The Piece by Piece Tour was the eighth headlining concert tour from American pop recording artist Kelly Clarkson, in support of her seventh studio album, Piece by Piece (2015). It began on July 11, 2015, in Hershey, Pennsylvania at the Hersheypark Stadium and concluded on September 10, 2015, in Atlanta. The tour placed 106th for Pollstar's Year End Top 200 North American Tours of 2015, grossing $9.7 million.
On February 2, 2015, while being interviewed by Canadian radio station 98.1 CHFI, Clarkson was asked about the tour. She replied that she just got the routing for the tour, and they would do the United States, part of Canada, then a full run in Canada, with further dates to follow at a later time. On March 3, 2015, Clarkson formally announced plans for a tour while promoting Piece by Piece (2015) during an appearance on Good Morning America. An official release confirmed dates across North America. Additional Canadian dates were released on March 16, 2015. Tour dates for the United Kingdom were announced on Clarkson's website on August 3, 2015.
Supporting Clarkson in the United States and Toronto were planned opening acts: Eric Hutchinson and Pentatonix. In a video that Clarkson posted of herself on her Facebook page talking about the tour, she showed her excitement about Pentatonix opening for her and hopes to convince them to sing with her during her set.Nick Jonas and Tyler Shaw were scheduled to open up for Clarkson in October 2015 in Canada before these dates were cancelled. On May 21, 2015, it was announced that singer Abi Ann would also be opening up for Clarkson.
Clarkson confirmed plans to include Piece by Piece singles "Heartbeat Song" and "Invincible" in the set list for the show, alongside album-only tracks, "Dance With Me" and "Tightrope", with the latter promised to be a highlight for the show. Speaking to USA Today, Clarkson stated: "Because of an element I've never done on tour, it makes sense to incorporate that song. I'm not flying or on a tightrope — there's not that — but it makes sense with that song and how it sounds on the record that it will fit into the show." The Piece by Piece Tour will be led by Live Nation Entertainment's global touring division.
