Background
[edit]On February 28, 2023, Bailey announced the tour through her social media. She also said she will be performing every song from the new album. The caption reads as follows: "I'm headlining my very own solo tour performing all the songs from the new album. y'all I'm so excited. see you there." The three dates sold out since the release of her album were Chicago, New York, and Atlanta.
On April 7, Sol Blume announced of rescheduling the festival to August, due to the venue being flooded from severe weather storms. Their statement included, "As another round of rainfall hit the area last week, park officials notified us that we would not be able to host the event as scheduled in the interest of public safety." For the first tour date on April 11 in Chicago, FootwearNews reported of Chlöe arriving "onstage in a black coat dress," which she later removed to reveal a sequin bodysuit. They added, "the musician styled her long red locs in a high ponytail and went with shimmery eyeshadow and a neutral matte pout. Other photos and videos show that Bailey tied her outfit together with leather ankle boots. The glossy style had a triangular pointed toe and was set on a chunky block heel." On April 13, 2023, Chlöe announced that the Toronto, Ontario date was rescheduled because of travel and scheduling conflicts. Along with this, an extra New York show was added.
On April 23, for the Atlanta show, she brought out her sister Halle Bailey, where they performed their songs "Ungodly Hour" and "Do It" together. During this stop, she was also honored her own day, "Chloe Bailey Appreciation Day", which was presented by Fulton County Commissioner Natalie Hall on behalf of the city.
On May 25, the documentary for the first leg premiered to Chlöe's YouTube channel; it was directed by Bailey, shot by Julian Dakdouk, and edited by Peter Insinna. She stated on Instagram, "What an incredible run. I will never forget this moment in my life. There was definitely enough blood, sweat, and tears to fill a swimming pool. But you all made it so worthwhile. Freedom… that's what I felt every time I stepped on that stage. It was almost as if I could fly. Thank you for flying high with me, for loving me, for selling the stage out every night, and making my first headlining tour so special… I love you. In pieces tour doc out now on my YouTube 🤍."
On July 12, she announced the second leg for August–September, with pre-sale being available and general tickets on sale for that Friday. On July 21, it was announced of her one-night UK show at O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire in London, England.
Critical reception
[edit]Revolt reported, "During the sold-out event, Chlöe entertained her fans with a show of various songs, including tunes from her recently released debut album, In Pieces. The 24-year-old's stage presence kept her audience highly engaged…" They added of her message to all the haters, in front of the backdrop with the critical comments: "Fuck what the fuck everybody got to fucking say. They can kiss my Black ass. Because I know you guys love me. And this is all I need. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for being here. Thank you for your energy."
Houston Press said of the April 25 concert, "Chloe controlled the crowd with her stage presence—impressing the sold-out crowd." They added, "Even with a packed show with almost twenty tracks from her solo album as well as hits from Chloe x Halle, Chloe tailored the show toward the crowd, improvising on some songs and even halting one song at its climax to direct people to help a fan."
