The World Tour was the fourth concert tour by Taiwanese recording artist Jay Chou, held in support of his eighth studio album On the Run! (2007). The tour visited various countries including Taiwan, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Canada and the United States from November 2007 to August 2009.

Concerts

On February 16, 2008, Chou became the second Mandopop artist to perform at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo. In response to the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, the concert held in Chongqing on May 24, 2008, was changed to a charity fundraising concert. All proceeds from the concert were donated to the disaster area.

The World Tour marked Chou's first large-scale world tour since the founding of his own record label, JVR Music. The tour features songs from his past seven albums, as well as tracks from his then-new album On the Run!, totaling nearly 30 songs. Chou commented, "The performance will be even more impressive than three years ago, truly extraordinary. There will be more dance routines than before, and I've learned a lot that will be incorporated into the show."

Broadcast and recordings

A live album, recorded at the Banqiao Stadium concert in Taipei on November 10, 2007, was released by Sony Music Taiwan and JVR Music on January 31, 2008.
