The Winter Dance Party Tour began January 23, 1959 in [[Milwaukee]], [[Wisconsin]], with a planned coverage of 23 additional Mid-western cities within three weeks (January 23-February 15).  The headliners were Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, Dion and the Belmonts, and J.P. Richardson.  Waylon Jennings and Tommy Allsup were there as backups.

Facing the singers was the weather, in the teens during the entire trip, with colder wind gusts and snow.  To make things worse the tour bus they rode on had a disabled heater; as a result the mood was foul among all members when February arrived, and two members had to leave due to frostbite.  Still, the singers performed to delighted and enthusiastic crowds wherever they stopped.
