Background

edit

On January 19, 2011, it was announced that Brown would embark on his "F.A.M.E. Tour" in Australia in April 2011.[1] Presented by Jive Live, managing director Daniel Pritchard said, "Australia will be the first country in the world to be able to see the new Chris Brown show. His incredible stage performances have earned him a reputation as one of this generation's most electrifying male performers."[1] Tickets for the shows were available on February 4 at Ticketek.[1] The North American tour dates were announced on August 10, 2011.[2] When speaking of the tour, Brown said, "this tour will allow me to paint a picture musically ... I want to bring a lot of energy and excitement to all the fans. It's going to be a great show."[2]
