The Closed Windows Tour was was the second headlining concert tour by New Zealand singer Alisa Llobet, in support of her second studio album Closed Windows. This was also her first arena tour, as well as her first tour to reach Australia, Canada, and Latin America. The tour began on 16 October 1997 in Melbourne and concluded on 9 April 1998 in Madrid, comprising 62 concerts. Once again, her father served as the travelling assistant.

Background and development
The tour was announced in May 1997. Tickets went on sale in early November of that year. There was no minimum age restriction for attending the tour dates, but children needed to be accompanied by an adult at all times. Each show started between 5:00 and 6:45 in the evening.

Poll
On 2 August 1997, Llobet started a poll asking fans which venue was best suited for her Philadelphia. The choices in this poll were either the soon-to-be-opened Liacouras Center (opened 11 November 1997), the Spectrum (back then known as the CoreStates Spectrum) or the Wells Fargo Center (back then known as the CoreStates Center). Once the poll closed, 64% chose the Spectrum, while the Liacouras Center received 30% of the vote, and the CoreStates Center only getting 6%.
