The I Am Gloria World Tour broke various records for both a Chinese and Asian artist in terms of its ticket sales, commercial gross, and attendance. It drew over 3 million attendees in 2024 alone and generated a total of US$424million in revenue as of March 2025, making it the fourth highest-grossing concert tour by a female artist of all-time.
Background
During the development of the I Am Gloria World Tour, G.E.M. embraced her given name Gloria to explore themes of personal growth and transformation.[1] The tour began in December 2023 in Guangzhou, China, and has since expanded into dozens of cities in mainland China. On November 2, 2024, concert dates in Paris, London, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore were announced.[2] On March 21, 2025, shows were announced in nine cities in Mainland China.[3]
Production
Stage
G.E.M. served as the tour’s creative director. The stage setup for the I Am Gloria Tour features a 20-meter-high and 63-meter-wide IMAX screen. The sound system features a control console from the L-Acoustics K series of France, utilizing nearly 200 speakers. G.E.M. personally tested and monitored the speakers before and after installation to ensure satisfactory auditory experience for the audience.[4]
Costume design
Tour outfits were created by various designers: Robert Wun, who has designed for Beyoncé, Adele and Lady Gaga; Michael Ngo, who designed costumes for Ariana Grande's concerts; Hong Kong designer Christian Stone; and Sun Ying, who curated and styled over 100 costumes for music video shoots and promotions for G.E.M's Revelation album.[4]
Critical reception
The tour received critical acclaim from music critics. Ang Benson from The Straits Times lauded the singer's "powerful voice" and remarked, "Fleshing out tensions between external forces and one’s inner desires, many songs expressed strong emotions of anger, disappointment and sorrow, which the singer seemed to be grappling with in recent years."[5] In an article published on Tencent News, an editor wrote, "Her voice possesses remarkable versatility, effortlessly transitioning between true and falsetto tones. From her heartfelt renditions of classics like 'Bubble' and 'Light Years Away' to her exploration of experimental sounds in the new album 'Revelation', she demonstrates perfect control".[6]
Commercial performance
The I Am Gloria World Tour became the first tour to hold three consecutive concerts at the Guangdong Olympic Stadium in Guangzhou.[7] In May 2024, it was reported that the tour had already grossed ¥500 million (over $70 million) in six months.[8] In January 2025, it was reported that the tour had attracted over 3 million people and generated HK$2.657 billion ($341 million) in revenue in 2024 alone.[9] By March 2025, the tour grossed a cumulative total of $424 million in revenue, making it the fourth highest-grossing tour by a female recording artist of all-time.[6][10]
