List of 4*Town concert tours

The following is a description of concert tours by fictional Canadian boy band 4*Town, first featured in the 2022 Disney and Pixar film Turning Red. Despite the film's release year, the synopsis occurs 20 years earlier. This article does not list filming for the group's television appearances or include any information about their charity and festival concerts, private appearances, or solo tours. It does, however, mention their televised concert specials in the narrative text.

Debut Tour (1999)
4*Town's first tour promoted their self-titled debut album and consisted of a series of performances at indoor and outdoor concert venues worldwide. At each tour stop, they sang generally 10 songs from their debut album after a brief rehearsal on the day of each performance.

4*Town filmed a CBC special in August 1998, over a month before the album was released, at Bridge Studios Stage 1 in Vancouver and would later broadcast on December 31, 1998, coinciding with New Year's Eve. The official tour began on April 10, 1999 where one critic wrote: "If you wondered how perfectly the show was put together, you received the answer Saturday evening…loads of energy, powerful harmonies, and then some." The tour received further positive reviews and concluded with a stop in France on September 15, 1999. No shows were cancelled.

Nobody Like U World Tour (2001-02)
4*Town's tour to promoting their second studio album Nobody Like U shortly after Canadian Thanksgiving in 2001 with a stop in Singapore. At each tour stop, the group sang generally 13 songs, mostly from Nobody Like U, mixed with songs from their self-titled album from 1998. Other appearances throughout October followed in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines. Shows in Latin America commenced in November with stops in Mexico, Venezuela, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil.

After nearly three months off, the tour started up again in February 2002 with a European leg featuring shows in Austria, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Ireland, continuing into March. This was followed by Oceanic leg with four stops in Australia and one in New Zealand through early and mid-April, and a North American leg with 16 shows in the United States and Canada from May to September. The May 2002 concert in Toronto was interrupted when Ming, the mother of fellow 4*Town fan Meilin Lee, turned into an oversized red panda and got on Mei's case about attending the concert. Mei's relatives and friends helped 4*Town resurrect the show with a medley of the red moon ritual and the title track from Nobody Like U, bringing back audience members and destructing Ming's red panda form. The next day, 4*Town decided to announce a three-night residency at a smaller Toronto venue, the Air Canada Centre, as a special way to end the tour in honor of fans who weren't able to attend the SkyDome show due to the turmoil. The residency lasted from September 12 to 14, 2002 and proved to be a successful end to the tour.

As with previous tours, they usually rehearsed briefly on the day of each performance.

4*Town's second televised concert special, called Nobody Like U: Live from Montréal!, began to air on CBC on October 8, 2001, coinciding with Canadian Thanksgiving. A DVD version of the program was distributed as a pledge gift by CBC and was included as part of the deluxe set of Nobody Like U from various department retail stores in Canada and elsewhere. The special continued to be broadcast by CBC in 2002.
