Psychédélices World Tour
On 2008, Alizée started a tour to promote her album, Psychédélices. The tour was highly focused in Mexico, that was because it's one of the countries where Alizée has experienced the most of her success. On 2008, she did one performance in Russia and five in Mexico. Later on in 2009, she had plans of making two more performances, one in Mexico and one in France. The performance in Paris, France on Le Grand Rex was cancelled, making this the only tour by Alizée that had no venues in France. Although she cancelled the French performance, the Mexican performance still was done.Tour dates
