The Breakaway Tour was the first headlining concert tour by American pop recording artist Kelly Clarkson. It began on March 30, 2005, in Tulsa, Oklahoma and finished on March 23, 2006, in Vienna, Austria.[1] The tour promoted her second studio album, Breakaway (2004), and this was her first tour to visit Australia and Europe.
