Destiny's Child concert chronology |
Destiny's Child World Tour (alternatively titled Destiny's Child Tour 2002) was the debut headlining concert tour by American girl group Destiny's Child. It was launched in support of their third studio album Survivor (2001). Initially conceived as an extension of Total Request Live Tour–which Destiny's Child co-headlined alongside 3LW, Dream, Eve, Nelly, St. Lunatics, Jessica Simpson and City High through North America from July to September 2001–it was postponed in the aftermath of September 11 attacks. The tour ultimately commenced in Melbourne, Australia on April 29, 2002 and ended in Belfast, Northern Ireland on June 24, after 37 shows across Oceania, Japan and Europe.
Alongside songs from Survivor, the set list for Destiny's Child World Tour also incorporated songs from Destiny's Child's eponymous debut studio album (1998) and The Writing's on the Wall (1999), as well as Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams' respective solo performances. Beyoncé's younger sister Solange Knowles joined the group as a supporting act during the tour's European leg to promote her then-upcoming debut studio album Solo Star. The tour received positive reviews from critics, who commended the group members' showmanship and vocal performances. The concert at Rotterdam Ahoy in Rotterdam, Netherlands was recorded and released on a video album, titled Destiny's Child World Tour, on July 8, 2003.
