# After Party Tour

The After Party Tour was the sixth headlining concert tour by American pop singer Aaron Carter.

## Background

The tour was announced on Carter's Facebook page on January 11, 2013. In his post, he stated, "I’m happy to announce that I will be going on my long overdue tour #TheAfterPartyTour! Stay tuned for more dates that will be added soon. Here we go"! This was Carter's first tour in nine years. Following numerous career downfalls, the singer felt he would not have the opportunity to tour again. After his stint on Dancing with the Stars, Carter performed several one-off concerts, including the Summer MixTape Festival in 2012. Before the tour commenced, the singer left his tenure performing as Matt on the off-Broadway play The Fantasticks.
The tour began in February 2013 at the Chance Theater in Poughkeepsie, New York. The tour name stems from Carter's best-selling album, Aaron's Party (Come Get It).

## Critical response

The tour received noted praise from many music critics. Allie Caren (The Daily Orange) writes the crowd was beyond excited to see Carter perform at his concert in Syracuse. She continues, "The overall tone of Carter's performance would have made all 90s kids in the audience reminiscent of the first Backstreet Boys or N Sync concert they ever attended. There is something about a pop star singing a feel-good pop song and dancing coordinated, pop-style moves—with back-up dancers—that brings a smile to an audience member's face".
In Northampton, Jake Reed (The Daily Collegian) estimates a successful comeback for Carter. He says, "Overall, the night was a success, because unlike other former child sensations, Carter didn’t spend the entire night removing himself from the image that he will always be known for. While odes to modern rap hits showed a new side of the 25-year-old's personality, it was respectable that he didn’t shy away from singing and dancing like he was 12 years old again". At the concert in Annapolis, Daneille Stern and Natasha Peavy (The Johns Hopkins News-Letter) called the energy of Carter's stage performance electric. They go on to say, "Throughout the concert, Carter was enthusiastic about engaging with the crowd, even going so far as to kiss a few select girls on the cheek and bring those with the best Carter-centric posters on stage for an Instagram photo-op".
