Concert Tour
A concert tour (or simply tour) is a series of concerts by an artist or group of artists in different cities, countries or locations. Often concert tours are named to differentiate different tours by the same artist and to associate a specific tour with a particular album or product. Especially in the popular music world, such tours can become large-scale enterprises that last for several months or even years, are seen by hundreds of thousands or millions of people, and bring in millions of dollars in ticket revenues. A performer who embarks on a concert tour is called a touring artist. Different segments of longer concert tours are known as "legs". The different legs of a tour are denoted in different ways, dependent on the artist and type of tour, but the most common means of separating legs are dates (especially if there is a long break at some point), countries and/or continents, or different opening acts. In the largest concert tours it has become more common for different ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

U2 360° Tour
The U2 360° Tour was a worldwide concert tour by rock band U2. Staged in support of the group's 2009 album ''No Line on the Horizon'', the tour visited stadiums from 2009 through 2011.

To accommodate the stage configuration, a large four-legged structure nicknamed "The Claw" was built above the stage, with the sound system and a cylindrical, expanding video screen on top of it. At tall, it was the largest stage ever constructed. U2 claimed that the tour would be "the first time a band has toured in stadiums with such a unique and original structure."

''Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814'' is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Janet Jackson, released on September 19, 1989, by A&M Records. Although label executives wanted material similar to her previous album, ''Control'' (1986), Jackson insisted on creating a concept album addressing social issues. Collaborating with songwriters and record producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, she drew inspiration from various tragedies reported through news media, exploring racism, poverty, and substance abuse, in addition to themes of romance. Although its primary concept of a sociopolitical utopia was met with mixed reactions, its composition received critical acclaim.

A Special 30th Anniversary Celebration of Rhythm Nation was a brief concert tour by American recording artist Janet Jackson. The tour commemorates the 30th anniversary of the release of her fourth studio album, ''Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814'' (1989). It followed the success of Jackson's residency show. The spot dates in the United States were followed by headlining at RNB Fridays Live (Australia) and Friday Jams Live (New Zealand). Critical reception Jon Bream of the ''Star Tribune'' stated Jackson still shined without all the glitz. He says, "Jackson unleashed irresistible club bangers, found nasty rhythms and grooves, cooed cuddly ballads, delivered pop favorites and unearthed enough deep tracks to reward the hard-core fans, something that was missing on the 2011 tour." John Berger ''(Honolulu Star-Advertiser)'' stated Jackson's shows in Hawaii were "worth the wait". He went on to say: " ..Jackson's star power — and a singer, as a dancer, as an entertainer — was a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
