Sanctuary World Tour (Chinese: 圣所世界巡回演唱会) is the fifth concert tour by Singaporean singer and songwriter JJ Lin. It began on 17 March 2018, in Shanghai, China, and spanned a total of 66 performances across Asia and Australia.[1] The tour attracted a total of approximately 1,600,000 attendees.

Background and development

The Sanctuary World Tour officially kicked off on 17 March 2018, at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai. Due to the enthusiastic response from the audience, additional performances were added in Shanghai, Wuhan, Shenzhen, and other cities. In Singapore and Taipei, the shows were extended to four performances each, setting a new record for JJ Lin's solo concerts. The first stage of the tour concluded on 11 March 2019, in Melbourne.

The second stage of the tour, titled Sanctuary 2.0, began on 23 March 2019, at the Huanglong Sports Center Stadium in Hangzhou. On 11 November, it was announced that the Australian leg would take place at the Stadium Australia in Sydney on 7 March of the following year. On 21 and 22 December, the tour reached the Singapore National Stadium. This marked JJ Lin's first solo concert at the venue, making him the first Chinese singer to hold two consecutive concerts there. The tour was scheduled to perform in stadiums across more than 20 cities in Asia in 2019, marking JJ Lin's first large-scale stadium tour since his debut.

On 31 December 2019, JJ Lin announced via a social media live broadcast that the third phase of the Sanctuary concert, "Sanctuary: Wonderland", would commence, with performances planned in seven cities. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was officially announced on 31 January 2020, that the Shanghai and Nanning stops, which had already sold out, would be postponed. On 7 February, it was further announced that the Australian stop would also be postponed.

On 27 March 2021, JJ Lin held an online press conference to announce that the Sanctuary Finale online concert would be launched globally on 6 June. However, on 18 May, the organizer announced another postponement due to COVID-19. The concert was finally broadcast on 10 July through Sistic Live Stream and TME Live under Tencent Music.

Commercial performance

The Sanctuary World Tour sold 995,402 tickets and grossed US$107.57 million in 2019 alone, making it the top-grossing Chinese tour of the year and ranking 16th worldwide.[citation needed]
