The 30-date arena tour follows Caesar's triumphant night at the Juno Awards, where he took home honors for his latest work.

This achievement marks both his first number-one album and first Top 10 entry. Shortly after this success, Caesar performed Who Knows on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, further amplifying his growing prominence.
The album features notable collaborations with artists including Sampha, Bon Iver, Blood Orange, Yebba, 646yf4t, and Caesar's own father, Norwill Simmonds. Born Ashton Dumar Norwill Simmonds, Caesar continues to blend personal and artistic influences in his work.
