Background
SFX Entertainment announced the "Pop Odyssey Tour" in February 2001, to coincide with the release of Celebrity.[5] The album was initially set to be released in May. The album was later pushed back to June[6] and then again to July.[7] Consequently, the tour faced setbacks as well. The tour was slated to begin May 12, 2001in Miami, however, dates were heavily rearranged to allowed the group more rehearsal time.[8] Brad Wavra of SFX Entertainment stated:
"['NSYNC] wanted to make sure that all their fans got the full effect of this dynamic tour. We, along with the group, regret any inconvenience this schedule change may have caused for the fans. We promise this tour will be a musical extravaganza for the record books."
.[9] Later down the road, more dates were cancelled in the Gulf Coast, due to hurricane season. Despite many setbacks, the tour was a success. It became the biggest tour in North America, in 2001,unfortunately loosing to heavy hitters like Madonna and The Backstreet Boys. The success of the tour lead to additional dates being added in 2002. These new dates, dubbed under the name The Celebrity Tour', played arenas in North Americas unlike previous date that played stadiums. The new tour dates coincided with the group's partnership with Chili's Grill & Bar.[10] Timberlake stated:[11]
"[Fans] knew when they were coming to the show last summer that they were going to get something that nobody else had, which was basically about 80 percent of the album that was going to come out after the tour. This [time], obviously, they'll know the songs, but we put a twist almost on everything, so it makes it fun for them to hear it a different way and to try to recognize those tunes."
The Celebrity Tour proved to be another success for the group, becoming one of the biggest tours of 2002.
