Selena Gomez concert chronology

The Stars Dance Tour was the first concert tour by American recording solo artist Selena Gomez to promote her first solo studio album, Stars Dance (2013). Gomez performed songs from her solo debut album, as well as her releases with Selena Gomez & the Scene. The tour launched on August 14, 2013 and continued until November 26, 2013. It serves as the first tour of Gomez's career, visiting Europe and Dubai. Upon its launch, the tour received a positive critical and commercial reception.

Development

On April 15, 2013, Gomez announced that she would be touring North America and Europe from August to November in support of her album Stars Dance. When asked about the tour, Gomez stated:

“It’s going to be a bigger show. I’m excited. I’ve been dancing a lot and I just want to entertain people and I’m super stoked.” Gomez further added: “I kind of missed shows when it used to just be about the dancing and the performing as opposed to how big and elaborate the stage is so I kind of want to get back to that. My favorites were Britney Spears and Janet Jackson so I kind of want it to be a bit more dancing and make it about entertainment and about the show and the songs as opposed to how big the stage and effects are.”[2]

It was announced later that the tour would continue throughout Asia and Australia but in December 2013 Gomez released a statement saying that she decided to cancel the tour. Gomez stated:

“My fans are so important to me and I would never want to disappoint them. But it has become clear to me and those close to me that after many years of putting my work first, I need to spend some time on myself in order to be the best person I can be. To my fans, I sincerely apologize and I hope you guys know how much each and every one of you mean to me.”[3]
