Simone Biles concert chronology

The Gold Over America Tour, also called Athleta Presents Gold Over America Tour, was a 2021 gymnastics-themed touring show headlined by Simone Biles.

In late 2019, Biles announced her plans to launch an all-woman tour that would be a mixture of sports and entertainment intended to inspire the next generation of female athletes.[1] Slated to take place after the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, the tour was to mount shows in 35 cities.

Former UCLA gymnast Katelyn Ohashi was the first cast member announced,[2] followed by other high-profile gymnasts, including 2020 Olympians Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Grace McCallum, and MyKayla Skinner;[3] and fan-favorites Morgan Hurd, Laurie Hernandez (who also provided the pre-recorded narration for the opening act), and Chellsie Memmel.[4]

The tour ran from September to November 2021, played 34 shows in 32 cities (three dates were cancelled), sold 182,000 tickets, and grossed $19.3 million.[5] One news outlet called it a "gymnastics-meets-pop-concert spectacular".[6]

A second 30-city tour began in fall 2024.[7]
