On February 20, 2020, the singer announced through social media that he will tour North America and Europe later that year. On that same day, it was also announced that Sabrina Claudio will open both shows, with Don Toliver opening in North America and Black Atlass opening in Europe, replacing the previous 88Glam. It was also announced on that day that the tour will be sponsored by Verizon. On March 3, 2020, dates were added to Vancouver, Miami, Los Angeles and Toronto due to high demand. A fourth date was also added to London on March 4, 2020 due to the aforementioned reason. Later on March 12, 2020 a Czech Republic date was also added.
Due to fears from COVID-19, Live Nation announced all arena tours scheduled to take place in 2020 would be postponed.

Tickets for the original dates will be honored for the new concerts; the concert in New Orleans was cancelled due to venue unavailability, and a new date is currently being scheduled for Glasgow. On February 3, 2021, the Weeknd announced that his tour would be rescheduled to start on January 14, 2022, in Vancouver.
