Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jay Chou has embarked on eight concert tours since his debut in 2000. After releasing his second album Fantasy (2001), Chou promoted the release with his first concert tour, titled the Fantasy Tour. He embarked on his first worldwide tour later that year in September called the One World Tour, which spanned 16 shows across Asia and North America. His following tour, the Incomparable World Tour, ran from October 2004 and lasted until February 2006. During The World Tour, which began in November 2007, Chou set a record for the most-attended pop concert at the Shanghai Stadium with 60,000 people in attendance. [1]
The Opus Jay World Tour began in May 2013 and attracted a total of 1,800,000 people before concluding in December 2015, grossing NT$7.245 billion ($250 million) in revenue. His subsequent tour, The Invincible World Tour, began in June 2016 following the release of his fourteenth studio album Jay Chou's Bedtime Stores . It became his most expansive tour yet, spanning 120 concerts across Asia, North America, Europe, and Oceania, making him one of the few Mandopop acts to hold a tour exceeding 100 shows. It was attended by 3,000,000 people in total, making it amongst the most-attended tours by a Greater Chinese artist. [2]
The Carnival World Tour began in October 2019 and currently spans 92 shows across various continents. In mainland China, media outlets reported elevated economic activity and a significant increase in tourism in cities visited by the tour. Several cities have reported economic impacts even surpassing those of major public holidays such as May Day and the Dragon Boat Festival.
