Most ambitious tours ever: Rihanna's 777 and more
Can the Unapologetic star rival tours from the likes of Muse, Bowie, Coldplay, Gaga and more?
- Rihanna's 777 tour is soon to see her perform concerts in 7 cities and 7 days. Taking in London, New York and Paris - amongst others - Rihanna's describing it as shaping up to be a "a rock n' roll adventure" - and unlike anything we've seen before.

The announcement of Rihanna's 777 tour has fans in a frenzy: jumbo jets, non-stop parties and only seven days to do it all. Not only that, but the star is taking along fans and journalists alike - sleeping and partying together.
But Rihanna isn't the first musician to attempt going bigger and better on a concert tour - or to set herself ridiculous limits for doing so. We tell you about one band who played as many cities as they could in just 24 hours - and at the other end of the spectrum, another band who played over 300 tour dates in just over two years.
And that's not getting started on stage design - from giant spiders hanging over the stage to LED suits and something called 'The Claw', stars are constantly trying to outdo each other - and we're the ones who get to reap the benefits of their amazing stageshows.
So settle down and take a look - who has staged the most ambitious tours ever?
