Niki concert chronology

The Nicole World Tour (also known as The Nicole Tour) was the debut headlining concert tour by Indonesian singer-songwriter Niki, launched in support of her second studio album, Nicole (2022).

The tour began on September 8, 2022 at the Malkin Bowl theater in Vancouver, Canada and concluded on October 10, 2023 at the Melkweg venue in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The tour visited a total of 41 cities across North America, Asia, Australia, and Europe.

Background

[edit]

Niki planned to embark on a concert tour to promote her debut studio album, Moonchild (2020), which did not happen due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] After performing in several music festivals and opening for other established musicians, Niki finally announced her first headlining tour in June 2022. The ticket went on sales on June 10, 2022.[2]

Critical responses

[edit]

Chong Jinn Xiung from Tatler Asia named it one of "4 must-see concerts by Asian musicians in 2023".[3] Rona Amparo from The Philippine Star praised Niki for her "comforting voice" and for "demonstrat[ting] her musical prowess as she played the guitar and keyboard throughout the concert".[4]

Janice Sim from Vogue Singapore described her fashion during the tour mirrored her "youthful exuberance and stripped-back approach in her music—with everyday pieces that could easily be wardrobe staples. Of course, when paired with the artist's soulful vocals and sweet charisma, Niki has done what she's been doing best—shining on stage."[5]

Commercial reception

[edit]

According to Broadway World, many dates of the 2022 leg of the tour had sold-out in the first hour of the presales, leaving a few remaining tickets for the general onsale on June 10, 2022.[6] Niki's concert at the JIExpo Hall, Jakarta, on September 26, 2023 sold out in seven minutes, prompting her to add the second show for the next day.[7][8] Total attendance for the Jakarta shows were 16,000.[9]

The show for Pasay (Metro Manila) sold out in minutes after being on sale.[10] In anticipation of the concert, her Filipino fans held an event called the "Backburner Party" at the Ayala Malls Manila Bay in Parañaque on September 10, 2023, featuring an impersonator of the singer similar to Taylor Sheesh.[11]

The Kuala Lumpur show, with a total of 2,500 seats, sold out in under an hour.[12]
