The Independent Tour was a co-headlining tour by American recording artists Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken. The tour supported their debut albums, Thankful (2003) and Measure of a Man (2003). The tour only reached the United States during the winter and spring of 2004. Clarkson and Aiken performed individual shows before joining in a duet for Clarkson's encore. Many critics described the tour as the PG version of The Justified & Stripped Tour in 2003.[1] The tour placed 58th in Pollstar's annual "Top 100 Tours", earning over ten million dollars with 31 shows.[2][3]
