Chapter 1644 1644 World Tour
The upsurge of the Battle of the Century is still surging in the air, and the second week of the Billboard and the British pop music charts has not been announced, and people's eyes can't wait to focus on the glory of death again, because the world of glory to death The tour is about to begin!
At the sensational price that made history, the country held a press conference on the last day of the first week of October—that is, on October 6, officially announcing the launch of the global tour of Glory to Death. , that day attracted more than 150 reporters from 63 media to conduct interviews at the scene - and this is just a routine press conference for the tour, and the members of Glory to the Dead will not attend at all. The level of attention for the Glory to the Dead tour.
Live Nation announced at the press conference on the same day that the world tour concert of Glory to Death, under the name of "Storm", will be unveiled at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles on October 25th! Ticket sales will officially start on October 18!
The tour, titled "Rainstorm," will be divided into three stages, each with a subtitle.
The affiliated title of the first phase is named "Sunshine" and is completed within the United States, starting in Los Angeles and passing through San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Denver, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Phoenix and ten other cities. The two cities, finally reaching Chicago, declared the end. This phase will last for two months and hold a total of twenty-one performances.
The second phase will take the pace of the world, the subtitle of this phase is named "Thunderbolt", starting from Rio de Janeiro in South America, after passing through Buenos Aires, to Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne in Oceania ; then to Johannesburg, Cape Town and Cairo in Africa; then into Europe, in Madrid, Rome, Milan, Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Warsaw, Prague, Munich, Berlin, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Stockholm, Oslo, Amsterdam, Brussels, etc. City stay, ending in Dublin and London.
Then fly to Singapore to start a tour of Asia, and the tour will be in the middle. National fragrance. Hong Kong, Seoul (still using the old name in 1996), Tokyo, and finally to Honolulu (also known as Honolulu), the end.
This stage is also the most important part of the concert, which lasted for three and a half months, stayed in 31 cities, and is expected to hold 43 performances.
The third stage of the tour will return to North America again, and the subtitle is named "D.O.G". The tour will start from Toronto, pass through Montreal, and return to the United States, in Detroit, Atlanta, Miami, Washington, Philadelphia and other cities Start the show, and finally return to New York to end the entire long journey in Madison Square Garden. This phase will feature sixteen shows in seven cities, with an estimated duration of three weeks.
According to the plan, the tour of "Rainstorm" will end on April 26, 1997, and it will last for more than half a year.
After the live country announced the entire tour plan of "Rainstorm", it immediately became the focus of discussion. At the press conference, countless reporters asked the most curious topic of everyone: What is the meaning of the tour name? Why does each stage of the tour have subtitles, and what's the practical point?
As the title of a world tour, "Wind and Rain" seems a bit unlucky. After all, most singers hope that their tour will go well, not only the attendance rate, but also the long tour, and you can also contact the tour promotion. Above, and a word full of negative emotions such as "stormy" is definitely not the best choice. Obviously, Glory to Death made such a choice is definitely not aimless.
However, the live kingdom did not explain, but said, "This is the content that we have determined after careful consultation with Glory to Death. All these titles are of practical significance, but the specific content still hopes that everyone will go to the concert site. Feel, I believe that the glory of death will give everyone a surprise."
This has also made people full of expectations for the tour of Glory to the Dead, but what is certain is that the opening day of the ticket sales on October 18 is very close at hand. Recalling the last tour of Glory to the Dead "Road to Glory" ticket sales The grand occasion of the time, and then linked to the battle of the century and the crowded scene of "Independence Day", people have reason to have great expectations for the opening of this ticket sale.
It is also certain that the grandness of this tour far exceeds the "Road to Glory", not only because the tour of Glory to Death has spread across 27 countries on five continents, including remote areas in Africa. It will also arrive in major cities in Asia. It is conceivable how grand the influence of this tour will be. For those areas where the influence of Glory to Death has not reached, how will the ticket sales and attendance will be? It is a problem. ; and also because the venues arranged by the live kingdom for Glory to the Dead this time can almost be said to have gathered all their venue resources.
In order to plan the glorious world tour of "Rainstorm", the live country mobilized all network resources, and even reached a cooperation agreement with AEG Group and leased many large-scale stages under AEG Group - such as the last stop in New York Madison Square Garden, all in the hope that this world tour will truly reach the heights of its current status and popularity.
Among the concert venues announced by the live state, including Prague's Letna Park (Letna. Park), which can accommodate 125,000 people, Amsterdam's Amsterdam Stadium (Amsterdam. Arena), which can accommodate 70,000 people, and Melbourne can accommodate The Melbourne Cricket Ground (Melbourne. Cricket. Ground), which can accommodate 100,000 people, the Parc. Des. Princes, which can accommodate 65,000 people in Paris, the Olympic Stadium that can accommodate 85,000 people in Munich, and the Olympic Stadium that can accommodate 85,000 people in London. Wembley Stadium for 100,000 people...
Looking at all the tour venues, there are as many as five venues with more than 100,000 people, and there are more than 21 venues with 50,000 people. In other words, nearly half of the venues on this tour are acceptable. accommodate 50,000 people. Although the scale of the live country is naturally not comparable to the huge plan of the AEG Group, the efforts of the live country can also be seen.
The most shocking of them all is not that the live country leased Madison Square Garden from AEG, and plans to demolish all the seats in the garden, so that the venue that can accommodate 20,000 people will become a rock stand-up scene that can accommodate 100,000 people. ; But the live country and AEG reached an agreement to make the Maracana Stadium (Estadio. Do. Maracana) become the venue of the glory to the death tour.
Maracana Stadium, this stadium was built by Brazil for the 1950 World Cup, and was used as the venue for the 1950 World Cup final, creating the sensational "Maracana Massacre" for half a century - in the 1950 World Cup final Uruguay defeated the host Brazil on this venue to win the championship, leading to the suicide of many fans and becoming the darkest page in the history of Brazilian football.
Maracana is widely recognized as the largest football stadium in the world, with a capacity for 200,000 people! In 1950, Uruguay left 200,000 Brazilians with silent memories, which still shocks countless people even half a century later.
For a long time, Maracana has been regarded as "the most in the world". The Beatles once created a Guinness record here-they called for 180,000 spectators to participate in the concert in Maracana, becoming The most attended concert by a singer in the history of music, a record that no one has ever surpassed.
It's like there is a huge difference between a venue of 100,000 people and a venue of 10,000 people. The Maracanã and the venue of 100,000 people, which can accommodate 200,000 people, are definitely not just as simple as doubling the capacity. There are even many singers standing together. I don't have the courage to be on the stage of a concert of 100,000 people, let alone the Maracana.
So far, there are only a handful of singers who have this qualification to stand on the Maracana. Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Madonna, the Rolling Stones... Any name is taken out, and it is an existence that is famous in history. Now, the live country actually teamed up with AEG Group to promote the stage of glory to death, which is undoubtedly an epoch-making.
Maracana is like a peak that can never be crossed. Many people don't even have the courage to challenge. It is the limit to show their talents in a concert of 100,000 people in a lifetime. This is different from the 500 million and 600 million North American movie box office. This is like the 1.6 billion North American box office obtained by "Gone with the Wind" considering inflation, and it can only be looked up to.
So, when it was discovered that the Glory to Death tour was actually going to be staged in the Maracanã—and that it was the first stop since Glory to Death left North America, everyone boiled over!
Many people think that the live country has used too much force this time. Although Glory to Death is huge, the concert of 100,000 people is already their limit. At present, they have not reached the point where the Beatles and the Rolling Stones became a kind of culture. The height of the indicator, challenging the Maracana is a stupid choice, even a self-defeating choice. They all expressed concern about ticket sales in the Maracanã.
Not only Maracana, but also those venues that can accommodate 100,000 people. Today, there are no more than 20 singers who hold concerts in 100,000 venues around the world. Glory to Death can be regarded as one of them. ?
Although Live Kingdom is not as good as AEG Group in terms of venue resources, it is undeniable that Live Kingdom is clearly determined to win the concert to the death of glory this time. They even successfully persuaded their competitor AEG Group, and finally reached a lot of This important cooperation, everything is aimed at making the "Rainstorm" world tour a classic. The Live Nation clearly planned to be on the same level as Michael Jackson - and even had more expectations, and completely planned the entire itinerary as the top of the world's top. .
So, can the ticket-pulling ability of Glory to Death really match their music sales ability? Can the sweeping momentum of Glory to Death in North America really continue in the mega venues led by the Maracana?
