The Biggest Tour I Have Done So Far Tour

The Biggest Tour I Have Done So Far Tour is a 2016 concert tour from American singer-songwriter Ben Rector. Aptly named, it was his largest tour at the time.

Background In 2015 Ben Rector released the album Brand New. The album, especially the single of the same name, was a commercial success and brought Rector to more mainstream attention; the album peaked at 9th on Billboard 200, and the song "Brand New" had 41 million streams on Spotify by 2019 and saw over 40 television and movie placements. His headlining tour, The Brand New Tour spanning two legs, was equally successful; the first leg having 15 sold-out shows and selling over 41,000 tickets.

In support of the touring success he followed up The Brand New Tour with The Biggest Tour I Have Done So Far Tour, the second headlining tour for Brand New spanning an additional 20 shows. The tour featured opening acts from Jacob Whitesides and Colony House. Bandmates that performed alongside Rector included Cody Fry and Cory Wong. Crew for the tour included tour manager Jordan Powell, production manager Jake Hartfield, and lighting director Daniel Rehbein. It was Rector's largest-scale tour at the time. Having found that with prior tours were "out of control" despite his efforts, he felt more relaxed and willing with The Biggest Tour I Have Done So Far Tour. Touring for Brand New spanned 73 dates, and due to the additional touring efforts for The Biggest Tour I Have Done So Far Tour, his following album Magic was postponed until 2018. It was the longest release gap between two of Rector's albums.
