The tour visited nine cities in 2016 in the [United States](/source/United_States) and [Canada](/source/Canada), kicking off in [New York City](/source/New_York_City)'s [Hammerstein Ballroom](/source/Hammerstein_Ballroom) on October 29 and concluding in [Toronto](/source/Toronto) at the [Sound Academy](/source/Sound_Academy) on November 14. The tour was promoted by SIVA Entertainment Group.[citation needed] The setlist consisted of her solo songs along with many of her previous works with [K-pop](/source/K-pop) [girl group](/source/Girl_group) [2NE1](/source/2NE1). ## Background and development On September 23, 2016, [YG Entertainment](/source/YG_Entertainment) announced that CL would hold her first American tour. She will visit nine cities in North America, with a total of nine shows.[1][2] The tour's name derives from CL's 2015 [Korean language](/source/Korean_language) single "[Hello Bitches](/source/Hello_Bitches)". The tour's announcement followed the release of CL's debut American single "[Lifted](/source/Lifted_(CL_song))" on August 19, amid news of an upcoming English-language debut [EP](/source/Extended_play). The sold-out show at the [Hammerstein Ballroom](/source/Hammerstein_Ballroom)[3][4] made her the first Korean female singer to play a solo concert at a major venue in [New York City](/source/New_York_City).[5] An unreleased music video of "Hello Bitches" was also played during the tour. ## Controversy On November 7, fans and concertgoers had noticed that CL had been using the "controversial" version of her song "[MTBD (Mental Breakdown)](/source/MTBD_(Mental_Breakdown)_(song))" since the tour started. CL apologized on her Twitter account stating that her "engineer [had] sent the old version for [the] tour".[6] CL performed the alternative version for the later shows.[7] ## Set list 1.
