A concert tour (or simply tour) is a series of concerts by an artist or group of artists in different cities, countries or locations. Often, concerttours are named to differentiate different tours by the same artist and to associate a specific tour with a particular album or product. Especially in the popular musicworld, such tours can become large-scale enterprises that last for several months or even years, are seen by hundreds of thousands or millions of people, and bring in millions of dollars in ticket revenues. A performer who embarks on a concert tour is called a touring artist.Different segments of longerconcerttours are known as "legs". The different legs of a tour are denoted in different ways, dependent on the artist and type of tour, but the most common means of separating legs are dates (especially if there is a long break at some point), countries and/or continents, or different opening acts. In the largest concerttours, it has become more common for different legs to employ separate touring production crews and equipment, local to each geographical region. Concerttours are often administered on the local level by concert promoters or by performing arts presenters. Usually, small concerttours are managed by a road manager whereas large concerttours are managed by a tour manager.
