The Glitter and Doom Tour was a concert tour by American rock musician Tom Waits from June to August 2008. The tour was recorded and a selection of live performances of songs from the tour were included on a live album called Glitter and Doom Live which was released the following year.[1][2]
The tour was announced at a performance art press conference on May 5, 2008.[3] Anti records also released an article to NPR which had Tom interviewing himself.[4]
Tickets for Waits' summer shows were limited to two per person but, in an effort to beat ticket touts, a valid I.D. (passport or driving license) matching the name on the ticket was required to gain entry. Any concert-goer who did not have a valid I.D. or was found to be in possession of a ticket that had been resold was not allowed in and did not get a refund.[5][6]
