The Fly Tour was the Dixie Chicks' 2000 concert tour in over 80 cities in North America in support of their album "Fly".

This was the Dixie Chicks' first headlining tour since suddenly becoming very popular in 1998, and they played mostly arenas. Begun at the start of June with five dates in Canada, and with occasional two-week breaks in between legs, the tour was originally scheduled to end in September. However, after having grossed over $25 million for about 50 dates, it was extended until early December [http://www.livedaily.com/news/Dixie_Chicks_to_keep_Fly_tour_alive_into_December-1885.html] , when it concluded with four dates in the Chicks' native Texas.
