The Listening Sessions

The Listening Sessions was the debut concert tour by American singer Ariana Grande.

The tour supported Grande's debut studio album, Yours Truly (2013), which was released September 3, 2013.

The tour began on August 11, 2013 and concluded September 22, 2013 and showcased all of the material from Grande's debut studio album, with the exception of "Popular Song".

The tour was said to expand after the release of Yours Truly, but failed to materialize due to Grande's filming schedule for Sam & Cat and recording sessions for her second studio album, My Everything.

[2] Grande said she chose the name "The Listening Sessions" because she would only be playing a handful of small intimate venues and fans would be hearing the music from the album before it was released.
