The Cast of Glee went on tour from May 21 - June 18 in the USA and Canada, and from June 22 - July 3 in England and Ireland.
Ashley Fink, Chord Overstreet, and the Warblers joined the main cast members for the tour. The concert was also featured in a 3D Concert Movie called Glee Live! 3D! which includes Gwyneth Paltrow and Jane Lynch live. The movie was released in theaters during June–August 2011 and on DVD in December 2011.
Beginning Saturday, May 21 at the Mandalay Bay Event Center in Las Vegas, NV, the stars of Glee performed in an all-new singing and dancing celebration of the Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning show.
The European exclusive engagement of “Glee Live! In Concert!,” is a unique concert experience once again conceived by Murphy that includes live performances of some of the show’s most memorable musical numbers from seasons one and two including “Empire State of Mind,” “Toxic,” “My Life Would Suck Without You,” “It’s My Life,” and of course, the show’s anthem, “Don’t Stop Believin’,”
Described by the Los Angeles Times as “triumphant,” USA Today called last year’s concerts “equal parts musical theater, giddy pop culture phenomenon and Journey-loving rock show,” said Murphy, “We had such a great time putting together last year’s shows and the response from the fans was incredible. People around the world want to see our cast live and in person, so this European tour is our way of thanking them for the unbelievable way they’ve embraced our little show.”
Empire State of Mind - Cory Monteith (Finn), Amber Riley (Mercedes), Mark Salling (Puck), Lea Michele (Rachel), Kevin McHale (Artie), and Naya Rivera (Santana)
Somebody to Love - Cory Monteith (Finn), Lea Michele (Rachel), Kevin McHale (Artie), and Amber Riley (Mercedes)
Don't Rain On My Parade was cut from the setlist after May 28 because Lea Michele (Rachel) found it too difficult to perform each night. It will be included however in Glee Live! 3D!. (Lea sang it at the Uniondale, NY show and the East Rutherford show)
A skit followed River Deep - Mountain High, and was performed by Heather Morris (Brittany), Darren Criss (Blaine), and Chris Colfer (Kurt). It served as a lead-in to Jesse's Girl. (Included in "Videos" section)

Notes
Naya was sick for two shows, the June 28th London show and the June 30th London show. She appeared in the 28th show (doing up to Loser Like Me and stopping for the encore), but sadly, was too sick for the June 30th show.
With Naya being sick (and Amber doing River Deep, Mountain High alone), Jenna did True Colors in place of Valerie.
For the June 13th show in Detroit, Dianna was missing for an unknown reason (it was later figured out that there were passport issues). For the June 29th show in London, she got sick and sadly couldn't perform. Dianna was also sick for the July 2nd show in Dublin.
With Dianna sick for the June 29th show, Lucky was removed.
In place of that, they put Forget You, in which Gwyneth Paltrow appeared. This is the second time she has sung this, she also sang it for the New Jersey shows.
For one show, Chord performed sick but didn't do any of the group numbers.
For the 8pm show in Toronto on the 12 of June, Dianna wore a 'Likes Girls' shirt to show her appreciation for the LGBT community.
For one show, with a smaller stage, Dianna was standing too close to where fireworks were about to go off. Lea saved her by saying "Come over here, you're about to die!"
For the Ireland shows, Heather's shirt said: I'm with Amadán (which is Irish for fool/stupid).
Naya wore a shirt that said: Lebanese for Irish Girls.
For the very last show, Heather and Naya kissed and Darren and Chris kissed.
For the very last show, a lot of the cast wore Warbler ties/jackets due to the fact it was uncertain whether or not they would be seen in season 3 due to Blaine transferring.
The kiss between Heather and Naya was planned. Heather said they were backstage getting ready, when they decided to do it. Most of the skits are improvised anyway. They also said the particular show was a mess anyway.
Chris Colfer did not know Darren was going to kiss him. (around 6:20)
