A concert tour (or simply 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 to 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 in ticket revenues. A performer who embarks on a concert tour is called a touring artist .
63-554: The Maniac World Tour , officially Stray Kids 2nd World Tour "Maniac" , was the second concert tour by South Korean boy band Stray Kids in support of their 2022 extended plays Oddinary , Circus and Maxident and 2023 album The Sound . The group played 42 shows across Asia, North America, and Australia. The tour began at Jamsil Arena in Seoul on April 29, 2022, and concluded at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on April 2, 2023. It
126-416: A fungicide . The effects of some drugs can be measured by examining their effects on a spider's web-building. In northeastern Nigeria , cow horn resonators in traditional xylophones often have holes covered with spider webs to create a buzzing sound. Spider web strands have been used for crosshairs or reticles in telescopes. Development of technologies to mass-produce spider silk has led to
189-439: A live band . The group then showcased the sub-unit songs from Oddinary . Bang Chan, Lee Know, Seungmin, and I.N performed "Waiting for Us" in pastel outfits with a stand microphone covered in flowers. Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, and Felix sang "Muddy Water" in black leather jackets. In the show's final segment, the members were in white tweed jackets to perform "Silent Cry", "Hellevator", "Double Knot", " Top " and "Victory Song". For
252-463: A road manager whereas large concert tours are managed by a tour manager . The main challenge in concert tours is how to move the performance's logistics from one venue to another venue, especially for a transcontinental tour. Tour logistics should be very organized and everything has to happen on time and in the right order as planned. Autoweek magazine estimated 30 to 50 trucks were required by Taylor Swift 's The 1989 World Tour to bring all
315-497: A common image in tattoo art, often symbolizing long periods of time spent in prison, or used simply to fill gaps between other images. Some observers believe that a small spider is depicted on the United States one-dollar bill , in the upper-right corner of the front side ( obverse ), perched on the shield surrounding the number "1". This perception is enhanced by the resemblance of the background image of intertwining fine lines to
378-434: A day, Arabella spun the first web in the experimental cage, although it was initially incomplete. The web was completed the following day. The crew members were prompted to expand the initial protocol. They fed and watered the spiders, giving them a house fly. The first web was removed on August 13 to allow the spider to construct a second web. At first, the spider failed to construct a new web. When given more water, it built
441-407: A fine adhesive thread to drift on a faint breeze across a gap. When it sticks to a surface at the far end, the spider feels the change in the vibration. The spider reels in and tightens the first strand, then carefully walks along it and strengthens it with a second thread. This process is repeated until the thread is strong enough to support the rest of the web. After strengthening the first thread,
504-544: A horizontal plane (sheet webs), or at any angle in between. It is hypothesized that these types of aerial webs co-evolved with the evolution of winged insects. As insects are spiders' main prey, it is likely that they would impose strong selectional forces on the foraging behavior of spiders. Most commonly found in the sheet-web spider families, some webs will have loose, irregular tangles of silk above them. These tangled obstacle courses serve to disorient and knock down flying insects, making them more vulnerable to being trapped on
567-563: A later date. On March 28, the group announced that the Seoul shows would be held at Jamsil Indoor Stadium , adding an additional date in Seoul on April 29, and that the last day of the Seoul shows would be broadcast online via Beyond Live. On April 15, venues in Japan were announced. Additionally, the June 18 and July 27 shows were confirmed to be broadcast at movie theaters in Japan through Live Viewing Japan on

On August 5, Stray Kids announced two additional Seoul shows, titled Stray Kids 2nd World Tour "Maniac" Seoul Special (Unveil 11). They were scheduled for September 17 and 18 at KSPO Dome . Songs from their upcoming EP Maxident —"3Racha", "Taste", "Can't Stop", "Circus" (Korean version)—were performed for
693-805: A new form of theatrical entertainment, a fusion of song, performance art, innovative stage craft, and state-of-the-art technology. She managed to popularize the Las Vegas residency as a desirable way for top artists to essentially tour in place, letting their fans come to them. American singer Lady Gaga , who cancelled the 2018 European leg of her Joanne World Tour , signed for a Las Vegas residency to help manage her fibromyalgia illness, which can be exacerbated by touring. The 2015 study by charity Help Musicians found that over 60% of musicians suffered from depression or other psychological issues, with touring an issue for 71% of respondents.

The first occurred in Santo Antônio da Platina , Paraná , in 2013, and involved Anelosimus eximius individuals; the second was registered in Espírito Santo do Dourado , Minas Gerais , in January 2019, and involved Parawixia bistriata individuals. It has been observed that being in Earth's orbit has an effect on
819-451: A promotional campaign to support an album release. Hence, new songs from the respective album are included on its tour's setlist . Some tours are known as "greatest hits tours" or "reunion tour" without any new material or specific album release, such as Fleetwood Mac 's 2009 Unleashed tour and No Doubt 's 2009 Summer Tour . Taylor Swift 's The Eras Tour (2023–2024) is a retrospective of her career to that point, where each act of

The oils on their bodies keep them from sticking to their own webs. However these energy savings are somewhat offset by the fact that constructing the web is in itself energetically costly, due to the large amount of protein required in
1008-412: A stylized spider web. However, other observers believe the figure is an owl. The World Wide Web is thus named because of its tangled and interlaced structure, said to resemble that of a spider web. Artificial spider webs are used by the superhero Spider-Man to restrain enemies and to make ropes on which to swing between buildings as quick transportation. Some incarnations of the character, such as

Different types of spider webs include: Several different types of silk may be used in web construction, including a " sticky " capture silk and "fluffy" capture silk, depending on the type of spider. Webs may be in a vertical plane (most orb webs),

Due to the collapse of record sales in the 21st century, concert tours have become a major source of income for recording artists. Besides the tickets, touring also generates money from the sales of merchandise and meet-and-greet packages. However,

A concert residency concept is offered as an alternative to performers who just need to stay in one venue and the fans come to see them. The concept has been revitalized in the 21st century by Canadian superstar Céline Dion with the success of her A New Day... residency (2003–2007). Her residency introduced

#17328731303771386-527: Is typically used to refer to a web that is apparently still in use (i.e., clean), whereas "cobweb" refers to a seemingly abandoned (i.e., dusty) web. However, the word "cobweb" is also used by biologists to describe the tangled three-dimensional web of some spiders of the family Theridiidae . While this large family is known as the cobweb spiders , they actually have a huge range of web architectures; other names for this spider family include tangle-web spiders and comb-footed spiders . When spiders moved from
1449-483: The encore , the group appeared in shirts with "Maniac" on them. The first song was different each day—"Astronaut" on day one, "My Pace" on day two, and "Ta" on day three—followed by "Miroh", "Star Lost", and "Haven" to end the show. Todd Inoue of San Francisco Chronicle praised the concert in Oakland as "a glorious evening of reconnection and restoration," comparing the spider motif onstage to David Bowie 's 1987 Glass Spider Tour . Writing for NME , Rhian Daly gave
1512-622: The 16th century in a remote valley of the Austrian Tyrolean Alps , were created on fabrics consisting of layered and wound cobwebs, stretched over cardboard to make a mat, and strengthened by brushing with milk diluted in water. A small brush was then used to apply watercolor to the cobwebs, or custom tools to create engravings. Fewer than a hundred cobweb paintings survive today, most of which are held in private collections. In traditional European medicine, cobwebs were used on wounds and cuts to reduce bleeding and aid healing. This use
1575-509: The 2010 monsoon drove spiders above the waterline, into trees. The result was trees covered with spider webs. One such web, reported in 2007 at Lake Tawakoni State Park in Texas , measured 200 yards (180 m) across. Entomologists believe it may be the result of social cobweb spiders or of spiders building webs to spread out from one another. There is no consensus on how common this occurrence is. In Brazil, there have been two instances of

On July 3, JYP Entertainment announced that members Lee Know, Felix, and I.N, tested positive for COVID-19 , causing the shows on July 3 and 6 to be postponed. Prior to the start of the July 12 show, the Oakland Police Department confirmed on Twitter their awareness of threats concerning the group and announced that additional police officers would be present. On July 14, JYP announced that Hyunjin sustained
1764-611: The aerial webs that are familiar today. Spiders produce silk from their spinneret glands located at the tip of their abdomen . Each gland produces a thread for a special purpose – for example a trailed safety line, sticky silk for trapping prey or fine silk for wrapping it. Spiders use different gland types to produce different silks, and some spiders are capable of producing up to eight different silks during their lifetime. Most spiders have three pairs of spinnerets, each having its own function – there are also spiders with just one pair and others with as many as four pairs. Webs allow
1827-524: The archaic word coppe , meaning 'spider') is a structure created by a spider out of proteinaceous spider silk extruded from its spinnerets , generally meant to catch its prey . Spider webs have existed for at least 100 million years, as witnessed in a rare find of Early Cretaceous amber from Sussex , in southern England . Many spiders build webs specifically to trap and catch insects to eat. However, not all spiders catch their prey in webs, and some do not build webs at all. The term "spider web"
1890-416: The capture silk soft and tacky. The glue balls are multifunctional – that is, their behavior depends on how quickly something touching a glue ball attempts to withdraw. At high velocities, they function as an elastic solid, resembling rubber; at lower velocities, they simply act as a sticky glue. This allows them to retain a grip on attached food particles. The web is electrically conductive which causes
1953-500: The concert five out of five stars for the first day of Anaheim shows, describing it is "anything but ordinary". Crystal Bell of Teen Vogue called the group's performances "electrifying" and "relentlessly hype", stating that the group's presence "ignited entire arenas, no words needed". Writing for Sanook.com , Jurairat N. praised the concert as "the best K-pop show in Thailand in 2023 so far". The AU Review ' s Anastasia Giggins gave

On September 29, Stray Kids announced eleven shows in 2023 in Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, and Atlanta and Fort Worth (whose original shows were postponed in July due to positive COVID-19 cases). On October 4, Stray Kids added two Melbourne and Sydney shows due to popular demand. On November 4, they announced
2142-400: The form of silk. In addition, after a time the silk will lose its stickiness and thus become inefficient at capturing prey. It is common for spiders to eat their own web daily to recoup some of the energy used in spinning. Through ingestion and digestion, the silk proteins are thus recycled.Due to the incredible strength of spider silk, scientists are currently studying it in the hope of creating
2205-521: The giant webs function as extended and reconfigurable auditory sensors. Not all use their webs for capturing prey directly, instead pouncing from concealment (e.g. trapdoor spiders ) or running them down in open chase (e.g. wolf spiders ). The net-casting spider balances the two methods of running and web spinning in its feeding habits. This spider weaves a small net which it attaches to its front legs. It then lurks in wait for potential prey and, when such prey arrives, lunges forward to wrap its victim in
2268-583: The impact and struggle of a prey animal by vibrations transmitted through the web. A spider positioned in the middle of the web makes for a highly visible prey for birds and other predators, even without web decorations ; many day-hunting orb-web spinners reduce this risk by hiding at the edge of the web with one foot on a signal line from the hub or by appearing to be inedible or unappetizing. Spiders do not usually adhere to their own webs, because they are able to spin both sticky and non-sticky types of silk, and are careful to travel across only non-sticky portions of
2331-407: The initial radiating lines as well as the non-sticky spirals as guide lines. The spaces between each spiral and the next are directly proportional to the distance from the tip of its back legs to its spinners. This is one way the spider uses its own body as a measuring/spacing device. While the sticky spirals are formed, the non-adhesive spirals are removed as there is no need for them any more. After
2394-476: The manufacturing of prototype military protection, wound dressings and other medical devices , and consumer goods . Spider webs can be used as a single step catalyst to make nanoparticles . The stickiness of spiders' webs is due to droplets of glue suspended on the silk threads. Orb-weaver spiders, e.g. Larinioides cornutus , coat their threads with a hygroscopic aggregate. The glue's moisture absorbing properties use environmental humidity to keep
2457-449: The net, bite and paralyze it. Hence, this spider expends less energy catching prey than a primitive hunter such as the wolf spider. It also avoids the energy loss of weaving a large orb web. Many species also spin threads of silk to catch the wind and then sail on the wind to a new location. Others manage to use the signaling-snare technique of a web without spinning a web at all. Several types of water-dwelling spiders rest their feet on
2520-402: The process of making an orb web, the spider will use its own body for measurements. There is variation in web construction among orb-weaving spiders, in particular, the species Zygiella x-notata is known for its characteristic missing sector web crossed by a single signal thread. Many webs span gaps between objects which the spider could not cross by crawling. This is done by first producing
2583-420: The radials are complete, the spider fortifies the center of the web with about five circular threads. It makes a spiral of non-sticky, widely spaced threads to enable it to move easily around its own web during construction, working from the inside outward. Then, beginning from the outside and moving inward, the spider methodically replaces this spiral with a more closely spaced one made of adhesive threads. It uses

2646-406: The retirement of a singer, the disbanding of a band, or the end of a show's run. Many of the tours end up not being the last tour, with frequent regroupings, or revivals of shows. Luciano Pavarotti 's 2004 tour and Kenny Rogers 's 2015–2017 tour are examples of farewell tours which were the last to be staged before their deaths. As of October 2024, the highest-grossing concert tour of all time

Its microstructure is under investigation for potential applications in industry, including bullet-proof vests and artificial tendons . Researchers have used genetically modified mammals and bacteria to produce the proteins needed to make this material. Occasionally, a group of spiders may build webs together in the same area. Massive flooding in Pakistan during

Neurotoxins have been detected in the glue balls of some spider webs. Presumably these toxins help immobilize prey, but their function could also be antimicrobial , or protection from ants or other animals that steal from the webs or might attack the spider. Spider silk has greater tensile strength than
2898-422: The spider continues to make a Y-shaped netting. The first three radials of the web are now constructed. More radials are added, making sure that the distance between each radial and the next is small enough to cross. This means that the number of radials in a web directly depends on the size of the spider plus the size of the web. It is common for a web to be about 20 times the size of the spider building it. After
2961-417: The spider has completed its web, it chews off the initial three center spiral threads then sits and waits, usually with the head facing downwards. If the web is broken without any structural damage during the construction, the spider does not make any initial attempts to rectify the problem. The spider, after spinning its web, then waits on or near the web for a prey animal to become trapped. The spider senses
3024-513: The stage, sound equipment, instruments, props, and clothes. When Beyoncé visited the United Kingdom with her 2016 The Formation World Tour , it took seven Boeing 747 air freighters and a fleet of more than 70 trucks to get her stage set and other gear to the venues. The logistics phase of that tour did not include transportation of the backstage staff, musicians, performers, and the singer herself. The majority of concert tours are part of

Spider webs were spun in low Earth orbit in 1973 aboard Skylab , involving two female European garden spiders (cross spiders) called Arabella and Anita, as part of an experiment on the Skylab 3 mission. The aim of the experiment was to test whether the two spiders would spin webs in space, and, if so, whether these webs would be the same as those that spiders produced on Earth. The experiment
3150-494: The touring business suffered in the early 2020s because of the COVID-19 pandemic . Pollstar estimated the total lost revenue for the industry in 2020 at more than $ 30 billion. The mobility of concert tours requires a lot of costs, time, and energy. It is very common for musicians to not see family members for over a year during their touring. British singer Adele expressed her unhappiness of concert tours, saying "Touring
3213-771: The two Manila shows for March 11 and 12, 2023, and encore shows in Saitama and Osaka in February and Los Angeles in April. The video album for Maniac World Tour shows in Seoul was released on DVD on August 8, 2023, and Blu-ray on August 31, and the encore shows in Japan on February 7, 2024. The concert began with the overture "SKZ Anthem". Afterward, Stray Kids appeared onstage in black costumes and spider web -like silver accessories to perform six songs: " Maniac ", "Venom", "Red Lights", "Easy", "All In" (Korean version), and "District 9". "Red Lights", initially recorded by Bang Chan and Hyunjin,

The notable tensile strength of spider webs is often exaggerated in science fiction, often as a plot device to justify the presence of artificially giant spiders. Posters used by the women at Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp often featured the symbol of a spider web, meant to symbolise

These are organs that produce silk with which the spiders spin webs (although some use the silk to catch their prey in other ways). Spiders gradually started using silk for hunting purposes, first as guide lines and signal lines, then as ground or bush webs, and eventually as

When an insect falls onto the water and is ensnared by surface tension , the spider can detect the vibrations and run out to capture the prey. The diving bell spider and Desis marina , an intertidal species, use their web to trap air under water, where they can stay submerged long periods of time. Cobweb paintings , which began during

It is reported that several Nephila pilipes individuals can collectively construct an aggregated web system to counter bird predation from all directions. Most orb weavers construct webs in a vertical plane, although there are exceptions, such as Uloborus diversus , which builds a horizontal web. During
3528-417: The web. Additionally, while the webs were finer overall, the space web had variations in thickness in places: some places were slightly thinner, and others slightly thicker. This was unusual, because Earth webs have been observed to have uniform thickness. Later experiments indicated that having access to a light source could orient the spiders and enable them to build their normal asymmetric webs when gravity
3591-554: The web. However, they are not immune to their own glue. Some of the strands of the web are sticky, and others are not. For example, if a spider has chosen to wait along the outer edges of its web, it may spin a non-sticky prey or signal line to the web hub to monitor web movement. However, in the course of spinning sticky strands, spiders have to touch these sticky strands. They do this without sticking by using careful movements, dense hairs and nonstick coatings on their feet to prevent adhesion. Some spiders use their webs for hearing, where

After the launch on July 28, 1973, and entering Skylab, the spiders were released by astronaut Owen Garriott into a box that resembled a window frame. The spiders proceeded to construct their web while a camera took photographs and examined the spiders' behavior in a zero-gravity environment. Both spiders took a long time to adapt to their weightless existence. However, after
