The Heart of Everything Tour was the first world tour for the band, in which they visited South American countries, as Brazil, Argentina and Chile for the first time. The band also performed at several large European festivals, such as Pinkpop, Pukkelpop and Download which helped the band to reach the status of a mainstream band throughout Europe, as The Heart of Everything appeared in several European charts. [1] [2]

The band started their very first U.S. tour a few months after the European release. The band opted to present itself on metal festivals as also on mainstream festivals, due to the diversity they presents throughout their discography. [3] of The Heart of Everything, supporting Lacuna Coil, and appearing alongside In This Moment, Stolen Babies, The Gathering, and Kylesa. The tour, dubbed The Hottest Chicks in Metal Tour 2007. Lead vocalist Sharon den Adel classified it more of an "introductional" tour, as The Heart of Everything was not released in the United States yet. [4] And, with the release of The Heart of Everything on 24 July 2007, the band decided to kick off their first headlining US tour in Fall 2007. The band played 13 shows, starting on 5 September 2007, in Boston and ended on 23 September 2007, in Tempe, Arizona.

At the end of 2007, the band professionally recorded a sold-out show for 8,000 visitors at the Beursgebouw, in The Netherlands, for a possible future DVD. On 7 February 2008, the band performed a special show accompanied by The Metropole Orchestra, the Pa'dam Choir, and special guests including George Oosthoek (ex-Orphanage), Anneke van Giersbergen of Agua de Annique and Mina Caputo of Life of Agony filmed by 14 HD cameras at the Ahoy Arena in Rotterdam, with an attendance of 10.000 people.
