Dream Again Tour

The Dream Again Tour was a two-leg concert tour by Filipina singer Lea Salonga. The tour was titled after her 2020 single, "Dream Again." It was originally intended to run during 2020 under a different headline, but it was postponed in March 2020, shortly after Salonga's performances in Dubai, due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] In May 2020, the tour was once again postponed to Fall 2021.[2] On September 20, 2021, Salonga announced the United Kingdom (UK) leg of the tour, officially named after the 2020 single.[3][4] The following month, she announced that she would first be touring the United States and Canada in Spring 2022.[5][6]
