The Burn the Ships World Tour was the fifth headlining concert tour by Australian christian rock band For King & Country. The tour was by far their longest, and was their first tour to go outside of the United States and Canada. The band performed over 130 shows in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the Philippines. The first leg of the tour began in fall 2018, and the last leg of the tour concluded in spring 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.

Background

For King & Country announced the Burn the Ships | Album Release Tour, presented by AEG, to support the album in August 2018. The tour ran from 2 to 27 October 2018 with For King & Country performing in a dozen shows across the United States, commencing the tour at the Shubert Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts, and ending the tour at the Moore Theatre in Seattle, Washington.

In November 2018, For King & Country announced that they will be embarking on the Burn the Ships | World Tour 2019, also in support of the album, with Josh Baldwin set to perform on select dates. The tour launched on 26 January 2019 at the La Vida Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand and concluded on 20 April 2019 at the Julie Rogers Theatre in Beaumont, Texas, with stops in cities across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, the Philippines and the United States.

On 30 April 2019, the duo announced the fall addition of the Burn the Ships World Tour, which visited arenas in the United States and Canada. The tour began on 26 September 2019 at the CURE Insurance Arena in Trenton, New Jersey, and concluded at on 24 November 2019 the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina.

In December 2019, the band announced a new Canadian leg of the tour, with stops in eight cities, which was set begin at the TD Place Arena in Ottawa on 12 March 2020 and end at the Orpheum in Vancouver on 24 March 2020. This leg was suspended, then cancelled after COVID-19 pandemic in Canada set in after the show at the Meridian Hall in Toronto on 13 March. In 2023, over 3 years and 1,000 days after the Canadian dates were originally scheduled, the band toured back in Canada at the same venues and locations that were originally scheduled, as part of their What Are We Waiting For Tour.
