From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fly Tour was the Dixie Chicks ' 2000 concert tour in over 80 cities in North America in support of their album Fly .
This was the Dixie Chicks' first headlining tour since suddenly becoming very popular in 1998, and they played mostly arenas . Begun at the start of June with five dates in Canada , and with occasional two-week breaks in between legs, the tour was originally scheduled to end in September. However, after having grossed over $25 million for about 50 dates, it was extended until early December [1] , when it concluded with four dates in the Chicks' native Texas .
