The Piano & A Microphone Tour was the final concert tour by American recording artist Prince. In a December 2015 interview in anticipation of the tour, he said that "I'm doing it to challenge myself, I won't know what songs I'm going to do when I go on stage. I won't have to, because I won't have a band".

It became Prince's final tour due to his sudden death on April 21, 2016, a week after the last performance of the tour.

Notes

• The first show on February 16, in Melbourne, Australia, Prince dedicated performances of "Little Red Corvette", "Dirty Mind", "The Ladder", "The Beautiful Ones" and "Adore" in special tribute to ex-girlfriend singer-actress Vanity, who died on February 15, 2016. He also shared memorable heart-felt stories when they were together.

• During the first show Prince also performed "A Place In Heaven", an unreleased instrumental track from 1983 or 1984, seemingly in connection with the passing of Vanity.
