The 72_72291st Century War is still raging in the air, and before the second week of Billboard and the British pop charts have yet to be announced, people can't wait to focus on Glory to Death again, because the Glory to Death world tour is about to begin!

On the last day of the first week of October - that is, on October 6, the live country of the world tour of Glory to Death held a press conference to officially announce the launch of the Glory to Death global tour project, which attracted more than 150 reporters from 63 media outlets to the scene - and this was just a regular press conference for the tour, and the members of Honor to Death will not attend at all, which shows that the current media attention to the Glory to Death tour is Cheng dù.

At a press conference on the same day, the world tour of Glory to Death will be unveiled at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles on October 25 under the name of "Storm"! Ticket sales will start on October 18!

The tour, titled "Tempest", will be divided into three phases, each with subheadings.

The first phase of the subsidiary title, named "Sunshine," was completed in the United States, starting in Los Angeles and passing through twelve cities, including San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Denver, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and finally arriving in Chicago. This phase will last for two months and will feature a total of 21 performances.

The second phase will take a step towards the world, with the subtitle "Thunder and Lightning", starting in Rio de Janeiro in South America, passing through Buenos Aires, and then moving to Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne in Oceania; then to Johannesburg, Cape Town and Cairo in Africa; Then head into Europe, stopping in Madrid, Rome, Milan, Paris, Vienna, Budapest, Warsaw, Prague, Munich, Berlin, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Stockholm, Oslo, Amsterdam, Brussels, and other cities before arriving in Dublin and London.

After that, we will fly to Singapore for a tour of Asia, which will be in the middle of the tour. National incense. Stops in Hong Kong, Seoul (still known as the old name in 1996), and Tokyo before arriving in Honolulu (also known as Honolulu), came to an end.

This stage is also the most important part of the concert, which lasts three and a half months, stops in 31 cities, and is expected to hold 43 performances.

The third phase of the tour will return to North American soil once again, with the subtitle "D." o。 The tour will start in Toronto, pass through Montreal, return to the United States, and perform in Detroit, Atlanta, Miami, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and other cities, and finally return to New York, where it will end its long journey at Madison Square Garden. This phase will feature 16 performances in seven cities and is expected to last for three weeks.

According to the plan, the "Tempest" tour will end on April 26, 1997, and will last for more than half a year.

After the announcement of the entire tour plan of "Storm", the country immediately became the focus of discussion, and at the press conference, countless reporters asked everyone the most curious topic: What is the meaning of the name of the tour? Why are there subtitles at each stage of the tour, and what is the practical significance of that?

As the title of a world tour, "Storm" seems a bit unlucky, after all, most singers want their tour to be a good thing, not only in terms of attendance, but also in terms of a long tour journey, which can also be linked to the promotion of the tour, and "Stormy Rain", which is full of negative feelings, is definitely not the best choice. Obviously, it is not for nothing to make such a choice in Glory to Death.

However, the scene did not explain, but said, "This is the content that we have determined after careful consultation with Glory to Death, and all these titles are of practical significance, but the specific content still hopes that everyone will walk into the concert site to feel it, and I believe that Glory to Death will give everyone a surprise." ”

This also makes people look forward to the Glory to Death tour, but it is certain that the opening of tickets on October 18 is just around the corner, and when you think back to the pomp and circumstance of the last Glory to Death tour "Glory Road", and then link it to the scene of the battle of the century and the "Independence Day" when thousands of people empty the streets, people have reason to have great expectations for this opening of ticket sales.

It is also certain that the grand journey of this tour far exceeds the "Road of Glory", not only because the Glory to Death tour has covered 27 countries on five continents around the world, including remote areas in Africa, but also will reach major cities in Asia. And because of the venues arranged by the on-site country for glory to death this time, it can almost be said that all their venue resources have gathered.

In order to plan the "Stormy Rain" world tour of Glory to Death, the live country mobilized all the network resources, and even reached a cooperation agreement with AEG Group, renting many large stages under AEG Group - such as the last stop at Madison Garden Square in New York, all of them just hope to make this world tour truly reach the height of Glory to Death's current identity and popularity.

Among the concert venues announced by the live state is Letna Park, which can accommodate 125,000 people in Prague. Park), Amsterdam, which can accommodate 70,000 people. Arena), Melbourne, which can accommodate 100,000 people. cricket。 GROUND), the Parc des Princes (PARC) in Paris, which can accommodate 65,000 people. des。 Princes), the Olympic Stadium in Munich with a capacity of 85,000 people, and the Wembley Stadium in London with a capacity of 100,000 people......

Of all the tour venues, there are as many as five venues with more than 100,000 people, and 21 venues with 50,000 people - in other words, nearly half of the venues on this tour can accommodate 50,000 people. Although the scale of the On-site Nation cannot be compared to the huge plans of the AEG Group, the efforts of the On-Site Nation can also be seen.

One of the most shocking is not that the Scene Republic leased Madison Garden Plaza from AEG, and planned to demolish all the seats inside the garden, so that the venue that could accommodate 20,000 people became a rock and roll standing scene that could accommodate 100,000 people; Instead, Live Republic reached an agreement with AEG to let the Maracanã Stadium (ESTADIO. do。 maraa) became the venue for the Glory to Death tour.

The Maracanã Stadium, built by Brazil for the 1950 World Cup and used as the venue for the 1950 World Cup finals, created the "Maracanã Massacre" that caused a sensation for half a century - in the 1950 World Cup final, Uruguay defeated the host Brazil on this field to win the championship, leading many fans to commit suicide, becoming the darkest page in the history of Brazilian football.

Maracanã is widely regarded as the largest football stadium in the world, with a capacity of 200,000 people! In 1950, Uruguay silenced the memories of 200,000 Brazilians that still reverberate countless even half a century later.

The Maracanã has long been considered the "best in the world", and the Beatles set a Guinness record here when they called for 180,000 spectators at the Maracana, making it the most attended concert by a singer in the history of music, a record that no one has ever surpassed.

Just like the difference between a 100,000-person venue and a 10,000-person venue, the Maracanã, which can accommodate 200,000 people, and the 100,000-person venue are definitely not as simple as doubling the capacity, and there are even many singers who don't even have the courage to stand on the stage of a 100,000-person concert, let alone a Maracana.

So far, there are only a handful of singers who have been able to stand in Maracana, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Madonna, the Rolling Stones...... Any name that comes out is a name that will go down in history. Now, the on-site country has actually joined hands with AEG Group to promote the stage of glory to death, which is undoubtedly epoch-making.

Maracanã is like a peak that can never be crossed, and many people don't even have the courage to take on the challenge, and it is already the limit to be able to perform in a concert of 100,000 people in their lifetime. This is different from the 500 million or 600 million North American movie box office, which is like the 1.6 billion North American box office achieved by "Gone with the Wind" in consideration of inflation.

So, when people found out that the Glory to Death tour would actually be staged at the Maracana - and it was the first stop after Glory to Death left North America, everyone was boiling in an instant!

Many people think that the live country has used too much force this time, and although the glory to death is huge, the 100,000-person concert is already their limit, and they have not yet reached the height of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones as a cultural indicator back then, and it is a stupid choice to challenge the Maracana, and it can even be said to be a self-inflicted choice. They all expressed concern about the sale of tickets at the Maracanã.

Not only Maracana, but also those venues that can accommodate 100,000 people, and there are definitely no more than 20 singers in the world who hold concerts in 100,000 venues today.

Although Live Country is not as good as AEG Group in terms of venue resources, it is undeniable that Live Country is clearly determined to win this concert of glory to death, and they even successfully persuaded their competitor AEG Group to finally reach a number of important cooperation, all of which aim to make the "Stormy" world tour a classic. The Live Nation apparently planned the Glory to Death on a level with Michael Jackson - and even more in anticipation, planning the entire trip as if it were the top of the best in the world today.

So, can the ability to pull concert tickets from 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 stadiums led by the Maracana?
