Types of concert
Theatrical
Some performers or groups put on very elaborate and expensive shows. In order
to create a memorable and exciting atmosphere and increase the spectacle, the
artist will frequently include additional entertainment devices within their
concerts.
Festivals
Concerts involving a greater number of artists, especially those that last for
multiple days, are known asfestivals. Unlike other concerts, which typically
remain in a single genre of music or work of a particular artist, festivals often
cover a broad scope of music and arts. Due to their size, festivals are almost
exclusively held outdoors.
Concert tour
A concert tour is a series of concerts by an artist or group of artists in different
cities or locations. Often concert tours are named, to differentiate different tours
by the same artist and associate a specific tour with a particular album or
product. Especially in the popular music world, such tours can become largescale 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 (or
the equivalent) in ticket revenues.
