SSX on Tour is a snowboarding and skiing game, the fourth title in the SSX series of video games for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and PlayStation Portable. The game was developed under the working title SSX 4. It was released in North America on October 11, 2005, in the PAL region on October 21, 2005 and in Japan in November 2005. The PlayStation Portable version was released in the Europe on October 28, 2005. Unlike its predecessor SSX 3, On Tour isn't currently compatible with the Xbox 360. In 2007, a sequel titled SSX Blur was released. The GameCube version contains Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach as playable characters. This was part of a deal Nintendo had with EA Sports to have Nintendo's intellectual properties appear in EA franchises.
The gameplay in SSX on Tour is similar to that in SSX 3, with similar controls and the overall aims of events remaining the same - snowboard down a mountain while gaining points for various tricks that can be performed. After each trick, a player's "boost bar" builds up, and once full enables a player to perform special moves - known as "Monster Tricks" now, previously known as "Über tricks". Despite the similarities, numerous changes were made to the structure of races and events themselves. Players can now create their own characters, selecting his/her symbol, makeup, height, clothes and hair, in addition to whether they are a snowboarder or a skier (skiing being a new feature in the game). Once created, their 'boarder can compete in official competitions (known as "Events"), or unofficial challenges known as "Shreds". Each completed event or challenge gains their character "Hype", raising their profile and moving them up the SSX charts, with the ultimate goal of reaching number one.

On Tour is a live album by Yann Tiersen. It was originally released in 2006 and features songs from Tiersen's past albums as well as some previously unreleased compositions. The album is notable for having a different approach to Tiersen's musical style: the usual multi-instrumental ensemble was replaced with electric guitars and an ondes martenot, giving the music a fresh rendition.
On Tour was also released as a DVD.
All music and lyrics are written by Yann Tiersen, except as noted.
On tour, lord of the flies
Aw, hey, who cares? What's a guitar?
Watch out for this one
He'll stab you in the back for fun
I'm just playin', I know you, man
Most of the time
Watch out for this one
He'll pump you full of air
For turnin' your head wrong, I wouldn't know
I see through everyone, even my own self now
I wanna write my whole life down
Burn it there to the ground
I wanna sing at, top of my lungs
For fun, screamin' annoyingly
'Cause that's just me bein' me, bein' free
Watch out for this one
He'll pump you full of air
For turnin' your head wrong, I wouldn't know
'Cause I can see through him and them
On tour, lord of the flies, I'm just playin'
I got it made, most of the time
I wanna beat on a drum so hard
'Til it bleeds blood
Pull out the heart
