The Verizon VIP Tour was an annual concert tour promoted by Live Nation Global Touring and Verizon Wireless. Following in the footsteps of the Verizon Ladies First Tour, the VIP Tour features an emerging female artist as the headliner. The concerts are exclusive to Verizon Wireless customers (although select concerts are open to the public), following an appearance by the headliner at a local Verizon Wireless store. The tour predominantly takes place in the United States. The concert series ran from 2007-09.

The inaugural Verizon VIP Tour was headlined by American singer-songwriter Fergie. The tour supported her debut album, The Dutchess.

British singer-songwriter Natasha Bedingfield headlined the 2008 Verizon VIP Tour. The tour supported her third studio album, Pocketful of Sunshine.

American rapper Bow Wow was slated to headline a series of concerts in the Fall of 2008. The tour was later canceled without explanation.

Australian country singer Keith Urban headlined the concert series in 2009. Unlike previous outings, the tour was very limited, with only six tour dates—as Urban was preparing for his upcoming, "Escape Together World Tour". He serves as the first male performer for the concert series. Urban described the outing as:

"Clubs are where it all began. There's just something about the way the band grooves and how the audience gets right up there close and personal, and I love it. So for me there's a nostalgic cool factor in doing this with Verizon."

The tour was also recognized as the No Frills Tour
