"Straight off the plane to a new hotel / Just touched down, you could never tell." When Harry Styles sang those lyrics in 2014, he was already well accustomed to(习惯于) the glamour(魅力;吸引力) and grind(苦差事;辛劳) of a global concert tour. Across his boyband and solo career he has performed more than 600 gigs(演出;现场表演) on six continents. His previous tour visited 79 cities.
“刚下飞机就住进新酒店/才落地,你永远猜不到。”当哈里·斯泰尔斯在2014年唱出这些歌词时,他对全球巡演的魅力和辛劳早已习以为常。从男孩组合到单飞生涯,他在六大洲演出超过600场。他上一次巡演造访了79个城市。
But not all is as it was. The 68 concerts on his new tour will be hosted in just seven cities. He is in the midst of(在…之中;正在…) a 12-night run(连续演出;一轮) at Wembley stadium in London, which ends on July 4th. In August he will go to Madison Square Garden in New York to play 30 concerts.
但一切已非昨日。他新巡演的68场演出仅在7个城市举行。目前他正在伦敦温布利体育场进行12晚的驻场演出,将持续到7月4日。八月,他将在纽约麦迪逊广场花园连演30场。
The British heartthrob(万人迷;偶像) is not the only musician travelling less. Many of the biggest pop acts(表演者;艺人) have started to expect their fans to come to them. Beyoncé spent half of her "Cowboy Carter" tour in just three venues. Coldplay performed extensively(广泛地;大量地) in certain cities; Olivia Rodrigo will do the same when she heads out on the road in September. Ariana Grande is appearing in just three countries on her tour.
这位英国万人迷并非唯一减少旅行的音乐人。许多顶级流行艺人已开始期望粉丝主动前来。碧昂斯将她的“牛仔卡特”巡演半数场次集中在仅三个场馆。酷玩乐队在特定城市大量演出;奥利维亚·罗德里戈九月上路时也将如法炮制。爱莉安娜·格兰德的巡演仅登陆三个国家。
