The Kitty Bellerose Revue was the fifth concert tour and second all-stadium tour, launched in support of her seventh studio album, The Life & Death of Kitty Bellerose (2030). Following a complete media hiatus, Vinco surprise-released the album on January 25, with dates announced the next day. The tour, visiting eleven cities and spanning fifty performances, including her first ever concerts in Japan. It commenced on Saint-Denis, France, on July 20, 2030, and concluded in Sydney, Australia, on November 30, 2030.
Rehearsals commenced at Paris' Boulogne Studios for three months, before moving to London as the opening date approached. This tour was notably the last to feature Vinco’s original dancers and band members, who first debuted in 2017's Play: The Tour. Vinco collaborated with various French fashion houses to design costumes, each a fusion of a distinct era of Hollywood cinema and her own music career. Described as a celebration of the singer's career by several critics, the four-hour show chronicled the titular character’s journey, taking influence from the Golden Age of Hollywood and early movie musicals. The standard forty-song setlist featured all sixteen tracks from The Life & Death of Kitty Bellerose, along with select hit singles and other songs from her catalogue, that explored themes of media scrutiny, stardom, sexuality, and sociopolitical issues.
Critics and audiences highly praised The Kitty Bellerose Revue for Vinco's stage presence and visual storytelling, as well as wardrobe, choreography, thematic depth, and film references. With a commercial revenue of $363.7 million, the tour became the tenth-highest grossing tour by a woman and the highest-grossing tour of 2030. Footage from the residency at Accor Stadium was used for an HBO Max concert special, released on December 20. A week later, a digital live album was released, along with physical copies of The Life & Death of Kitty Bellerose.
Background
On January 25, 2030, after a complete media hiatus, Vinco surprise released her seventh studio album, The Life & Death of Kitty Bellerose, exclusively through digital platforms. On January 31, the singer announced her first tour in six years with twenty-show shows. Entitled The Life & Times of Kitty Bellerose, the tour was her first to not partner with Live Nation Entertainment or selling tickets via Ticketmaster, both of which history of monopolization over the live music industry, ticket price inflation, and collusion with scalpers. Previously, the singer opted out of dynamic pricing for 2024's The Unexpected Tour and did the same when selling tickets exclusively via her website. A fan-verified presale took place on February 9, followed by general sales on February 12.
A week later, extra shows in London, Paris, Toronto, and New York were added to the itinerary. On April 2, the tour was reportedly 90% sold out by the month's conclusion. An accompanying visual album for The Life & Death of Kitty Bellerose, starring Vinco and Robert Pattinson, was released on HBO Max.
On May 12, high demand saw additional concerts in North America and five dates in Sydney announced. On July 19 and November 29, Vinco released digital live albums for For You (2022) and The Unexpected Tour (2024), respectively.
Development
French fashion houses Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, Balenciaga, and Jean Paul Gaultier collaborated with Vinco to create custom wardrobe, each a fusion of Old Hollywood cinema and fashion and Vinco’s own album eras.
