The Breakaway Tour was the first headlining concert tour by American pop recording artist Kelly Clarkson. It began on March 30, 2005, in Tulsa, Oklahoma and finished on March 23, 2006, in Vienna, Austria.[1] The tour promoted her second studio album, Breakaway (2004), and this was her first tour to visit Australia and Europe. This was the first of three tours to promote Breakaway. Clarkson went on to embark on the Hazel Eyes Tour in North America before and in between the Australian and European legs of this tour.
