The Dressed to Kill Tour was the sixth solo concert tour by American singer-actress Cher. Launched in support of her twenty-fifth studio album, Closer to the Truth, it started in Phoenix, Arizona on March 22, 2014 and continued across North America before coming to a close in San Diego on July 11, 2014. The tour has received mostly positive reception from critics, who praised Cher's vocal performance as well as the several costumes and show elements.
Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo were listed as "special guests" for the first 13 dates from March 22, 2014 to April 12, 2014 and Cyndi Lauper for the further 36 shows from April 23, 2014 through July 11, 2014. On November 21, 2014, after numerous delays in the planned launch of the second leg of the tour, Cher announced that she had prematurely aborted the tour due to health problems. She discussed options to resume the tour sometime in 2015 but as of early 2016 this did not yet come to pass. Even with the cancelation of the 2nd leg, the tour made its way onto the Pollstar's Top 20 Worldwide Tours of 2014 list, ranking at number 19 with the gross of $54.8 million and more than 600,000 tickets sold.
On September 23, 2013, Cher visited The Today Show aired on NBC where she performed "Woman's World", "I Hope You Find It" and "Believe". While on the show, Cher announced that she would tour with her twenty-fifth album, Closer to the Truth. When speaking about the tour, Cher stated:
"Being on the road is horrible but the concerts are great. I can understand why bands tear up hotel rooms - it can be a very lonely place - but the only time you have fun is at the concerts."
After the appearance, it was announced through Cher's website that American Express cardmembers would have the first chance to purchase the tickets during the tour pre-sale from September 30, 2013 to October 3, 2013. Tickets that are purchased online will include a physical copy of Closer to the Truth.
