# Blurred Lines Tour

The Blurred Lines Tour was the debut headlining tour by American recording artist, Robin Thicke. The tour supported his sixth studio album, Blurred Lines (2013). The tour traveled to North America and Europe, playing over 30 concerts.

## Background

Thicke first mentioned a tour shortly following the release of the album. He stated he wanted to spend the rest of the year promoting the album internationally. The end of 2013 saw the singer performing at many radio festivals, followed by a guest spot on Maroon 5's 2014 UK tour.
The tour was announced in September 2013. Before the tour began, it was faced with many challenges. In January 2014, opening act Jessie J dropped out of the tour, stating she wanted to focus on making new music. The following month, the singer revealed his separation from this wife, Paula Patton. Shortly after, the first three shows of the tour was rescheduled, citing vocal stress as the reasoning. Thicke was photographed in Canada and Disneyland during the cancelled shows. The tour kicked off in Fairfax, Virginia. At each show, Thicke dedicated "Lost Without U" to his estranged wife.
The Humanists of Boston University petitioned to have Thicke's concert at the Agganis Arena cancelled. The group stated the album's lead single promoted misogyny and rape culture. The university responded the school is not in correlation with the concert, with the show being organized by Live Nation. The group created a petition on Change.org, getting over three-thousand signatures. The concert proceeded as scheduled, with the group starting a small protest outside the arena.
During a break in the tour, Thicke recorded his next studio album, Paula. This saw the singer adding songs from the new album to the tour's setlist. The album was released in July 2014 and performed poorly.
