The All for You Tour was a worldwide concert tour in 2001 by American R&B singer Janet Jackson in support of her multi-platinum album All for You. The tour was originally scheduled to kick off in Vancouver, Canada, but due to problems at the Canada – United States border with getting technical equipment across, the first show took place in Portland, Oregon while the Vancouver date was postponed to a later date. The show was designed by Mark Fisher. The tour trekked through North America through the summer of 2001 and ended with a final show in Honolulu, Hawaii that was broadcast by HBO. It was originally slated as a world tour but all dates outside the United States and Canada (except for the Japanese dates in 2002) were cancelled due to the September 11, 2001 attacks.
The All for You tour was notable for a highly sexualized rendition of "Would You Mind", where Jackson would select a male from the audience and have him strapped into a chair while caressing and fondling him in front of the audience. The tour went on to become one of the top-grossing tours of 2001 and saw Jackson performing most of her hits. A DVD of the concert, entitled Live in Hawaii, was released later in 2002.

Famous quotes containing the word tour:
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
