The tour was announced a mere two weeks after the group completed their Where We Are Tour. The tour was directed by William Baker.

Originally, tour dates were announced only for the United Kingdom, but dates were added for Ireland, the Arabian Peninsula, and festival shows in Europe. Volkswagen supported this tour.

During the concert at the Echo Arena Liverpool in Liverpool, England, the show was briefly paused as a set malfunction left the group hanging from the arena's ceiling by a swaying bar. A team of security guards helped lower the group, resuming the concert.

Opening acts

• Wonderland (Europe—Leg 1)
• Glenn Cal (Europe—Leg 1)
• Young JV (Philippines)
