Gwen Stefani - 'Harajuku Lovers" Tour

The Harajuku Lovers Tour 2005 is Gwen Stefani's first solo concert tour in support of her solo album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. Reviews of the tour were mostly positive, many lauding Gwen as the new Madonna. On this tour Gwen brought pirates, break-dancers, marching band and her four Harajuku Girls to the stage and transformed herself from albino Snow White to Californian chola-girl to 21st Century Marilyn Monroe. Openers for the North American tour include the Black Eyed Peas, M.I.A., and Ciara.

Stefani's first solo concert tour coincides with the launch of her Harajuku Lovers line of accessories. Stefani announced on her official website that she will be producing a Harajuku Lovers Tour DVD, which took place on her first tour stop in her hometown, Anaheim along with her second solo album, The Sweet Escape. Release date is set to be December 4th internationally and December 5th in the United States. Not because of the songs but because of Stefani's profanity filled on-stage persona, the DVD will carry a Parental Advisory sticker (a clean version will also be released).
