The American Idols Live! Tour 2015 was a summer concert tour in the United States that featured the Top 5 contestants of the fourteenth season of American Idol. The tour began on July 7, 2015, in Clearwater, Florida and ended on August 28, 2015, in Riverside, California. Like the previous tour, the size of venues was smaller, and for the first time, the tour featured the Top 5 instead of the usual Top 10. After not having a live band for the 2014 tour, there was one for this tour. This was initially the last American Idol tour when the show aired on Fox as the 2016 tour was canceled. The tour was, however, revived in 2018.
