Live performances

Surrender was performed during the shows of the 2005 World Tour, World Tour 2009 and Inedito World Tour. During the World Tour 2009 shows, the song's rhythm was changed in its entirety, with a new acoustic version, much like the performance available on the San Siro 2007 concert video. The version present in the DVD originated by Inedito is once again the dance version, included in a medley with "Bellissimo così".
