The new tour is in support of Batiste's album World Music Radio, released in August. The album features the singles "Be Who You Are (Real Magic)" featuring JID, NewJeans and Camilo, "Calling Your Name" and "Drink Water" featuring Jon Bellion and Fireboy DML.

"World Music Radio is a concept album that takes place in the interstellar regions of the universe. The listener is led through the album by an interstellar traveling griot named Billy Bob Bo Bob, who takes you sonically all around the world at the speed of light," Batiste previously said.
