Destiny Fulfilled... and Lovin' It[1] was the final concert tour by American female R&B trio Destiny's Child, that visited Asia, Australia and North America.

Outline and premise

The tour kicked off in Hiroshima, Japan on April 9, 2005, and ended in Vancouver, British Columbia, on September 10, 2005. The tour was sponsored by McDonald's Corporation.[2]

During the show, Destiny's Child sang many iconic tracks off of their second and third albums, Survivor (2001) and Destiny Fulfilled (2004), respectively; the group also performed "No, No, No" feat. Wyclef Jean, a popular single off of their self-titled debut album (1998), when the group was originally a quartet (and Williams had not yet joined). Notable performances during the concert included crowd favorites like "Say My Name", "Bug a Boo", "Bills Bills Bills", "Jumpin’, Jumpin'", "Survivor", "Independent Women", "Bootylicious", "Soldier" and "Lose My Breath". During each tour date's performance of "Cater 2 U", in which the women wore glamorous, floor-length gowns, three male fans from the audience were chosen to join Destiny's Child on-stage, seated in chairs as the trio "serenaded" them in a classy, respectful way.

In addition to the trio's group repertoire, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and Beyoncé each performed songs from their respective solo careers, which were still largely in their early days, at the time, in 2005. Solo numbers by Rowland included her popular single "Dilemma" (a duet with rapper Nelly) and "Bad Habit", both from her debut album (2002). "Do You Know", a gospel-inspired song, was performed by Williams from her record of the same name (2004). To the delight of fans, concerts were interspersed with Beyoncé performing some of the most popular songs off of her debut album, Dangerously in Love (2003), including "Baby Boy" (with Sean Paul), "Crazy in Love", "Naughty Girl", and "Dangerously in Love 2".

Although the stage design afforded 360° viewing when setup inside the typical arena, most of the American dates were performed at outdoor amphitheatres. Several interludes featuring the show's dancers allowed for the group's costume changes; the outfits, often glittering gowns, were designed by Tina Knowles, Beyoncé's mother, and manufactured by her label House of Deréon. A special set of outfits were designed in tribute to the Broadway musical and film (starring Beyoncé) Dreamgirls, hinting at the play's "One Night Only (Disco)" scene where Deena Jones & the Dreams wear the same color pants suits.

Split-up announcement

On June 11, 2005, during the last performance of their European tour, in Barcelona, Kelly Rowland announced: "This is the last time you would see us on stage as Destiny's Child".[1]

The announcement was surprising to many, as the trio had downplayed rumors of a split in the wake of Knowles' success, although prior plans had called for the members to focus on solo projects at the end of the tour.

Broadcasts and recordings

A performance from the tour was filmed in Atlanta at Philips Arena on July 15, 2005, and the resulting DVD Live in Atlanta was released on March 28, 2006. RIAA subsequently certified the DVD as Platinum. The concert was also aired in the USA on BET as a television special, on Channel 4 in the UK and on the Dutch television channel AT5.
