Tour History


Definition

What is a tour ?
A tour is a series of six or more pre-announced concerts performed within a fairly limited period of time from one another, in at least four different venues/locations sharing the same theme, concept, basic setlist etcetera. Residencies (series of shows performed at one location) don;t qualify as a 'tour' per definition, but are also regarded tours for the purpose of this listing.
Three kinds of tours and residencies are taken in account:

  • Headlining: Prince and his band are the main feature of the tour (or residency).
  • Support act: Prince and his band perform a support set on a tour with someone else headlining.
  • Band member: Prince (with or without his band) is backing another (associated) act on tour.


Content
The below section is a chronology of Prince's tours over the past decades. One off gigs, promotional shows, showcases, public rehearsals, benefits, private concerts, etcetera are not attributed in this section as they don't fit the rules to be considered for inclusion. Aftershows and one off shows may have been performed during a tour, but fall out of the realm of being a show on the tour as they don't have the same stage set up, set list and are not a planned well in advance, with tickets on sale weeks or months ahead.

Disregarded as full-scaled tours are also the mini tours, such as the European mini Tour of 1981 (three dates) and the South-American mini tour of 1991 (also three dates). As well as the 'Welcome 2 Chicago' residency in 2012 (again only three shows). The 1986 so called 'Hit & Run' shows in the USA also fall outside the scope of what is regarded a tour as the dates were too far apart from one another (Nine shows over a period of exactly three months). Details about all these so called one-off shows can be found in the One-Off Appearances page.

Guest performances with other artists, Television Performances and Award Shows performances are categories of their own that are also listed separately.
For a complete scope of all performances made by Prince over the past decades, visit the All Concerts page.
