Joker Xue concert chronology

The Extraterrestrial World Tour is the third concert tour and second world tour by Chinese singer-songwriter Joker Xue. The Extraterrestrial World Tour spans a record-breaking 145 shows across four continents with 133 in Asia, 2 in Europe, 5 in North America, and 4 in Oceania. As of July 2024, tour attendance is approximately 4,900,000, making it among the most-attended concert tours of all-time.[1]

Background

On July 13, 2021, Xue announced the tour by posting the Extraterrestrial World Tour poster on Weibo.[2] On July 24, at the Chaole Music Festival, Xue shared the tour is both a concert and a story with a lot of "silly plotlines" that should be "extremely fun."[3] Extraterrestrial World Tour opened in October 2021 with two shows in Suzhou followed by two shows in Guangzhou the next month. In 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of the announced dates were postponed[4] and only the Haikou concert was successfully held on December 24, 2022.[5] In March 2023, the tour resumed and for the rest of the tour, Xue mostly maintained the pace of one stop per week and frequently with several shows per stop.

Xue strives to lessen the burden of travelling to concerts for his fans, promising to meet them "in their hometowns" because his principle is "if I take one more step, you will take one fewer step".[6][7] In 2023, Extraterrestrial World Tour was listed as one of the tours with the most number of stops.[8] Xue performed in 30 of China's 34 provinces with a finale of 18 shows, 6 shows each at 3 stops in different regions of China: northern (Beijing), southern (Shenzhen), and central (Suzhou).[9]

On October 15, Xue announced on his Weibo that he is extending the tour with seven "Overseas Returned" stadium shows, with the same stage design and setlist as his shows in China, so his overseas fans can have the complete experience; the first four stops are Kuala Lumpur, Sydney, Bangkok, and Singapore.[10] He is the first mainland China artist to hold an international stadium tour.[11]

Concert synopsis

The Extraterrestrial World Tour is both a concert and a story.[3] In it, Xue transforms into an interstellar executive, codename 0717, who was ordered to destroy Earth. However, through interactions with the fans during the concert, 0717 is moved by the goodness of humans and chooses to sacrifice himself to save them. The concert is interspersed with jokes and the pre-recorded videos are filmed in a comedic manner, showcasing his "zany brand of humour."[12]

Each concert consists of five acts, with pre-recorded videos and talking segments where Xue interacts with different audience members, making them active participants in the story.[13] Throughout the concert, positive messaging about treating each other with kindness and improving our world one small act at a time is conveyed.[14]

Pre-recorded video 1 introduces the "Regulations on the Joint Protection of Space Creatures," which Earth has violated. Interstellar Executive 0717 arrives on Earth with the mission to destroy it, portrayed through "Extraterrestrial" (天外来物) and "The Return of the Prince" (王子归来). In talking segment 1, 0717 questions the audience about buying scalped tickets, previously condemned by Xue.[15] Pre-recorded video 2 reveals 0717 must take three Earth species back to Interstellar Headquarters. Human selfishness in escaping is highlighted through "Animal World" (动物世界). In talking segment 2, 0717 discusses the phenomenon 碰瓷 (faking injuries for compensation), urging the audience to believe in people's good intentions. He and the dancers wear gray wigs, portraying elderly women who fall on stage. The audience sings "Actor" (演员) in unison to help them back up, moving 0717 with this selfless act.

In pre-recorded video 3, 0717, confused by his emotions towards humans, travels back to Xue's 2017 tour through a "Medley" (组曲串烧) of over 15 songs. He realizes he was once human and has been to Earth before. A special guest performs a duet with 0717 and presents a necklace as proof of his past. In Pre-recorded Video 4, Interstellar Headquarters, impatient with 0717's progress, sends forces to destroy Earth. 0717 negotiates a delay, expressing his belief in human potential through "Turn Waste Into Treasure" (变废为宝), but Headquarters is unmoved. 0717 sacrifices himself to protect Earth, saying goodbye with "Wandering With You" (陪你去流浪). The audience calls Xue back, who returns with "It's Been So Long" (这么久没见), acknowledges the band and crew, summarizes the story, and bids farewell with "Extraterrestrial" (天外来物).

Due to time constraint and stage setup, international shows from November 2023 to March 2024 do not have special guests. The setlist and talking segments are also reduced. The seven additional international shows beginning in November 2024, however, will be held at stadiums like his shows in China and performed in full. One of the running jokes for Xue's concerts is the "refund" meme that's become a highlight. Anytime Xue says a wrong word, sings the wrong lyrics, or, on one memorable occasion, burps, the audience cheerfully shouts for a "refund" in response.[16]

Stage design

The Extraterrestrial World Tour incorporates the use of a large spaceship above the stage is essential for the interstellar space theme. Before each concert, the production team uses 40 18-meter vans to load and transport parts then works continuously for 8 days using multiple cranes to lift the 30-ton spaceship to a height of 30 meters. Due to the time required for assembly and the weekly tour schedule, two sets of spaceship are used, alternating between tour stops.[17] In addition, there are several other pieces that are central to storytelling, such as the 9-meter-high "Towers of Desire" in the first act, the "Carousel" in the third act that transport 0717 back in time, and the "Highwire Walking" (with harness) in the fourth act that symbolizes changes in 0717's emotional state before exiting in a space pod.[14][18][19]

The stage is equipped with more than 2,000 lights, 28 sets of LED screens totaling 2,200 square meters, 21 sets of lifting platforms, and 250 computer numerical control motors.[20] By integrating multi-tired lighting within the structure of the spaceship and flanking the movable LED screens with vertical lighting, it creates a dynamic setting for 0717's story.[13] The lighting design has been recognized by LIT Lighting Design Awards, MUSE Design Awards and Novum Design Awards.[21][22][23] The light sticks used by the audience are made of degradable and recyclable materials, in keeping with the theme of the story.[14][13]

Outdoor stadiums venues, consisting of a large area that's split into floor and balcony sections, pose the challenge of how to provide high-quality experience for everyone.[24] To overcome this, the "Extraterrestrial World Tour" sound design team installs a variety of L-Acoustics speakers around the stadium, including but not limited to K1, K2, Kara, K1-SB, and KS28.[25] Since the Suzhou shows in 2021, the Extraterrestrial World Tour has utilized delay towers to reinforce the main sound system and ensure all audience members have the same sound quality in one of the earliest large-scale use of delay towers in China.[24] The stage return system is made up of 22 L-Acoustics' 115XT HiQs, 4 ARCS IIs, and 4 KS28s while the PA console uses DiGiCo's Quantum 7.[25]

Commercial performance

A vehicle drove towards the Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre, which the banner says "How did you know I am going to the concert by Joker Xue" at the rear (15 August 2024)

In 2021, Xue was first in comprehensive ranking of concert box office and number of shows of all 2021 tours in China.[26] In 2023, Xue ranked first in artist with highest number of concerts and second in artist with most number of stops among all 2023 tours in China.[8]

Many of the Chinese cities he toured in were categorized by Chinese city tier system as second- and third- tier cities, where he is often the first artist to hold a concert and in doing so, provide a significant boost to the local economy.[27] In 2023, more than 50,000 people attended Xue's concerts in Quzhou, a third-tiered city, and generated 124 million of cumulative tourism revenue, resulting in Quzhou ranking first in cities with the fastest box office growth in 2023.[28][27] In 2024, Quzhou's News Media Center posted a video on its official Douyin account expressing their gratitude to Xue.[29]

Xue's international stops were also successful. Both of his Kuala Lumpur and Singapore stops had three consecutive shows due to overwhelming demand as originally only one show was announced then a second show was added when the first sold out quickly then a third show was added when the second also sold out quickly.[30][31] The total gross for the New York and Las Vegas stops was $5.8 million with the total attendance of 21,100, placing Xue at 23 on Billboard's February 2024 Top Tours list.[32] On December 2, after the "Overseas Returned" Singapore show sold out, a second show was added.[33]

In June 2023, Hainan Airlines collaborated Chaoshi Music to create exclusive flights for the Extraterrestrial World Tour on a customized plane featuring the concert poster painted on the exterior and details such as lyrics from Xue's songs on the interior for an immersive experience.[27] In July, the Extraterrestrial flights were named one of the “Top 50 Brand Marketing Cases” at the Top 100 Brands Awards Ceremony, hosted by Sina Finance and organized by China Brand Innovation Lab and Midu.[34]
