The Revival Tour[2] was the second solo concert tour by American singer Selena Gomez, in support of her second solo studio album Revival (2015). The tour began in Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on May 6, 2016. The tour was projected to end on December 18, 2016, in Zapopan, Mexico at the Telmex Auditorium, but due to Gomez's problems and side effects with lupus, it was interrupted earlier on August 13, 2016 in Auckland, New Zealand, at the Vector Arena.[3]

Background and development

On October 1, 2015, Gomez announced that she would be begin touring North America in late spring of the following year in support of her album Revival (2015). When discussing the tour in a video posted to her fans on Instagram, Gomez stated:

I have a very exciting announcement: I am launching my Revival World Tour. I will be going through the US and Canada from May to July and then later in the year going overseas.
She also announced that fans could purchase a Revival bundle with early ticket access.[4] In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, Gomez stated:
I am ready to get back on the road and see my fans in person! This album marks a new and very important chapter in my life. I cannot wait to get on stage and perform this new material.[5]

The first leg took place in North America across the United States and Canada. The leg ran from May to July 2016. DNCE served as the main opening act in North America with the exception of Vancouver, Winnipeg, Ottawa, and Anaheim.[6] Bea Miller opened from May 6, 2016, through June 15, 2016, and July 9, 2016, Tyler Shaw opened in Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Ottawa,[7] Bahari opened from June 17, 2016, through July 8, 2016,[8] and Charlie Puth opened in Anaheim.[9] On March 15, 2016, Quebec City Summer Festival 2016 announced Gomez as a main headliner of the festival in Quebec City.[10]

The second leg took place across Asia. Announcements for the Asia leg was announced through each city individually rather than one big announcement.[11] [12] [13] [14] [15] The leg ran from July 23, 2016, through August 3, 2016. Opening acts included Gentle Bones in Singapore, Jai Waetford in Bangkok, Darren Espanto in Manila, and DNCE returning as an opening act in Tokyo. Gomez was scheduled to perform her very first shows in China, but reports came out that she was allegedly banned by Chinese authorities due to support of Dalai Lama.[16] The third leg took place across Oceania.[17] The leg ran from August 6, 2016, through August 13, 2016. DNCE returned once again as the opening act for Oceania.

Gomez had plans to tour across Europe and Latin America, but cancelled, citing anxiety and depression caused by lupus.[18]
