world tour

Globe-spanning concert series

A world tour is a series of performances, appearances, or visits spanning multiple countries across different continents.

Musicians go on world tours to promote albums, playing venues from Tokyo to Berlin to São Paulo.

The term applies broadly to any global itinerary: a world tour of duty, a culinary world tour.

Despite the name, most world tours skip large portions of the world entirely.
