      • The Utopia World Tour (Chinese: 乌托邦世界巡城演唱会) is the seventh headlining concert tour by Taiwanese singer A-Mei (張惠妹). The tour began on April 4, 2015, the same day as the release of her studio album, Amit 2. An extension of the tour, titled Utopia 2.0 Carnival World, commenced in Shanghai in December 2016.
      The tour attracted a total of around 2.5 million people and grossed around NT$6 billion (US$202 million), making it one of the highest-grossing concert tours by a female artist.


      Critical reception


      The tour received generally positive reviews from music critics. Hon Jing-yi from Today Online remarked that, A-Mei "schooled us all on what it means to hold a concert – and certainly what it means to be the reigning Queen of Mandopop. The show, in short, was a cathartic experience." Reviewing the show at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, Boon Chan from The Straits Times wrote how "A-mei moved effortlessly from one scenario to the other", "equally at ease belting out ballads or firing up the high-octane dance numbers". He added, "It took a while though before her vocals warmed up fully", but by the end of the night, "A-mei sounded like she could sing for another 20 years."


      Commercial performance


      The ten shows at the Taipei Arena in Taipei in April 2015 sold out 120,000 tickets in twelve minutes. The concerts in Kaohsiung, Taiwan at the Kaohsiung Arena sold out around 100,000 tickets and grossed NT$200 million.


      Economic effects


      Following the conclusion of the concerts in Kaohsiung, Taiwanese media outlets reported that the concerts brought around NT$1 billion in tourism revenue to the city.
