Remove ads

The Total World Tour was the fifth concert tour by English recording artist Joss Stone. The tour lasted 6 years, with Stone expressing her intent to play in every country on Earth, and mostly succeeded in her goal, even reaching countries such as North Korea, Yemen, and Iraq.[1] For this achievement, she was the first artist to receive the World Tour Certification.[2] It began in Casablanca, Morocco on 29 March 2014,[3] and ended prematurely in Barcelona, Spain on 3 July 2019. The tour would have ended on 4 July 2019 in Kish Island, Iran, but upon entry to the country, Stone was deported, as authorities believed her concert would be public.[4][5]

Along with the concerts, on each day of the tour, Stone met and sang with local musicians and volunteered with local charities.[6][7][8] To respect the culture, Stone wore a hijab when visiting various Middle Eastern countries, even when it wasn't legally required. In order to perform in Syria, Stone crossed into the country illegally.[9] The tour featured various local and international support acts in each country. For example, American India Arie joined as a support act for the first Oceania leg.[10][11]

Deportation from Iran

Joss Stone was scheduled to conclude the Total World Tour on 4 July 2019 with a private concert in Iran. However, upon arrival to Kish International Airport, Stone was detained by authorities who believed her concert would be public.[4][5][9] In Iran, it is illegal for women to perform public concerts because Shia Muslim clerics believe that "a woman's singing voice can be erotic".[12] Stone was aware of this law, and was quoted saying "We were aware there couldn’t be a public concert as I am a woman and that is illegal in this country. Personally I don’t fancy going to an Iranian prison nor am I trying to change the politics of the countries I visit nor do I wish to put other people in danger."[13] She later claimed that the people in immigration treated her "...the best [she had] experienced anywhere." and "...they were so upset that they had to deport [her]."[14]
