2024 dates part of tour?

I know it was [previously] seen that the dates from June and July of 2024 were part of the tour, but it seems as if the release of the new 2025 dates show the November 2024 launch in Singapore as the launch of the tour as evident by the press release via Live Nation. So, should the earlier dates still be included? livelikemusic (TALK!) 16:46, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If the setlist for the Nov 2024 onwards shows turns out to be different, I suppose the prior shows should be considered simply promotional performances? Theknine2 (talk) 01:15, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of the set list, even the press release above omits the previous dates from the itinerary. They're [briefly] mentioned in the prose but not as tour dates for this tour. livelikemusic (TALK!) 14:10, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it should be part of the tour. Dua Lipa's website specifically stated it as "Radical Optimism Tour": https://web.archive.org/web/20240605184105/https://www.dualipa.com/tour/ Sammyrayy (talk) 21:15, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Secondary sources refer to Berlin as the first date of the tour as well: https://news.pollstar.com/2024/06/07/chart-scene-dua-lipa-joins-artist-power-index-following-new-tour-launch/ Sammyrayy (talk) 21:17, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Again, as linked above, the PR release did not list them as previously part of the "Radical Optimism Tour," and were instead stated as a separate performance. [Most] artists put those kind of festival performances on their "tour" page, without it even being part of a tour. livelikemusic (TALK!) 21:33, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the difference is the artist site doesn't usually state the name of the tour. this one specifically says "radical optimism tour" Sammyrayy (talk) 21:09, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Third party will always hold more weight over first or secondary ones. Again, the press release for the tour omitted the summer dates. livelikemusic (TALK!) 00:22, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

as mentioned before, other third party sources do list berlin as the beginning of the tour.

Based on the listings from the artist's website, but per the PR Release (which is an official release by the producer of the tour — Live Nation — they do not include the festival concerts, or even the recently-performed Austin concert, as part of this concert tour. livelikemusic (TALK!) 00:45, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A new Pollstar article still includes the first show in Berlin as part of the tour: "The “Radical Optimism” tour has included dates at Waldbühne Berlin with a gross of $2.3 million in June..."

At least for Pollstar that show is part of the tour's total revenue

Oceania vs Australia & New Zealand

Hi @Livelikemusic:, just wanted to let you know that it is standard procedure to list "Oceania" in place of "Australia • New Zealand" in the Location section of the infobox. See: any article in Category:Concert tours of New Zealand. Thanks. TenthAvenueFreezeOut (talk) 12:37, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Except, per {{Infobox concert}} it states: The location(s) of where the tour took place (ex: cities, states, countries, continents). Oceania is not a continent. It is a geographical region. And to list countries then a region is contradictory. Not to mention, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, since several articles in that category also ignore the fact | number_of_shows = is to be the total number of shows on the entire tour and not a breakdown of each continent. livelikemusic (TALK!) 15:25, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

1. WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not relevant? What I'm currently discussing is about being consistent with literally every other article about a tour that includes a New Zealand stop.

2. The ex in "(ex: cities, states, countries, continents)" means example. Nowhere in that guideline says "no geographical regions". Also, you forgot this: "Avoid unnecessarily long lists".

3. "And to list countries then a region is contradictory" doesn't work if you intend on listing continents (e.g. North America, Asia) next to New Zealand (country)? TenthAvenueFreezeOut (talk) 19:15, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To state "OTHERSTUFFEXISTS" isn't relevant is false, when it is, when exampling to mass-pages which do, in fact, contradict what the template does state. And I know what the "ex" stands for (no need for that kind of lesson here). Again, the articles would be inconsistent with what the template is asking for. So listed two vs. one would qualify as "unnecessarily long lists"? I would not. again, to list all continents and then throw a geographical region in there seems contradictory. Technically, Australia is a continent, as well as a country, which means New Zealand is the outlier in this equation. And I guess Oceania could be considered, as even per here it states: Not usually considered to be a continent in the English-speaking world. At this point, I won't pursue further, to avoid further conflict in order to prove a point, even though I firmly believe listing "Oceania" is false. livelikemusic (TALK!) 19:29, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have raised this question in Template talk:Infobox concert#Question about "location" parameter for tours that include Australia and NZ, since it is a fairly good question anyway, and I can have this specified in Template:Infobox concert. Thanks for leaving it as is for now, will make changes to the article (if necessary) if this question gets answered. TenthAvenueFreezeOut (talk) 19:37, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a good question for the template itself, so kudos for bringing it up there, to reach a community consensus that could potentially be added into the template's documentation at some point! livelikemusic (TALK!) 19:44, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
