Prince concert chronology |
The Jam of the Year World Tour was a concert tour which took place from January 1997 to January 1998 visiting cities all across the United States and Canada. This tour took place in support of Prince's 19th studio album, Emancipation released in November 1996.
This is one of Prince's most notable tours and is also Prince's first tour in North America after he changed his name in 1993.
After wrapping up his performances at the Blaisdell Arena on his Gold Tour to promote his 17th studio album, The Gold Experience , Prince was due to embark on a North American Leg of the tour in March 1996 with The Time, D'Angelo and Tony Rich. However, due to the fact that Prince was working on Emancipation and quickly putting out projects to hurry and get out of his 1992 Warner Bros. deal, he cancelled the tour. He fired everyone from the New Power Generation at the time and made a completely new configuration of the band. In July 1996, Prince released his 18th studio album, Chaos and Disorder which marked to be his final album to complete the requirements under his Warner Bros. contract. [1]
In November 1996, Prince released his 19th studio album Emancipation and announced that he was going on a world tour. He said due to the fact that the Warner Bros. contract doesn't end until December 31, 1999, the tour would continue until the year 2000 so that he wouldn't have to return to the studio. [2] He quickly broke that promise with the release of the de facto Prince album, Newpower Soul by the New Power Generation leading him to change the title of the tour in February 1998.
The world tour was planned to start overseas in Sweden in June 1997 however, all those concerts were cancelled due to reasons unknown. Prince was also supposed to start promo for Emancipation with one-off concerts all across the world planning to come to Brazil, Italy, Germany, England, Spain, France & Netherlands but all further plans were cancelled. [3] Rumors that Prince also planned to headline the 1997 Super Bowl XXXI Halftime Show at the Louisiana Superdome however none of those plans fell through either. [4]
However, in December 1996, Prince announced that he was going to do public warm-up shows for his band in support of his charity, Love 4 One Another. [5] It was named the Love 4 One Another Charities Tour, and it started on January 7, 1997, at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby Township, Pennsylvania. Tickets went on sale just three days before the first show and sold out almost immediately. All of the proceeds made from the tour went to his charity. In July 1997, almost 2 weeks before the first show of the Jam of the Year World Tour began, tickets were put on sale on July 10 for the first round of shows for the official tour. The first date of the tour started on July 21 in Clarkston, Michigan at the Pine Knob Music Center.

One Nite Alone... Live! is a live album box set by Prince and The New Power Generation, containing live recordings from the intimate One Nite Alone... Tour performances. The album was released in 2002 but many of the tracks were new arrangements of songs dating from more than 20 years earlier. It was the first album since the Love Symbol Album in 1992 to be credited to Prince and The New Power Generation. Among the album's highlights are "Sometimes It Snows in April" and "Adore" at the piano, an extended "Joy in Repetition", and an energetic "When U Were Mine".
Girl 6 is the soundtrack album to the Spike Lee film of the same name. All songs were written by Prince. It was released on March 19, 1996, by Warner Bros. Records. The album consists of mostly previously released songs from Prince and related artists such as the Family, Vanity 6, and the New Power Generation. The three previously unreleased tracks are "She Spoke 2 Me", "Don't Talk 2 Strangers" and "Girl 6", which was newly recorded for the soundtrack.
Prince was well known in the entertainment industry for having a vast body of work that remains unreleased. It has been said that his vault contains multiple unreleased albums and over 50 fully produced music videos that have never been released, along with albums and other media. The following is a list, in rough chronological order, of the most prominent of these unreleased works. Many were later released and circulated among collectors as bootlegs.
The Funhouse Tour was the fourth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Pink. The tour supported her fifth studio album, Funhouse (2008). The tour visited Europe, Australia and North America. According to Pollstar, the Funhouse Tour (2009) earned more than $100 million with more than 1.5 million in attendance. The Australian leg of the tour broke the record for the biggest tour in the history of the country. The Australian shows were attended by 660,000 people and grossed over $55 million.
The Purple Rain Tour was a concert tour by American recording artist Prince and the Revolution following up on the success of his sixth studio album Purple Rain and his 1984 film Purple Rain. According to Spin, the tour sold over 1.7 million tickets.
The Nude Tour was a greatest-hits concert tour by American recording artist Prince. While his previous tour had drawn critical praise, the high cost of the concert tour production made it a financial disappointment; thus, Prince eliminated much of the excessiveness of the previous tour to be more financially viable. To make the tour as cost effective as possible, Prince decided not to tour in the U.S. this time, and thus he did not return to performing in North America until the Act I Tour in 1993.
The Heartstrings World Tour is the twelfth concert tour by British-Australian pop singer Olivia Newton-John. It began in 2002 and went through until 2005, with shows in North America, Australia and Japan during that time, she supported the three Newton-John albums (2), Indigo: Women of Song, and Stronger Than Before.
The Diamonds and Pearls Tour was a concert tour by American recording artist Prince and the New Power Generation promoting his Diamonds and Pearls album, released the previous year. The tour itinerary were scheduled dates in Asia, Europe, and for the first time, Australia. Like several of his then-recent tours, Prince chose not to tour the United States, the exception being the Lovesexy Tour in 1988. It would be 1993's Act I Tour before Prince did a full tour of the United States.
The Ultimate Live Experience was a European concert tour by Prince that was mostly in the United Kingdom that was through the month of March 1995. This tour was to promote the soon-to-be The Gold Experience that was released in September later that year. Much of the setlist was from Gold Experience and there was also Come and Exodus material. However, he did say that he wouldn't not perform his Prince stuff from 1978 to early 1993. However, he did perform "I Love U in Me" and "7" with some covers.
Prince 20Ten was a concert tour performed by American recording artist Prince in 2010 to promote his 20Ten album. The tour was divided in two legs, the first set of shows were from July 4 to July 25. The tour kicked off in Denmark and took Prince to Germany, France, Belgium, Austria, and Portugal. Larry Graham and Mint Condition were supporting acts. He rehearsed them in Paisley Park Studios. The second leg was from October 15 to November 18. He played these dates with a slightly different band and no supporting acts. This leg of the tour took him to Norway, Denmark, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands. He also took the tour to the United Arab Emirates where he performed at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The Who Tour 1979 was The Who's first concert tour after the death of original drummer Keith Moon. The tour supported their 1978 album Who Are You, and consisted of concerts in Europe and the United States and acknowledged the band's return to live performance.
Welcome 2 was a concert tour by American recording artist Prince. Playing over 80 shows, the tour reached North America, Europe, and Australia. Each leg of the tour was branded with the "Welcome 2" title followed by the continent in which the leg was located. The tour marked the singer's first performances in North America in over six years. The show was composed of the singer performing his hits with his band The New Power Generation. Alongside Prince, various musicians performed including Janelle Monáe, Esperanza Spalding, and Cassandra Wilson. The tour placed 39th on Pollstar's "Top 50 Worldwide Tour", earning nearly $20 million.1
The Body Talk Tour is a concert tour by Swedish singer-songwriter Robyn. The tour was announced in conjunction with the release of her sixth studio album, Body Talk Pt. 2. Previously, Robyn toured the United States in the summer of 2010 with the All Hearts Tour. The tour began on October 7, 2010.
The Diamond Jubilee Concert was a British music concert and celebration held outside Buckingham Palace on The Mall in London on 4 June 2012. The concert was organised by Take That singer-songwriter Gary Barlow and was part of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
The Hit and Run Tour was a concert tour by American recording artist Prince and 3rdeyegirl. The tour consisted of three legs. The first was in the United Kingdom, the second in Europe, and the third in North America.
The Piano & a Microphone Tour was the final concert tour by American recording artist Prince. In a December 2015 interview in anticipation of the tour, he said that "I'm doing it to challenge myself, I won't know what songs I'm going to do when I go on stage. I won't have to, because I won't have a band". It was ultimately Prince's final tour due to his sudden death from a fentanyl overdose on April 21, 2016, one week after the last tour date.
The Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour was a concert tour performed by American musician and satirist "Weird Al" Yankovic. Intended to be a more intimate and less stylized production compared to his previous concert tours, the Vanity Tour focused on Yankovic's older material and original songs. The 76-date North American tour was announced in October 2017, and included 68 shows in the United States and eight shows in Canada. Following the conclusion of the tour, recordings of the entire tour were released on Stitcher Premium.
Pentatonix: The World Tour was the ninth concert tour by American a cappella group Pentatonix to promote their greatest hits. The tour began on May 11, 2019, in Oakland, and concluded on September 16, 2023, in Puyallup.
