The Fear the Future Tour was an international concert tour by American singer St. Vincent, which supported her fifth studio album Masseduction (2017). The tour started on October 7, 2017, in Los Angeles, United States and concluded on February 26, 2018 in Tulsa, United States. The production was unique in that St. Vincent performed it as a one-woman show, appearing solo onstage for the entirety of the set with no backing band. The show featured only her live guitar and vocals with an instrumental track.
Background After releasing her self-titled fourth studio album in 2014, Clark toured extensively during that year and 2015, entering on a hiatus of nearly two years thereafter. Even before any official announcement of the first single "New York" and the album Masseduction, on June 21, 2017, the singer announced the Fear the Future Tour, with a video titled "A Very Special Announcement" on YouTube and a press release containing the first dates in North America and Europe.
On November 6, 2017, Clark announced a new North American leg for 2018, with mainly East Coast dates.
