The tour was originally scheduled to begin on June 29, 2013, in St. Louis, Missouri, and end on August 31, 2013, in Nashville, Tennessee. However, due to low ticket sales, 10 shows were canceled, reducing the total to 30 performances. The tour began on July 19, 2013, in Kent, Washington.[2]
At most venues, the stage was placed in the center of the arena, with the other half closed off by curtains to create a theater-like atmosphere. This setup provided a more intimate experience for audiences.
