The 2024 Gold Over America Tour, also called Athleta Presents the 2024 Gold Over America Tour, was the second gymnastics-themed touring show headlined by American artistic gymnast Simone Biles. It consisted of 32 arena shows across the United States and ran from September 16, 2024, in Oceanside, California, to November 3, 2024, in Detroit, Michigan.
The tour included several gymnasts from the U.S. women's national team—Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Hezly Rivera, and Joscelyn Roberson—and fan-favorites Trinity Thomas and Katelyn Ohashi. Unlike the first edition, which only included female gymnasts, the second iteration featured gymnasts from the U.S. men's national team, including Brody Malone, Paul Juda, Fred Richard, Shane Wiskus, Donnell Whittenburg, and Yul Moldauer. International gymnasts who joined the tour included Ellie Black and Peng-Peng Lee of Canada, Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos of France, and Casimir Schmidt of the Netherlands.
Background Biles launched the first Gold Over America Tour after the 2020 Summer Olympics as an all-woman tour blending sports and entertainment with the intention of inspiring a new generation of female athletes. Sponsored by the athletic apparel company Athleta, it sold 182,000 tickets and grossed $19.3 million across 32 cities. PopSugar described it as a "gymnastics-meet-pop concert spectacular".
Biles announced the second edition of the Gold Over America Tour in May 2024 as a follow-up to the 2024 Summer Olympics. Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos, Fred Richard, and Kayla DiCello were among the first cast members announced. Biles included male gymnasts to broaden the show's reach—particularly Richard, whom she credited with helping to make men's artistic gymnastics "relevant" in the United States, where women have dominated the sport. Other cast members determined after the run-up to the Olympics.
The tour incorporated elements of rhythmic gymnastics. There were discussions held about having SlamBall players join the "celebration of gymnastics" with the idea of bringing as many athletes on the show as possible. Dates were added in Oceanside and Boston to meet ticket demand.
