19 of Cher’s Most Show-Stopping Tour Moments Throughout the Years

There were also 12 costume changes. Cher is pictured wearing one of the costumes here with comedian George Burns.

In 1980, Cher started a rock band with her then-boyfriend, Les Dudek. The group decided to go on a North American mini-tour that year where, for six of the dates, they opened up for Hall & Oates. Bob Mackie, Cher’s longtime collaborator, created the costumes for the performances.

A year later, the star decided to take a break from touring. During her touring hiatus, she starred in several films, including Moonstruck, Silkwood, Mask, The Witches of Eastwick, and Suspect. Here, the performer is pictured posing at the 1986 Academy Awards dressed in an elaborately designed Bob Mackie creation.

After almost a decade of not touring, Cher announced her 1990 world tour, Heart of Stone. This larger-than-life tour happened over eight months and took the singer to places including Detroit, Philadelphia, Chicago, and more.

A few years later, the songstress embarked on another world tour, Love Hurts. Planned in support of her twentieth studio album of the same name, the singer performed across Europe and North America. For this tour, Mackie designed nine different costumes, many of which incorporated both leather and dominatrix-style details that Cher had worn in the past.

During one of her songs, she came out in a furry white overcoat paired with sequined white gloves and an intricately-detailed sparkly hat.

In the late ‘90s, Cher kicked off her Do You Believe? Tour, which promoted her studio album, Believe. Although the tour was only supposed to run from June through December of 1999, it was so successful that it was given an extension through March 2000. The tour’s openers included Cyndi Lauper, Julio Iglesias Jr., and Michael McDonald.

Here, Cyndi Lauper is pictured performing during the Do You Believe? Tour at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, California.

During one of her sold-out Farewell Tour shows, the singer descended from the ceiling of the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, wearing a fur-trimmed coat and sequined headdress.

The Farewell Tour had plenty of eye-catching costumes. Here, the singer is pictured wearing an oversized red hat with silver trim, a circus ring leader-esque jacket with a large collar, and a sequined unitard layered underneath.

In 2008, Cher started her three-year residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The show included 17 costume changes (with outfits designed by Bob Mackie) and grossed over $97 million during its run.

Much like her previous tours, this one had a long list of dazzling costumes, including this sparkly red and white number.

Cher’s 2017 show, Classic Cher, was the singer’s third concert residency. It was performed in Las Vegas, Oxon Hill, and Atlantic City and included 18 songs on its setlist.
