also performed.

Anastacia opened with "Paid My Dues" and closed with "I'm Outta Love" and as encore she did "Left Outside Alone".

During the show, she stopped the concert and took time to talk to the audience who were shouting questions to her. One guy from Holland asked if she wanted to marry him, and Anastacia responded, "Do you have a ring?" A ring was then thrown towards the stage. He was ushered onto the stage were he got on bended knee and proposed once again. She proceeded to ask him his name and then stated that his name wouldn’t blend with hers. She continued to joke about polygamy and wanted to make a way for a woman to have many husbands.

Towards the end of the show, she announced that she ran longer than expected and "I’m Outta Love" would be her last song. At the end, she rushed back on stage to perform "Left Outside Alone", stating, "I might get in trouble for this but I don’t care".
