Roulette Tour
# Roulette Tour

The Roulette Tour is the fourth headlining concert tour by the English boy band Blue. On 27 March 2013, the group announced live on British daytime magazine programme This Morning that they would be embarking on their first headlining tour after reuniting later on in the year. After one concert in London, the tour kicked off in Germany with nine dates and additional five dates one each in Austria, Switzerland, France and two in Italy all in late May and early June. The second leg led the tour through further twenty-one dates in United Kingdom. In 2018, the tour led to the release of The Roulette Tour 2013 (Live at The Hammersmith Apollo), their second live album.

## Critical reception

Sam Rigby from Digital Spy called the show "a welcome trip down memory lane." He found that "despite the fact that their new material is largely forgettable, Blue succeed in giving their fans a welcome trip down memory lane. Whether they can sustain their comeback remains to be seen, but for now, it's just nice to see those dance moves on show again."
