Welcome 2 was a concert tour by American recording artist Prince. Playing over 80 shows, the tour reached North America, Europe, and Australia. Each leg of the tour was branded with the "Welcome 2" title followed by the continent in which the leg was located. The tour marked the singer's first performances in North America in over six years. The show was composed of the singer performing his hits with his band The New Power Generation. Alongside Prince, various musicians performed including Janelle Monáe, Esperanza Spalding, and Cassandra Wilson. The tour placed 39th on Pollstar's "Top 50 Worldwide Tour", earning nearly $20 million.{{ref|a|1}}{{cite web |url=http://www.pollstarpro.com/files/Charts2011/071811Top50WorldwideTours.pdf |title=Top 50 Worldwide Tours (01/01/2011 – 06/30/2011) |date=July 2011 |work=Pollstar |access-date=3 November 2011|archive-url=http://www.freezepage.com/1320333100RYTMYKPBRO?url=http://www.pollstarpro.com/files/Charts2011/071811Top50WorldwideTours.pdf |archive-date=3 November 2011}}

Background

Prince announced the tour on October 14, 2010 at the famed Apollo Theater in New York City.{{cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/photos/live/953793/prince-announces-welcome-2-america-tour |title=Prince Announces 'Welcome 2 America' Tour |author=Lipshutz, Jason |date=14 October 2010 |magazine=Billboard |access-date=2 November 2011|archive-url=http://www.freezepage.com/1320235415FXBQTLDPJW?url=http://www.billboard.com/news/prince-announces-welcome-2-america-tour-1004121214.story%23/news/prince-announces-welcome-2-america-tour-1004121214.story |archive-date=2 November 2011}} He stated the tour would begin in Greater New York. He further explained to the audience each show would be different. "Come early, come often. I have a lot of hits... no two shows will be the same". For the tour, Prince played a custom gold Fender Stratocaster (made by the Fender Custom Shop), which was auctioned off at the end of the tour. The proceed benefited the Harlem Children's Zone.{{cite press release |title= PRINCE "WELCOME 2 AMERICA" EXCLUSIVE NORTH AMERICAN PERFORMANCES IN NEW YORK AREA|url=http://www.meadowlands.com/uploadedFiles/Events/Prince_Tour_Release.pdf |publisher=Izod Center Official Website |date=25 October 2010 |access-date=2 November 2011|archive-url=http://www.freezepage.com/1320238886JTUCFTGVCG?url=http://www.meadowlands.com/uploadedFiles/Events/Prince_Tour_Release.pdf |archive-date=2 November 2011}}

Following his shows in Greater New York, Prince expanded the tour to include the San Francisco Bay Area and The Carolinas. In April, he announced he would perform a twenty-one night residency show at The Forum in Inglewood, California, during an appearance on Lopez Tonight.{{cite web |url=http://www.soundspike.com/story/1913/prince-plans-extended-welcome-2-america-run-for-los-angeles/ |title=Prince plans extended "Welcome 2 America" run for Los Angeles |author=Evans, Rob |date=8 April 2011 |work=SoundSpike |publisher=SoundSpike Media, LLC |access-date=2 November 2011|archive-url=http://www.freezepage.com/1320241257BDNWQAJBOI?url=http://www.soundspike.com/story/1913/prince-plans-extended-welcome-2-america-run-for-los-angeles/ |archive-date=2 November 2011}} Dubbed "Welcome 2 America: 21-Night Stands", the singer performed throughout the months of April and May, including stops in Fresno, San Jose, and Sacramento. As the tour continued, Prince performed at several music festivals in Europe. In the fall of 2011, he announced he would bring his tour to Canada, his first performances in the territory in nearly ten years. In 2012, a tour of Australia received a warm response from spectators.{{cite web |url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/insider/prince-symbol-of-music-royalty-is-coming-to-australia-this-week-for-his-2012-tour/story-e6frewt9-1226345924253 |title=Prince, symbol of music royalty is coming to Australia this week for his 2012 tour |author=Staff Writer |date=6 May 2012 |work=The Sunday Telegraph |access-date=31 May 2012|archive-url=http://www.freezepage.com/1338794880THUDKEANOL?url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/insider/prince-symbol-of-music-royalty-is-coming-to-australia-this-week-for-his-2012-tour/story-e6frewt9-1226345924253 |archive-date=4 June 2012}}
