==Formats== ===Festivals=== {{Main|Music festival}} {{See|List of music festivals}} [[File:Donauinselfest.jpg|thumb|[[Donauinselfest]] is the world's largest music festival according to ''[[Guinness World Records]]'']] Concerts involving a greater number of artists, especially those that last for multiple days, are known as [[festivals]]. 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. New platforms for festivals are becoming increasingly popular such as Jam Cruise, which is a festival held on a cruise ship, as well as Mayan Holidaze, which is a destination festival held in [[Tulum]]. ===Tour=== {{Main|Concert tour}} [[File:Beyoncé - Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - 1st June 2023 (25 of 118) (52946287590).jpg|thumb|[[Beyoncé]] on her [[Renaissance World Tour]] at [[Tottenham Hotspur Stadium]] in [[London]] in 2023]] A concert tour is a series of concerts by an artist or group of artists in different cities, countries, 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 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, or the equivalent, in ticket revenues. ===Residency=== {{main|Concert residency}} [[File:Katy Perry Play at Resorts World, Las Vegas (51809222946).jpg|thumb|[[Katy Perry]] performing during [[Play (concert residency)| Play]]]] A concert residency<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2017/09/14/forget-vegas-new-york-city-has-become-the-new-go-to-city-for-concert-residencies/#13400f474962|title=Forget Vegas, New York City Has Become The New Go-To City For Concert Residencies|first=Hugh|last=McIntyre|website=forbes.com|access-date=4 December 2017}}</ref> or musical residency<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ew.com/music/2017/03/14/las-vegas-residencies-summer-2017/|title=Las Vegas Residencies: Here's Your Guide to Summer 2017|website=ew.com|access-date=4 December 2017}}</ref> is a series of live music concerts similar to a [[concert tour]], but only performed at one location. One will have fewer shows than a concert tour. Theaters generally serve as the venues for them. Concert residencies are usually associated with the city of [[Las Vegas]]. Bands and individuals might embark on one since it's easier than touring. Examples of concert residencies are [[Britney: Piece of Me]] and [[Play (concert residency)|Play]] by Britney Spears and Katy Perry, respectively.
