Chinese singer-songwriter Joker Xue held his first concert in 2008 in Shanghai. Since 2017, he has headlined three tours for a total of 173 shows. His first tour, I Think I've Seen You Somewhere, was based in China. He expanded the scope for his second and third tours, Skyscraper World Tour and Extraterrestrial World Tour, to include stops in other Asian countries and cities in North America, Europe, Australia.

Xue holds several tour records, all accomplished during his Extraterrestrial Tour in 2024. In April, he became one of five Chinese artists who have held more than 100 concerts in a single tour. In June, he became the only Chinese artist to have held more than 100 stadium concerts in a single tour, a significant milestone as stadiums have much larger capacity compared to arenas and demand more of the artist's performance, tour equipment, and ticket sales.[1][2] In October, he became the first mainland China artist to hold an international stadium tour when he extended the Extraterrestrial World Tour with seven international stadium shows.[3][4]

He also holds numerous venue records as the first artist to perform at many stadiums in China and as the first mainland China artist to perform at various stadiums and arenas overseas, both due to his willingness to travel to second- and third-tier cities (as categorized by Chinese city tier system) and his widespread fanbase. In July 2023, Xue held three consecutive concerts at Beijing National Stadium, fulfilling his wish of headlining the venue as stated in an interview eighteen years ago, and returned for six more shows in July 2024.[5]

Both of his world tours received positive reviews from The Straits Times. Of the Skyscraper World Tour, Xue's voice "smouldered at its lower end and shimmered in its higher register" and he was able to "play up the drama in performance without being showy."[6] Of the Extraterrestrial World Tour, Xue's style was "playful and wisecracking", his voice "rang with a pleading intensity perfect for the grand anthems he is known for", and he familiarized "himself with all things Singapore" to include local details into his performance.[7] He again received positive review for his encore shows at Singapore National Stadium, "no script, no filter, all in good fun" with the appeal for his shows being "his authenticity, spontaneity and the fact that he can sing."[8]
