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

video album
, titled Destiny's Child World Tour, on July 8, 2003.

Background and development

Destiny's Child World Tour was Destiny's Child's first solely headlined concert tour. After serving as opening acts for TLC, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera throughout 2000, in support of their second studio album The Writing's on the Wall (1999),[1][2][3] the group embarked on the MTV-sponsored Total Request Live Tour. In an appearance on Total Request Live on May 1, 2001, they revealed the tour's itinerary, which included concerts across North America from July 18 until September 23.[a] The group co-headlined the tour alongside 3LW, Dream, Eve, Nelly, St. Lunatics and Jessica Simpson.[b] While the Destiny's Child World Tour was set to be a direct overseas continuation of the Total Request Live Tour running throughout fall 2001, it was postponed in the aftermath of September 11 attacks, and the group instead focused on promotional activities for their first Christmas album 8 Days of Christmas (2001).[7] Despite the group having announced a hiatus in order for members to focus on solo endeavors a week earlier,[8] a Columbia Records representative announced the tour for spring 2002 in a press release on December 13, 2001.[9] Beyoncé's younger sister Solange Knowles was further announced as a supporting act.[10]

Reception

The Destiny's Child World Tour stop at the Ericsson Stadium in Auckland on May 4, 2002 attracted a crowd of over 13,000.[11][12] In his review of the show for The New Zealand Herald, Russell Baillie praised Destiny's Child's performance skills, describing their stage presence as "terrific, visually dazzling and altogether larger than life" before concluding: "By the time they reached the encore and a strident version of Survivor, Destiny's Child had proven themselves as phenomenal live as they are on the charts."[11] The group opened BBC Radio 1's annual free concert One Big Sunday in Swansea, Wales on June 16, performing in front of 70,000 spectators. In their review of the show, BBC News wrote the members "sauntered on stage with a chic latin look, sporting designer jeans and lacy tops. The sexy American three-piece got the crowd going as they ran through their catalogue of hits", before rushing off due to their show at the NIA Academy in Birmingham that evening.[13][14]
