The trio toured the United States performing in over twenty cities during March and April of 2004. Ladies First was the first time at least three female R&B/hip hop artists were featured as headliners, and it went on to be one of the biggest tours of that year, ranking 34th on Pollstar's "Top Tours of 2004"—grossing around $20 million.[4][5] The success of the tour prompted talks for a second tour in 2005; however, those plans were scrapped, with Verizon focused on developing their VIP Tour instead.
