals. Rakuten Spain delivered a similar prize contest (valid only for Spanish residents), in which the winners were able to watch a private show by Shakira's team also in Barcelona, on 4 November, a few days before the tour was to have kicked off originally. As for 2018 resuming rehearsals, the official Spanish tour sponsor kept on posting anticipation notes through their social networks, and the partnership with Viber for exclusive content from tour was kept too. Crew members were announced by Shakira little by little, one of the first ones being Anna Kaiser, her personal trainer, through videos and photos of the singer's AKT InMotion workout sessions.

As for the actual tour start in mid-2018, all band members remained the same except bassist Joe Ayoub who joined to replace Kertes. Production design company Vita Motus was commissioned for stage design, and Syndrome Studio was in charge as the graphic design for screen backdrops. Longtime Shakira contributor Marjan Malakpour was the executive stylist for tour, and among those in charge of designing costumes for tour were French fashion house Balmain, American fashion designer Brian Lichtenberg, and fellow Colombian fashion designer Juan Carlos Obando. For most of the Spanish concerts, she wore a belt with feathers designed by Hawaiian-based online clothing store Iheartpolynesia, adapted from the same type of piece this shop had previously designed for Miss Latina Hawaii 2018.
