The Open Road Tour was the first concert tour by British singer-songwriter Gary Barlow as a solo artist. The tour spanned the United Kingdom and Europe to promote his debut solo album Open Road.
The tour itself encountered a number of problems with the release of tickets which caused many dates to be postponed, and moved to dates months ahead from their intended performances. The postponement of various dates of the tour was reported due to commitments with his second album and a reported rife between Barlow and RCA at the time.
The tour itself was received well by critics, who described Barlow as 'one of the best all-round live shows of 1998' and paid tribute to how he 'appeared entirely at home as the man in the spotlight, demonstrating a humble and wholly likable stage persona during the 90-minute show which clearly illustrated his immense musical talents, encompassing soul, pop and rock roots with a tinkling of jazz thrown in for good measure.'
