Demons Dance Alone (tour)

**Demons Dance Alone** was a live tour by The Residents, which took place across three legs (the first in the United States and the latter two across Europe) beginning October 25th 2002 and ending September 28th 2003.

The tour supported the release of the group's 2002 album of the same name and further developed the concept of the album by portraying its songs on stage with the use of characters, as expressed through costumes and masks designed by Leigh Barbier.

Two shows have been released to the public to date; the November 15th New York show was released on the DVD *Demons Dance Alone* in 2003, and the Oslo show at the Rockefeller was released as *Demonic! Demons Dance Alone Live In Oslo* in 2012.
