stadium tour

Massive venue trek

A stadium tour is a concert tour playing large sports venues rather than smaller arenas or theaters, typically reserved for the biggest acts who can fill 40,000+ seats: Taylor Swift's stadium tour broke attendance records.

The term signals an artist's commercial dominance—graduating to stadium tours marks career achievement.
