The Agápē Tour

2013 concert tour by JoJo

The Agápē Tour was the second headlining concert tour by American singer-songwriter JoJo. It was launched in support of her second mixtape Agápē (2012).^{[1][non-primary source needed]} The tour visited just six cities; an expected expansion to the East Coast of the US and to Canada never materialized.

Background

She met with her agency in January to sort out a specific route for the tour.^[2] On August 28, 2013 JoJo announced the first five West Coast tour dates entitled The "Agape Tour" via her official Twitter page with special guest Leah Labelle as the opening act. Tickets went on sale the same day.^[3]
