The Corrs concert chronology

The Forgiven, Not Forgotten World Tour was the premiere international concert tour by Irish folk-rock band the Corrs. The tour was in-support of the band’s debut album, Forgiven, Not Forgotten. It began on 26 April 1996 in Ennis, Co. Clare, in Ireland, and concluded nearly ten months later in Launceston (Tasmania), Australia, on 21 February 1997.

Also during this period, the Corrs would tour with French Canadian singer Céline Dion, as her support act, during select portions of her Falling into You: Around the World Tour. The band had previously met Dion through their work with producer and songwriter David Foster, with whom Dion has worked extensively.
