**The Bloom Tour** was the fourth headlining [concert tour](/source/Concert_tour) by Australian singer [Troye Sivan](/source/Troye_Sivan), in support of his sophomore album, *[Bloom](/source/Bloom_(Troye_Sivan_album))* (2018). It began on 21 September 2018 in [Irving](/source/Irving,_Texas), [United States](/source/United_States) and ended on 30 November 2019 in [Chengdu](/source/Chengdu), [China](/source/China).

## Background

On 28 May 2018, Sivan announced the North American leg. The leg was set to feature German singer and songwriter [Kim Petras](/source/Kim_Petras) as the main opening act with American singer-songwriters [Leland](/source/Leland_(musician)) and [Carlie Hanson](/source/Carlie_Hanson) in selected dates.[1] The announcement of Kim Petras as an opening act resulted in backlash due to her association with American record producer [Dr. Luke](/source/Dr._Luke) who was [sued by American singer Kesha for sexual abuse](/source/Kesha_v._Dr._Luke). Petras stated in an interview with [NME](/source/NME) that she would not work with someone she believed was an abuser of women when questioned about working with him.[2] She released a statement on social media apologizing and saying that while she had been open about her positive experiences with Dr. Luke, it did not negate other people's experiences.[3] Sivan released a statement saying that he was not aware of Petras' comments about Dr. Luke but that while her comments did not align with his views, he supported her as an artist and person and they had spoken to each other personally to address her comments.[4]

The presale tickets went on sale on 5 June through Sivan's official app.[5] Latin American leg featured festival appearances during [Lollapalooza](/source/Lollapalooza) in Argentina, Chile and Brazil.[6] Two sideshow dates were announced in Buenos Aires and São Paulo.[7] The European leg dates was announced on 19 November 2018, followed by the tickets sale four days later.[8] The Asian legs was announced on 14 February 2019.[9] The Australian and New Zealand leg was announced on 21 June 2019, with tickets on sale on 28 June 2019.[10] Three additional dates in China were announced on 24 September 2019, with tickets on sale on 30 September 2019.[11]

## Critical reception

Reviewing for the opening night in Irving, Isabel Arcellana of *[Dallas Observer](/source/Dallas_Observer)* praised Sivan's stage presence and vocal performance but criticized the set that "could have been more original" and long breaks between wardrobe change.[12] Eric Webb of *[Austin360](/source/Austin360)* called Sivan "held his arms open in a joyful celebration of queer identity and love" in his show in Austin.[13] Brittany Spanos of *[Rolling Stone](/source/Rolling_Stone)* praised Sivan for "carried himself well on stage, embodying the sweeping, changing emotions of each of his songs with grace."[14] Natalia Manzocco of *[Now](/source/Now_(newspaper))* rated the show in Toronto four out of five stars and called it "beautifully and explicitly queer."[15] While reviewing the show in Denver, Tyler Harvey of *303 Magazine* praised the set list and called it "merged with emotional, daring and raw authenticity."[16] Olivia Khiel of *Atlas Artist Group* described the show in Phoenix "a joy."[17] Reviewing the show in San Diego, Jahfreen Alam of *[The Guardian (UCSD)](/source/The_Guardian_(UCSD))* gave it a rate of B and called it "a celebration of youth, growing up and finding yourself."[18]

Rachel Bowles of *[The Skinny](/source/The_Skinny_(magazine))* rated the show in Glasgow four of five stars and said Sivan "put his absolute all into forging those precious moments with the crowd."[19] Meliza Sestito of *aAh! Magazine* described the show in Manchester as "a positive and uplifting experience."[20] Writing for *[NME](/source/NME)*, Sophie Williams praised the show and called it as a "communal celebration of what it truly means to be young, queer and free."[21]
