DreamChaser Tour (Jessica Simpson)

The DreamChaser Tour was the debut concert tour by American recording artist Jessica Simpson. It supported her second studio album, Irresistible and visited United States.

Background
In contrast to her earlier co-headlining tour with boyband 98 Degrees, Simpson wanted DreamChaser to showcase her as a true pop singer and a real performer, in the vein of Britney Spears. Simpson decided to make the tour "risqué" by adding sexy backup dancers and showing her trim figure more, wearing body-accentuating costumes. She undertook rigorous dance rehearsals for the tour, as she felt that she had to compete with Spears (a natural, trained dancer since childhood). The tour was set up on a portable stage called the "Extreme Mobile Venue", with a capacity of 10,000 people, and was erected in mall parking lots. The collapsible arena featured a 300' (91 m) performance stage, built with a sound system and lights. Arrangements for concertgoers to bungee jump, climb a rock wall, and go 'mechanical surfing' while the singer was not performing were also provided. The venue featured interactive games and exhibits, and was supported by a 9 ft-high ramp for extreme motorcycle riders. The tour openers included Eden's Crush, Youngstown, Toya, and Plus One. It was choreographed by Dan Karaty.

The tour launched on August 7, 2001, at Corpus Christi, Texas, and ran twenty-five dates through mid-September. Tickets price ranged between $29.99 and $39.99. In an interview with Deseret News, Simpson said that it "was a fun tour. That was like a preparation for me. It was one of those things where I just wanted to go out and meet all my fans." A video tape, titled Dream Chaser, was released on January 22, 2002, which included Simpson's biography, music videos, behind-the-scenes looks at "Irresistible" and "A Little Bit", and footage from the tour. The tape reached number twenty-five on Billboard Top Music Videos chart, for the issue dated February 9, 2002.
