The Lindsey Stirling 2012/2013 Tour is a worldwide concert tour by violinist Lindsey Stirling in support of her first studio album Lindsey Stirling. The tour started in September 22, 2012, and ended on August 28, 2013. Stirling's first tour lasted almost a year with 128 dates around North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The Lindsey Stirling Tour began three days before the CD release of her first album, Lindsey Stirling. Her tour began with dates around the United States and Canada in 2012. At the beginning of 2013, Stirling continued her tour in Europe as a "test tour". Her official European leg kicked off in Russia on May 22, 2013. In August, she continued her tour adding dates around Asia and Australia.[1]

Reception

The shows were a success in that 46 dates were sold out, and on Ticketmaster.com the audience gave a rating to the tour of 4.8 out of 5 stars. Reception was not uniformly positive, however. The Orange County Register lamented that her racial insensitivity ruined her performance in Anaheim. It specifically criticized Stirling's speech linking her cover of Rihanna's "We Found Love" with a corporate-sponsored international volunteering tour in Kenya, which perpetuated racist and colonialist attitudes toward its citizens. That review also criticized her misleading interpretation of Maya Angelou's poem "Caged Bird", which inspired Stirling's "Song of the Caged Bird", when she failed to mention the history of anti-Black racism in the U.S., a core part of the poem's meaning.[2]
