Background
After performing several promotional shows throughout North America and Europe, Pink announced her tour in Spring 2006. The "I'm Not Dead Tour" began in North America in nightclubs and theatres. Pink explained, "Small gigs, that's where it's at You can feel everyone's sweat, it's just so close and intimate. It's stinky, it's smoky, it's good." Pink continued her tour into Europe and Australia, playing predominately in arenas. As her album gained momentum in the United States, she joined Justin Timberlake as the opening act on his FutureSex/LoveShow, at select venues in the US. Pink returned to Europe during Summer 2007, playing open air/amphitheater festivals. She concluded her tour in South Africa. The tour became one of the most successful tours in both 2006 and 2007. In Australia, she became the most successful female artist during that time. The Australian tour grossed $41.5 million and was Pink's most successful tour until her Funhouse tour in 2009.
