The Feed the Beast World Tour was the third headlining tour by German singer and songwriter Kim Petras, in support of her debut studio album Feed the Beast. The tour commenced on 4 August 2023 in Mountain View and concluded in Milan, Italy on 5 March 2024.

Contents

Background

German singer and songwriter Kim Petras embarked on her second tour—the Clarity Tour—from October 2019 to February 2020, in support of her debut mixtape Clarity . [1] Petras signed to Republic Records in 2021 and released the Slut Pop EP in February 2022. [2] [3] After scrapping what would have been her debut studio album in August 2022, she released three singles, "Unholy" with Sam Smith, "If Jesus Was a Rockstar", and "Brrr" in late 2022 and early 2023. [3] [4] [5]

In February 2023, Petras stated that she had been working on her debut studio album for three years, [6] and subsequently released "Alone" with Nicki Minaj on 21 April, serving as the lead single. [7] The album, Feed the Beast , was announced on 15 May 2023, with a release date of 23 June. [5]

Development

The Feed the Beast World Tour was announced on 21 June 2023, two days prior to the release of the album. The tour was announced via Petras' social media accounts, with a teaser video being released alongside the announcement. [8] [9]

Petras started the tour in Mountain View, California on 4 August 2023. This started the North American leg, which will take place from September to November of 2023, travelling to the United States and Canada. She will then embark on the European leg of the tour in February and March of 2024, playing shows in England, Scotland, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Poland, before ending the tour in Milan, Italy on 5 March. The tour spanned 39 shows in total. [10] [11]

This tour utilized two distinct setlists. The initial setlist, used for the American leg, featured five distinct segments: Iron Maiden; Slut Pop; Garden; Turn Off the Light; and Blizzard. This was followed by an encore.

The European leg adopted a shorter setlist with four segments and an encore. The "Garden" and "Turn Off the Light" segments were removed. The "Slut Pop" segment was revised to include songs from both the original album and the newly released "Slut Pop Miami". A new third act, titled "Problématique", was added to showcase material from the previously-shelved album of the same name. Finally, a new fourth act titled "The Hits" incorporated early singles from Era 1 and Clarity , alongside fan favorites popularized on social media platforms like Twitter and TikTok and television shows such as The Summer I Turned Pretty ("Can't Do Better").
