Yeah, you could put the different legs and then their links would have the dates details. It would sort of be a medium big job as I'd want to make that consistent across the whole wiki. If this was something you really wanted it might be best to have an extra link to the entire years shows as it is now.

I think more often than not, the longer tours are going to coincide with the bigger album and single releases of his later career...which is going to mean more listings (and longer listings) for the news and the release sections.

2013 and 2014 format looks good. For the tour section, I originally thought of just including a brief summary and link to the respective tour pages instead of listing each date as that may be too much information on one page if it's completely filled out. - DT
