world tours

Playing every continent

World tours are extended journeys visiting multiple countries or continents, typically undertaken by musicians, performers, or speakers: The band announced a world tour to promote their new album.

The term can describe any globe-spanning travel itinerary, though it often implies a professional circuit rather than leisure travel.

Despite the name, most world tours don't literally visit every region—they hit major markets.
