The Fear of Flying Tour was the debut concert tour by American recording artist Mýa. Her first headlining tour, it was launched in support of her second studio album, Fear of Flying (2000). A relatively short tour, Mya embarked on a ten-day nationwide concert tour across North America. The trek, beginning March 21, 2001, set list mainly drew from her second album, Fear of Flying as well as included songs from her eponymous debut album Mya (1998) and concluded April 1, 2001.[1]
Released April 2000, Fear of Flying was Harrison's second studio effort. Upon release, Fear of Flying had received mixed reviews from music critics and initially stalled on the charts. The album's second single, "Case of the Ex" became a breakthrough chart success both stateside and worldwide and in turned solidified Fear of Flying as a hit album.[2] A multiplatinum success, Fear of Flying subsequently earned a platinum plaque from RIAA.[3] In March 2001, her record label Interscope had announced Mýa would start her own headlining tour to further support her second studio album, Fear of Flying. Prior to the tour, Harrison had served as an opening act for Montell Jordan on his European tour in Germany.[4]
Reviewing for SunFest, music writer Charles Passey commended the singer's performance at the festival. He expressed approval of her artistry to "offer a musical menu both bouncy and unpretentious" and felt "unlike a lot of female pop stars these days, she's got a voice to go along with her moves."[5]
