= Invincible Tour (Five) =

The Invincible Tour was a 2000 Concert Tour by English Boy Band Five as promotion to their 1999 album Invincible.

Background
The Invincible Tour was the first major concert tour they headlined by themselves, having gone on an eight-day tour in America to promote their debut album, co-headlining a Smash Hits tour in 1997, and serving as an opening act for *NSYNC in the spring of 1999, as well as other promotional concerts around the world in between the years 1997 and 1999.

The build-up to the tour was documented on a Live & Kicking special entitled Five Weeks With Five, that aired on April 2nd. Tour rehearsals took place at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London.

The tour initially began with two promotional concerts in Russia; one in St. Petersberg, and the other in Moscow. The tour officially began in Glasgow, Scotland.

Along with the band's native UK, the tour went to Europe, North America, Australasia and—as a foursome—South America, after member Ritchie Neville contracted chickenpox and had to be flown back to England in order to recover.

The 54-Date North American leg of the tour began on July 17th with PepsiCo serving as the tour's main sponsor. Rehearsals for that leg took place at the Air Canada Centre, as the leg would kick off in Toronto.

For this leg, "My Song" replaced "Shake", alternate versions of "When The Lights Go Out" and "It's The Things You Do" were played, and "Don't Fight It Baby" was added to the setlist, playing in between "Don't Wanna Let You Go" and "Invincible".
