Destiny's Child World Tour (alternatively titled Destiny's Child Tour 2002) was the debut headlining concert tour by American girl group Destiny's Child. It was launched in support of their third studio album Survivor (2001). Initially conceived as an extension of Total Request Live Tour–which Destiny's Child co-headlined alongside 3LW, Dream, Eve, Nelly, St. Lunatics, Jessica Simpson and City High through North America from July to September 2001–it was postponed in the aftermath of September 11 attacks. The tour ultimately commenced in Melbourne, Australia on April 29, 2002 and ended in Belfast, Northern Ireland on June 24, after 37 shows across Oceania, Japan and Europe.
Alongside songs from Survivor, the set list for Destiny's Child World Tour also incorporated songs from Destiny's Child's eponymous debut studio album (1998) and The Writing's on the Wall (1999), as well as Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams' respective solo performances. Beyoncé's younger sister Solange Knowles joined the group as a supporting act during the tour's European leg to promote her then-upcoming debut studio album Solo Star. The tour received positive reviews from critics, who commended the group members' showmanship and vocal performances. The concert at Rotterdam Ahoy in Rotterdam, Netherlands was recorded and released on a video album, titled Destiny's Child World Tour, on July 8, 2003.
Background and development
Destiny's Child World Tour was Destiny's Child's first solely headlined concert tour. After serving as opening acts for TLC, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera throughout 1999–2000, in support of their second studio album The Writing's on the Wall (1999),{{cite news|last=Duncan|first=Andréa|date=October 26, 1999|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1434874/tlc-kicks-off-tour-as-t-boz-prepares-to-get-animated/|title=TLC Kicks Off Tour As T-Boz Prepares To Get Animated|work=MTV News|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140521002432/http://www.mtv.com/news/1434874/tlc-kicks-off-tour-as-t-boz-prepares-to-get-animated/|archivedate=May 21, 2014|accessdate=February 5, 2024}}{{cite web|last=Herenda|first=Devin|date=February 27, 2022|url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/devinherenda/best-destinys-child-performances-of-all-time|title=The 20 Best Destiny's Child Performances|publisher=BuzzFeed|accessdate=February 5, 2024}}{{cite press release|url=https://transformco.com/press-releases/pr/1874|title=Christina Aguilera Kicks Off Her First Headlining Tour on July 31 'Sears and Levi's® Present Christina Aguilera In Concert'|publisher=Sears|date=July 31, 2000|accessdate=February 5, 2024|via=Transformco}} the group embarked on the MTV-sponsored Total Request Live Tour.

Reception
The Destiny's Child World Tour stop at the Ericsson Stadium in Auckland on May 4, 2002 attracted a crowd of over 13,000.{{cite news|last=Bailie|first=Russell|title=Destiny's Child at Mt Smart Supertop|url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/destinys-child-at-mt-smart-supertop/NFATYJG24ENNSH4KHFJSO2R7TU/|newspaper=The New Zealand Herald|accessdate=February 5, 2024}}{{cite news|url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/date-with-destinys/IJA6SDTUHDEMJDSYYCYWANM6DU/|title=Date with Destiny's|date=February 12, 2002|newspaper=The New Zealand Herald|accessdate=February 5, 2024}} In his review of the show for The New Zealand Herald, Russell Baillie praised Destiny's Child's performance skills, describing their stage presence as "terrific, visually dazzling and altogether larger than life" before concluding: "By the time they reached the encore and a strident version of Survivor, Destiny's Child had proven themselves as phenomenal live as they are on the charts." The group opened BBC Radio 1's annual free concert One Big Sunday in Swansea, Wales on June 16, performing in front of 70,000 spectators. In their review of the show, BBC News wrote the members "sauntered on stage with a chic latin look, sporting designer jeans and lacy tops. The sexy American three-piece got the crowd going as they ran through their catalogue of hits", before rushing off due to their show at the NIA Academy in Birmingham that evening.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/2047084.stm|title=Destiny's Child dazzle at Sunday gig|work=BBC News|date=June 16, 2002|accessdate=February 5, 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://www.destinyschild.com/|title=Tour|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20230117045455/https://www.destinyschild.com/|archivedate=January 17, 2023|url-status=live|accessdate=February 5, 2024|via=official website}}
