Googoosh Comeback Tour

The Googoosh Comeback Tour was a series of concerts, performed by the Iranian popstar Googoosh, starting July 2000. Having previously left Iran, where females are forbidden to perform, amidst spectacular media attention, She began with a sold out concert at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on July 29, 2000 and eventually brought the tour to a conclusion in Dubai on March 21 and March 24, 2001 on the occasion of the Iranian New Year, Norouz. The two Dubai concerts held special importance for two reasons, including that it was the tour finale and Googoosh was roumered to be planning to return to Iran, therefore, many people believed it might be their last chance to see her. Secondly, for the Dubai concerts, several Iranians flew from Iran to Dubai just to hear Googoosh sing, which she later claimed that she felt like singing at home (Iran). As seen below, the concerts were aimed at cities with large concentrtaions of Iranian immigrants.

    Left Washington, September 6, on a tour through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Virginia.... Absent nineteen days. Received every where heartily. The country is again one and united! I am very happy to be able to feel that the course taken has turned out so well.
