How Many Countries Does Jimmy Tour?
Over the last 25+ years how many countries has Jimmy performed in (and still does)?
Some places he may only have performed a couple of times (e.g. 3 gigs in India, in 2024), some it’s a tour every couple of years (e.g. Australia and New Zealand) and the UK, USA and Europe he’s constantly shuttling back and forth.
My best guess is:
- Australia
- Austria
- Belgium
- Bosnia & Herzegovina
- Bulgaria
- Canada
- Croatia
- Cyprus
- Czechia
- Denmark
- Estonia
- Finland
- France
- Germany
- Greece
- Hong Kong (now in the Chinese Special Administration Region)
- Hungary
- Iceland
- India
- Indonesia
- Ireland (Republic of)
- Israel
- Italy
- Japan
- Latvia
- Lithuania
- Malaysia
- Malta
- Netherlands
- New Zealand
- North Macedonia
- Norway
- Poland
- Portugal
- Romania
- Saudi Arabia
- Serbia
- Singapore
- Slovakia
- Slovenia
- South Africa
- Spain
- Sweden
- Switzerland
- Thailand
- Turkey
- UAE
- UK (should we count it as 1 or 4?)**
- US
Apparently, according to the UN, there are 195 countries – but they count the United Kingdom as only being 1** and note that Hong Kong is now within China (it wasn’t when he last gigged there).
If we were to also count the “UK constituent countries” and “British Overseas Territories” and “Crown Dependencies” – then the total of 49 (countries visited) would become 55 (don’t forget to remove the UK, from the total of 49, before adding the 7 below – I almost did).
- Channel Islands
- England
- Gibraltar
- Isle of Man
- Northern Ireland
- Scotland
- Wales
I know they OFFICIALLY are not countries – but I’m sure a lot of people living in these places may have something to say about that (don’t shoot the messenger).
Geography may not be one of my strengths but I would not have put money on Malta being classed as an official country and yet the Channel Islands are NOT.
I’ve seen a listing for a South Korea gig (2019 March 31st) but it appears to have possibly been cancelled (unless anyone can tell me differently).
As Jimmy has often said “he’s got the air miles of a Wookiee”.
If you’re in one of the 147 countries that he’s not visited yet (195 minus 49) – you may want to enter a bid.
His upcoming tour locations can be seen under Tickets! (here).
Do you think the Holy See would like a visit??
