The No Security Tour was a Rolling Stones concert tour to promote the concert album No Security. The tour spanned over 40 shows in North America and Europe in 1999 and grossed $88.5 million from over a million tickets sold.

History They decided to do a tour with crowds less than 20,000 after the worldwide enormous Bridges to Babylon Tour with crowds of up to 100,000. The band insisted on smaller venues, with fewer special effects, concentrating on the music and band. The tour supported their new album No Security – a live album of Bridges to Babylon Tour recordings. After rehearsing for twelve days in San Francisco, the No Security Tour began on 25 January 1999 at the Oakland Arena in Oakland, California.

The 1999 European concerts are mistakenly considered as a European leg of the No Security Tour, but it is indeed a new leg to the Bridges to Baylon Tour, mainly consisting of cancelled shows from the 1998 Bridges to Babylon Tour. The stage used in Europe was the classical Bridges to Babylon Tour stage from 1997 and 1998.

In July 2018, the band released "From the Vault: No Security Tour - San Jose '99" on CD/vinyl/DVD/Blu-Ray format. This was followed six years later in December 2024 by "Welcome to Shepherds Bush" on CD/vinyl/DVD/Blu-Ray format chronicling an intimate show in London recorded in June 1999.
