The Party Tour was the debut concert tour by American singer-songwriter, Pink. The tour supported her second studio album Missundaztood (2001).
While promoting her second studio album, Missundaztood, Pink stated she was proud of the "new" sound of the album and was ready to go on the road with her new band. Planning the tour, Pink was given complete control of all aspects of the tour including staging and opening acts. During an interview at the ESPY Awards, Pink mentioned she chose the girl group "Candy Ass" because she's always wanted to be in an all-girl band. She further stated that she would cover songs by her musical inspirations including 4 Non Blondes, Aerosmith, Janis Joplin, Guns N' Roses and Mary J. Blige.
The stage was very simplistic consisting of a backdrop resembling a brick wall with a graffiti text saying "P!nk", a video screen, lights, instruments and one microphone. The show's setup was designed for the nightclubs and concert halls Pink would play that had an average audience size of 3,000 attendees. During this time, Pink's peers Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera where touring the U.S. as well in sports arenas and amphitheaters. Pink (who previous condemned the comparisons) stated:
"Big productions, to me, are great — like, I love going to Vegas and seeing shows — but I think that sometimes it's distracting, especially when you are there to listen to the music. I remember being on tour with '’NSYNC, and I don't know if this is appropriate, but it was something like a $5 million stage, and to me that was just like, 'Man, I will take a box out there and stand on it with a microphone. I ain't spending that much money.' I love the shows that are in dingy little dark clubs, smoky, no production whatsoever. My stage show is raw and unpredictable. It's not a lot of choreography this time. There's practically no sequencing involved whatsoever. It's just instruments and a voice and incredible music. When there is a lot of sequencing or ProTools or DATs involved, it gets a little strange, so this is going to be definitely more organic."
