What is a tour rider?

A TOUR RIDER USUALLY CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS: THE HOSPITALITY AND THE TECHNICAL RIDER

1. Whose rider is this?

For this person, it was very important that he/she receive one pack of Marlboro Lights and a lighter. He/She also requested to be given two bottles of "the best quality Californian red wine and one bottle of the best quality Californian Sauvignon Blanc white wine (chilled). NO CHARDONNAY!"

2. Whose rider is this?

When he/she was first starting his/her career in 2010, his/her riders were simple: lots of snack food. Now, eight years later, the riders include 10 luxury Sedans, a massage table, and a private jet on standby for any of his/her travel desires.

3. Whose rider is this?

Don't bring Coca-Cola products near this person, as he/she’s in a contract with Pepsi and drinking anything else would break it. Also requested in his/her hospitality rider: heavily seasoned, baked chicken legs, breasts, and wings (don’t forget the hot sauce). And as if performing didn’t make him/her sweat, He/she likes the temperature in the dressing room to be set to 78 degrees Fahrenheit at all times.

4. Whose rider is this?

During his/her performance in London’s O2 Arena, this person requested that a framed photo of Princess Diana be hung in his/her dressing room because, reportedly, "This person adores the monarchy. Diana was in many ways his/her inspiration." He/She also really wanted some McDonald’s cheeseburgers...but hold the buns.

5. Whose rider is this?

This person loves his/her Starbucks so much that his/her very specific order has to be delivered to him/her before 11 a.m. The order includes 1 Grande ICED Caramel Latte with 2 Sweet-N-Lows, 1 Grande ICED Americano with 2 Sweet-N-Lows and soy milk, and 1 slice of Pumpkin loaf.

6. Whose rider is this?

At the top of this person’s rider: 12 puppies. He/she revealed that it’s been on his/her rider for a while, but this is the one thing he/she doesn't always get. He/She said only occasionally “a city will show up with 12 puppies" for him/her. Other than that, he/she just wants beer and meat pies.

7. Whose rider is this?

This person has made some pretty unusual requests, one being a mannequin with "puffy pink hair” for his/her tour. He/She also was in need of some extra long straws and lots of tea—as any true fan knows, he/she’s obsessed with it.

8. Whose rider is this?

During his/her world tour in 2010, this person's rider included one large fur rug (preferably animal-printed) for him/her to walk on barefoot. Apparently he/she was also very big into curtains, specifically blue or black with “icy-blue chiffon” and white curtains to cover any lockers or bricks.

9. Whose rider is this?

This person is very health conscious and, according to his/her rider, he/she requires someone to disinfect the doorknobs of any backstage venue or hotel he/she's in every two hours. On top of that, it’s necessary for him/her to have the elevator to himself/herself and an entire floor of a hotel.

10. Whose rider is this?

It’s all-white everything for this person. His/Her rider says all objects, from the curtains down to the candles, must be the creamy shade.

11. Whose rider is this?

This person is a little extra with his/her food requests. His/her snack list is complete with unsweetened, dried apples and pears, and lightly salted, dry-roasted edamame. And if you ever plan to send him/her flowers, under absolutely no circumstances should they be carnations.

12. Whose rider is this?

In his/her spring 2009 production rider, this person demanded that he/she have seven dressing rooms (one for every day of the week maybe?). And he/she was also in need of some “good quality peanut butter” and “good quality jelly” to, you know, make some really bomb PB&J sandwiches in his/her down time.

13. Whose rider is this?

Among his list of requests while on tour, this person's weirdest is four dozen natural-scented incense sticks. Less surprising: a *ton* of alcohol, including bottles of Hennessy or Courvoisier, Patron Silver Tequila, Grey Goose Vodka, Jack Daniels, and Heineken.

14. Whose rider is this?

Chief among the requested: Carmex chapstick, Sunkist salted pistachios, bottles of Propel Water, and booze—a bottle of Hennessy, Skyy or Absolut Vodka, Patron Silver Tequila, and four 6-packs of Heineken. 

15. Whose rider is this?

After the break up, he/she had declared no one he/she worked with could go by the name “Justin.” Apparently quite a few crew members had the name and therefore were given different monikers during his/her time of mourning. Other than that one strange request, he/she just needs chicken pot pie and pickles.
