–Official description | ||
How Did We Get Here? was an autobiographical tour. It was Jack's first ever tour, the second being Ready Player 3, and his first solo tour.
The first leg was held for ten days between March and April 2018. The second leg commenced between May and June 2018 and the third leg commenced between August and September 2018. A European leg began in October and concluded in November 2018.
Background[]
Jack first performed his tour during September 28th - 30th and October 1st 2017. Beforehand at the time, he explained that his tour was a different format to Ready Player 3 and did three shows to see how things went. He returned home to Brighton for four days to record more videos before leaving again for Ready Player 3.
He revealed in a later video that the weekend was a practice run for future touring and wished it to be a personal experience between him on stage and the fans. He requested the audience to keep their phones away and enjoy it through their own eyes, which was why there was not many photos or videos online of it.
In a February 2018 vlog titled "How Did We Get Here!?" Jack officially announced the dates and States for the first leg. He revealed the second and third legs in an April 2018 vlog, "People Have Been Waiting A Long Time For This!"
In a June 2018 vlog, "HUGE Announcement!", Jack announced he would perform his show at the 'Just For Laughs' festival in Montreal, Canada. On August 29th 2018, he released a video, "The Jacksepticeye Audition", promoting the European leg.
