Japanese Bad Tour shows sell out before opening

The first fourteen Japanese dates for Michael’s first solo world tour sell out quickly.

The demand in Tokyo and Osaka shows how much anticipation surrounds the Bad Tour before Michael has even stepped on stage. It sets up Japan as the opening chapter of the tour and a key part of the album’s global launch.

This should later connect to individual Japanese tour dates, press arrivals, television coverage and fan accounts. The Japanese opening is one of the most important launch points for understanding the scale of the Bad World Tour.
