farewell tours

Last concert series

A farewell tour is a final series of performances by a musician or band before retirement, often spanning months and multiple cities.

The term carries some skepticism—artists notorious for multiple "final" tours have made farewell a flexible concept: This is their third farewell tour.

The format extends beyond music to athletes, politicians, and executives making ceremonial last rounds: The CEO's farewell tour of regional offices.
