The Little One Tour is a 2011 concert tour by the American singer-songwriter Bilal, in support of his album Airtight's Revenge. The tour was also used by the singer to promote the charity Autism Speaks and titled after the Airtight's Revenge single "Little One", an ode to his autistic son.[1]
The tour began in February 2011, with shows in the U.S. and Europe,[2] and ended on September 16.[3] On June 18, Bilal headlined along with other acts as part of the Stockholm Jazz Festival[4] and performed two shows in South Africa in August.[5] In addition to Airtight's Revenge, Bilal performed songs from his unreleased second album Love for Sale, which had developed a cult following.[6]
