The Cradlesong Tour (stylized cradlesong tour) was the second solo concert tour by Matchbox Twenty frontman Rob Thomas. The tour supported his second studio album, Cradlesong and the digital EP, Someday EP. The tour primarily visited North America and Australia. During the summer of 2010, the tour morphed into the Sidewalk Angels Tour, benefiting the charity of the same name.

Background

After the success of his debut album ...Something to Be, Thomas rejoined his band for the release of their first greatest hits album and tour. In 2008, Thomas went back into the studio and began recording his next album. The tour began in the fall of 2009 in Arizona and continued into 2010 with a few dates in Australia. After a three-month hiatus, Thomas continued to tour into the summer of 2010. The tour, given the name "Sidewalk Angels Tour" benefited the Sidewalk Angels Foundation, created by Thomas’ wife, Marisol. Thomas described the summer outing as an intimate performance allowing the songs to speak for themselves. He further states, "It's a chance for me, as a songwriter, to really highlight lyric and melody and to create different versions of songs that I’ve been playing for years. We’ll be doing my solo stuff, Matchbox Twenty songs and covers. It will be a real ‘Storytellers’ kind of vibe."

Opening acts

• OneRepublic (North America—Leg 1)
• Carolina Liar (North America—Leg 1)
• Vanessa Amorosi (Australia)
