The Verizon Ladies First Tour (2004) was a co-headlining concert tour by American recording artists Beyoncé, Alicia Keys and Missy Elliott. Canadian artist Tamia was featured as a special guest on certain dates. The tour, dubbed an "urban Lilith Fair", supported Beyoncé's debut studio album, Dangerously in Love (2003) Keys' sophomore album, The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003) and Elliott's fourth and fifth albums, Under Construction (2002) and This is Not a Test! (2003), respectively.[3]
The trio toured the United States performing in over twenty cities during March and April of 2004. Ladies First was the first time at least three female R&B/hip hop artists were featured as headliners, and it went on to be one of the biggest tours of that year, ranking 34th on Pollstar's "Top Tours of 2004"—grossing around $20 million.[4][5] The success of the tour prompted talks for a second tour in 2005; however, those plans were scrapped, with Verizon focused on developing their VIP Tour instead.
