The Libra Tour was the second concert tour by American pop-R&B singer Toni Braxton. The tour, which was in support of her RIAA gold-selling album Libra, kicked off in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on March 10 and continued through mid-summer.[1] Braxton played to sold-out shows across the US, performing in venues such as theaters, instead of arenas.
