TOURS
2002: The American Idol Tour* 28-City U.S. Tour (October - November 2002) o Two-month arena tour starring Kelly and the other American Idol finalists. 2004: The Independent Tour, co-headlining with Clay Aiken * 30-City U.S. Tour (February - April 2004) * The final show in St. Paul, Minnesota on April 16, 2004, featured the acoustic performance of a new song entitled "Don't", written by Clarkson and her band's lead guitarist Danny Weissfeld during the tour. "Don't" also became a part of the regular set list throughout the Breakaway tour, and is rumored to appear on Clarkson's third studio album. 2005: The Breakaway Spring Tour * 35-City U.S. / Canada Tour (March–May 2005) * The Breakaway Tour is Clarkson's most successful to date, selling-out the majority of venues in its 35-city run. 2005: The Hazel Eyes Summer Tour * The forty-six-city tour ran from July 6 opening in Lubbock, TX and ended in New York, NY on October 11. o Several venues were cancelled, due to Clarkson contracting bronchitis and walking pneumonia. However she returned that December to make up for these cancellations, following her Australian tour. * The July 17 Orlando, Florida concert was webcast live on AOL. A key thematic moment in her concerts is her rendition of Annie Lennox's 1992 hit, "Why", which she introduces as her favorite song. The 70-minute show features frequent sing-alongs from the audience and expressions of gratitude from Clarkson. There are rock arrangements to most songs, with an a cappella "Beautiful Disaster" and a two-acoustic guitar-only shambolic "Breakaway". * Due to popular demand, "Hear Me" was added to the tour set list after Clarkson was, as she put it, "hated on" during the Breakaway Tour for not performing this song at any of her shows. o Upon returning to the States for her make-up shows, she replaced "Why" with Tommy James & The Shondells' 1968 number "Crimson & Clover," and also included the holiday tune "Blue Christmas." * The Hazel Eyes Tour featured a new song called "Come Here" which is, according to Clarkson, "probably going to be on the next record". 2005-2006: The Breakaway World Tour * In a June 2005 radio interview on Capital FM in London, Clarkson mentioned that she would begin planning a world tour that will visit Australia, Asia, and Europe, after finishing The Hazel Eyes Tour in the U.S. * The Breakaway World Tour began on Friday November 4, 2005, at the Challenge Stadium in Perth, Australia. Her final show in Australia and both New Zealand dates have been postponed due to vocal strain, though she plans to make up these cancellations. She is scheduled to head to the British Isles beginning February 17, 2006 in Manchester, United Kingdom, after which she will tour Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Austria. |
