The Close Encounters Tour was a concert tour by English recording artist, Robbie Williams. Running from April to December 2006, the tour supported Williams' sixth studio album, Intensive Care. To date, it was the singer's largest tour, playing over 50 shows in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Australia. It is believed to have played to over 3 million spectators and earned over $60 million. The name is derived from the 1977 film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
