Biles and other gymnastic stars will perform across the country on the 30-city arena tour, aptly named the ‘Gold Over America Tour’ (GOAT) beginning with back-to-back shows at Frontwave Arena.

Biles appeared to enjoy the buildup to the tour after becoming the most decorated American gymnast in Paris. On September 12, she posted a video showing a new ‘trick’ she learned from Sky Blakely.
From the world’s stage to the GOAT stage, this incredible journey continues, and I can’t wait for fans to see what we have in store this year,’ Biles said in a press release for the event. ‘I love creating unforgettable memories for our audiences every night on tour.’
The tour will start in Oceanside’s Frontwave Arena and wrap up on November 3 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.

The 30-stop tour comes after the gymnastic legend’s most recent Olympic success in Paris But the gymnast will still be able to squeeze an NFL game in in between the stops. Preparation for the tour has forced her to miss husband Jonathan Owens’ opening two games of the season for the Chicago Bears.
Yet, Owens, who married the Olympic legend last year, revealed that Biles will be making an appearance at Solider Field as early as this month. ‘She’ll be here the 29th, the safety told the Chicago Bears’ YouTube channel. ‘She has a tour stop here that evening at 7. Literally perfect. So, she can come to the game at 12 and then boom, I’ll get to go watch her at 7. Pretty dope turnaround.’
