Just a day later, on 17 June, Headie officially announced his UK, Australia, and Ireland tour, beginning 4 October 2024 at Promiseland Festival in Gold Coast, Queensland, and concluding on 5 March 2025 at Plaza Club in Zürich.[15] [16] On 19 June, Headie released the album's official tracklist, followed by the release of "Tipsy" just two days later on 21 June.[17] [18]
