Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox concert
The Better Day World Tour was the tenth concert tour by American recording artist, Dolly Parton. Visiting North America, Europe and Australia, the tour supported her 41st studio album, Better Day. With nearly 275,000 tickets sold, and an overall gross of $34 million, it is Parton's most successful tour. The tour was her first visit to Australia in 30 years.[1]
Background
In January 2011, Parton told media outlet she planned to release an album in 2011 and a supporting tour. A month later, British webzine Glasswerk announced the tour to visit Scotland, England[2] and Ireland.[3] In March, the tour was expanded to include dates in the United States. Parton explained the tour would be a joyful celebration full of hope and inspires to look towards better days.[4] To introduce the tour, Parton remarks:[5]
"I’m very excited, first of all, to be going back on tour at all. But I love the fans and I miss the live stage shows. With the new stage show I hope to have a lot of new things for the fans, especially all the new songs from the Better Day CD and some new and different segments in the show with a lot more fun things as well."
The tour began on July 17, 2011, at the Thompson–Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee. The inaugural concert benefited Parton's Dollywood Foundation. All proceeds from the concert were donated to the Imagination Library, providing educational opportunities to children in various communities.[6]
