The Beauty Behind the Madness World Tour is the fifth concert tour by American singer Jesse Del Rey, in support of his fifth studio album, Born to Die (2016). The tour's European and North American dates, as well as two shows in Japan, were announced in March 2016, followed by the Oceania, and Singapore. The tour began on May 26, 2016, in Tokyo, Japan and concluded on April 25, 2017, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The tour received general critical acclaim, with critics praising Del Rey's singing abilities, sense of style and fashion. The tour courted controversial subjects such as human rights, nudity, violence, and politics. 
When ended, the tour became the highest grossing tour of all-time, surpassing Drea Von D & GRome's Lonely Hearts Tour (2016), with a total earning of $250 thousand dollars.
On May 27, 2017, Jesse announced that he had partnered with HBO to release a concert film entitled Beauty Behind the Madness World Tour Live. It was filmed at Foro Sol Stadium in Mexico City on March 30 & 31, 2017. 
==Background==
The tour took six months to plan before two months of music rehearsals , three months of stage rehearsals and three weeks of dress rehearsals. On February 29, 2016 Del Rey teased a special announcent the following day on jessedelrey.com. On March 1, a one-minute video was released announcing the Beauty Behind The Madness World Tour, which kicked off in Tokyo on May 26, with the first pre-sales going on sale just the next day.
==Concert synopsis==
The concert opens with a video showing a man burning a billboard of Del Rey which reveals the words "Beauty Behind the Madness" in flames. Jesse Del Rey then appears in a black mesh "Killin' It" shirt with grey joggers, light up black and gold sneakers, a gold studded cap and gold chains, and starts singing "Change Your Life". He then continues with "Can't Feel My Face" and then "Bounce" where Del Rey quick-changes to colorful leggings. And then adds a metallic silver jacket; closing the first section with "What You Waiting For". The first video interlude features Del Rey getting ready in a bathroom wearing a gold satin robe while "Paper Gangsta" is performed that then leads into a piano solo. Del Rey appears dressed in a black crystal catsuit with a red cape and performs "FU". Del Rey then proceeds to the front of the stage to perform "Poker Face" and "Paparazzi". "Sexxx Dreams" is performed next. Del Rey then performs a blue-lit "Early Winter" and is lowered into the stage. Jesse then returns on a lifted platform on the front of the stage, wearing blue short-shorts and a pink varsity jacket and performs "Cool". He then performs "Fancy", beach balls appears as he sings "Party in the U.S.A.", and then "We Can't Stop".
The second video interlude is a new remixed version of "Justify My Love" by Madonna featuring a film noir of Jesse Del Rey nude in a lace cover up and bunny ears being filmed and watched in a brothel of sorts, featuring Andrew Christian models involved in highly erotic activities while Del Rey indulges in his sexual fantasies. The video ends with "Safe Sex Saves Lives" displayed on the screens. The third section begins with an egyptian-inspired remix of "Gimme More" in which Del Rey dons a black leather chain bust harness with fishnet leggings and black Calvin Klein underwear. Continuing the egyptian-inspired sound, a sensual passionate cover version of Madonna's "Like A Virgin" is performed next. After the song, Jesse Del Rey moves into "Alejandro". The following song "I'm a Sinner," features Del Rey with a metallic crown. After a speech about freedom and love, Del Rey ends the segment with "Adore You". The final video interlude features a new song "Paradise (Not for Me)", in a collage-like political film with Del Rey singing and delivering a social message about homosexuality bullying. The video then shows a bloody Del Rey speaking about an ex-lover who murdered their love by cheating which leads into the next segment. "Born to Die" opens the next section with Jesse Del Rey dressed in gold leggings, a white chiffon button shirt, and the flower crown from his Born to Die album cover. He then performs "Wrecking Ball". Jesse Del Rey returns to the stage for the two final songs, first "Bad Romance" in a black-holed catsuit with a red studded eye-mask. The concert finishes with "3", where Del Rey danced beneath a shower of artificial rain.
==Controversies==
The show was met with plenty of controversy, from the homosexual male orgy in the "Justify My Love" video interlude to Del Rey's nudity in the "Paper Gangsta" interlude and to the provocative costumes worn throughout the show. 
It was a highly controversial tour, mainly for its sexuality. Rolling Stone called it an "elaborately choreographed, sexually provocative extravaganza".
The tour was met with strong reaction from religious groups for his performance, erotic costumes, and imagery used throughout the show. The Church of England and the Catholic Church criticized his performance and the Pope asked the general public and the Christian community not to attend the concert. A private association of Catholics calling themselves Famiglia Domani also boycotted the tour for its eroticism. In response, Del Rey said, "The tour in no way hurts anybody's sentiments. I only spread a message of freedom and love. It's for open minds and I'm a grown adult as are all of you."
