Christina Aguilera concert chronology

The Bionic Tour was the planned fourth headlining concert tour by American pop singer, Christina Aguilera, in support of her sixth studio album, Bionic. The tour, which was announced days before the release of Bionic, was set to play 20 shows across North America during the summer of 2010. Shortly after the official announcement of the tour, the tour was postponed until the summer of 2011, due to Aguilera's conflicting schedule with the release of her then debut feature film, Burlesque. The tour was then never rescheduled due to Aguilera's position as coach on the American Television series, The Voice.

Background[edit]

Aguilera planned to further promote the album by embarking on the Bionic Tour. Twenty concerts were scheduled across the United States and Canada between July 15, 2010, and August 19, 2010. British singer Leona Lewis was scheduled to be the tour's supporting act and the tour would be considered the North American leg of Lewis's The Labyrinth Tour.[1] On May 24, 2010, Aguilera postponed the tour until 2011. In a message on her website and from tour promoter Live Nation, Aguilera stated that due to the excessive promotion of the album and her then upcoming film debut in Burlesque, she felt she needed more time to rehearse the show and with less than a month between the album release and tour, it was not possible to create and perform a show at the level that her fans expect from her.[2][3]
