The Harajuku Lovers Tour was the first solo concert tour of American recording artist Gwen Stefani. The tour began through October to November 2005, to support of her debut studio album "Love. Angel. Music. Baby." (2004).

Angel. Music. Baby." The tour consisted of only one leg, which encompassed a three-month-long series of performances that visited cities throughout the United States and Canada.

The Sweet Escape tour was generally well-received by critics. Ricardo Baca "(The Denver Post)" stated the concert in Denver showed Stefani had the tact to become a solo pop star. He continues, "Wednesday's show was proof of Stefani the rock star. While she's still better suited for the sneering pop-ska of her band No Doubt, she does all right with the glittery, hip-hop-fueled Top 40-loving music on which she has built her solo career." For the concert in Mansfield, Joan Anderman of "The Boston Globe" stated, "Ironically, for a performer so enamored of artifice, Stefani perpetually comes off as one of the more genuine chart-toppers.
The Sweet Escape Tour | Critical reception
After releasing two solo albums, "Love. Angel. Music. Baby" (2004) and "The Sweet Escape" (2006), Stefani returned to work with her band No Doubt, and in 2012 they released their sixth studio album, "Push and Shove".
