Tina: Live in Concert Tour is a worldwide tour by American singer Tina Turner. This is Turner's first concert tour in eight years, since her record-breaking Twenty Four Seven Tour. Turner made the announcement on the Oprah Winfrey Show in late April.[1] She will visit nine countries including the United States, Canada, Germany, France, United Kingdom and more. Thirty-seven dates have been confirmed, however, additional dates are in the planning stages.Turner states her inspiration for creating the tour was due to the success of her performance at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards.[2]

The official tour site describes the show as:

[A] brand new stage show [that] will feature hit after hit spanning Turner’s entire career, with a spectacular production including the singer’s top-notch band, innovative choreography, hi-tech lighting and much more. (...) The set, the production, the songs, and Turner’s unique stage presence will delight her legions of fans who have followed the legendary diva’s extraordinary creative journey, while seducing new admirers and proving that her vocal majesty still continues its reign to this day.[3]

The tour has already proven to be a success with the first date selling out in under two minutes.
