Pleasure World Tour (Chinese: Pleasure世界巡迴演唱會) is the upcoming sixth concert tour by Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai, themed around her fifteenth studio album Pleasure (2025). The tour will begin on December 30, 2025, at the Taipei Dome in Taipei, Taiwan.[1]
Background
[edit | edit source]On April 28, 2025, Mirror Media reported that Tsai was planning a new concert tour, scheduled to take place at the Taipei Dome in December of the same year, spanning eight shows from Christmas to New Year's Eve. This will mark her first-ever concerts at the Taipei Dome, making her the first female artist to hold eight consecutive shows at the venue. Each show is expected to accommodate about 40,000 attendees, totaling approximately 320,000 audience members.[2]
On July 25, 2025, Tsai released her fifteenth studio album Pleasure. The album centers on the concept of the seven deadly sins, exploring multiple dimensions of desire, portraying it as both an inherent human instinct and a driving force toward transcendence through pleasure.[3]
On October 31, 2025, Tsai officially announced her Pleasure World Tour, set to kick off on December 30, 2025, at the Taipei Dome. Ticket sales will begin across major ticketing platforms starting November 22, 2025.[4]
Development

The tour is directed and produced by The Squared Division, an Australian creative duo composed of Ashley Evans and Antony Ginandjar. The team previously collaborated with Tsai on her Ugly Beauty World Tour and her album Pleasure. Tsai seeks to extend the album's thematic concept, "pleasure is not a sin, and desire deserves to be embraced", through the tour, inviting the audience to rediscover genuine happiness with her in the "Garden of Earthly Delights". Marking her first-ever performance at the Taipei Dome, the tour showcases an elevated production scale and an innovative stage design that surpass all of her previous concerts.[5]
Tsai also plans to travel to Los Angeles in November 2025 for a month-long intensive training program covering fitness, dance, and vocal performance to prepare for the scale and demands of such a large venue.[6]
Stage setup
[edit | edit source]Compared to her Ugly Beauty World Tour, the Pleasure World Tour enhances the immersive stage experience, tailored to the Taipei Dome's capacity of about 40,000 spectators. In this tour, Tsai embodies the persona of the "Mother of Pleasure", performing on a stage inspired by the concept of a "Garden of Earthly Delights". The setup includes a main stage, an extended stage, and a "stellar stage", all interconnected to form a multi-layered performance layout. This allows Tsai to move dynamically among different sections, enhancing interaction and visibility for the audience and providing a panoramic viewing experience. Tsai remarked that with the upgraded stage and production scale, the challenges are greater, and she aims to deliver a fresh audiovisual experience distinct from her past tours.[7]
Poster
[edit | edit source].jpg)
The main visual was designed by Korean photographer Cho Gi-seok, who also worked on the "Seven Sins Garden" edition of Tsai's album Pleasure. In the poster, Tsai transforms into six personas, each representing an aspect of desire and emotion: the "Omnipotent Priestess" symbolizing dominance and control, the "Siren" with an enchanting voice, the "Eden Angel" representing beauty, the "Awakened Child" symbolizing lust and the forbidden pomegranate, the "Alien Enchantress" with octopus-like eyes representing greed, anger, and delusion, and the "Forest Deity" with ram horns embodying nature and joy. The visual design integrates floral and natural imagery, reflecting the theme of symbiosis between humanity and nature.[8]
Tsai explained that the inspiration came partly from Hieronymus Bosch's painting The Garden of Earthly Delights, which depicts the human pursuit of pleasure and the tension between ecstasy and downfall through a three-panel narrative: Eden, Earthly Delights, and Last Judgment. Its surreal imagery and intricate symbolism deeply influenced her exploration of pleasure and desire as intertwined forces of human nature.[9]
Commercial reception
[edit | edit source]The tickets for the first Taipei shows, scheduled from December 30, 2025, to January 1, 2026, were made available for priority purchase on November 22, 2025. The three priority qualification categories (Cathay United CUBE credit card holders, Taiwan Mobile users, and Tsai's official website members) attracted over 270,000 people vying for 30,000 limited tickets, which sold out quickly after being released. The following day, when general sales opened at noon, the ticketing website saw a peak of 940,000 simultaneous users attempting to purchase tickets. At 5 p.m. the same day, the ticketing system conducted a ticket clearing process and released some remaining tickets, which were also sold out rapidly. In the end, all 90,000 general admission tickets were sold, bringing the total of 120,000 tickets across the three shows to a complete sellout, setting a new record for ticket sales at Tsai's concerts.[10][11]
