Should Billy Joel's stints at Madison Square Garden (split out by about a month or more in time each) be considered a tour called “Billy Joel at the Garden”..? He lists these one-offs this way on his webpage, but my hunch based on what a “tour” is, it doesn't meet the definition.

Thoughts?

This artist has a tour (Blood, Sweat & Beers tour) that is written in 6 different ways, all with only 1 concert assigned to that tour:

Can these be merged or does this needs to be done manually so that they all are under the same name?

Last I heard, it's a manual thing…

Hey there!

I was just searching for a feature/suggestion and saw that I already suggested it almost 10 years ago – sadly with no replies :D
https://www.setlist.fm/forum/music/setlists-concerts-and-tours/tours-sub-tours-53d6bbf9#3d6891b

I recently was checking tours from Ghost (the swedish metal band) and found the up to eight Tours for basically the same thing a bit of an eyesore, but couldn't really find anything on the guidelines on how much is too much.

On some level I can understand the separate listings, but it is pretty inconvenient when looking for “the bigger picture” of songs played, when you have to check several sub-tours and try to figure out the differences.

So, I am bringing up (again :D) the suggestion of having Sub-Tours.
Thoughts on this?

Cheers

The way I see it, technically “Sub-Tours” are basically the same as tour legs. One main tour, many different sub tours. Like “World Tour 2023″ with “European Leg” as sub-tour. Personally, I think tour legs would be a great addition to setlist.fm and I'd really like to see it. It should be the first addition to the existing tour feature. The sad part however is, that it's not planned for the near future. But it's definitely on the list.

@michi
exactly, tour legs would be another way of expressing what I mean :)
Glad to hear it's on the list – looking forward to it, whenever it will be
Just hoping it's not another ten years, like with my first suggestion :D
