The Fear the Future Tour was an international concert tour by American singer St. Vincent, which supported her fifth studio album Masseduction (2017). The tour started on October 7, 2017, in Los Angeles, United States and concluded on February 26, 2018 in Tulsa, United States. The production was unique in that St. Vincent performed it as a one-woman show, appearing solo onstage for the entirety of the set with no backing band. The show featured only her live guitar and vocals with an instrumental track. {{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/blogs/st-vincent-brixton-academy-divided-much-opinion-2151289|title=St Vincent's London show was one of the most divisive gigs of the year|author=Trendell, Andrew|work=NME|publisher=BandLab Technologies|date=October 18, 2017|access-date=June 22, 2021}}

Background

After releasing her self-titled fourth studio album in 2014, Clark toured extensively during that year and 2015, entering on a hiatus of nearly two years thereafter. Even before any official announcement of the first single "New York" and the album Masseduction, on June 21, 2017, the singer announced the Fear the Future Tour, with a video titled "A Very Special Announcement" on YouTube and a press release containing the first dates in North America and Europe.{{cite web |url= https://shorefire.com/releases/entry/st.-vincent-unveils-fear-the-future-tour/ |title= St. Vincent Unveils Fear the Future Tour |publisher= Shore Fire Media |access-date= June 17, 2021 |author= Shore Fire Media}}{{cite web |url= https://consequence.net/2017/06/st-vincent-announces-2017-fear-the-future-tour/ |title= St. Vincent Announces 2017 Fear the Future Tour |publisher= Consequence |access-date= June 17, 2021 |author= Geslani, Michelle|date= 21 June 2017 }}

On November 6, 2017, Clark announced a new North American leg for 2018, with mainly East Coast dates.{{cite web |url= https://www.undertheradarmag.com/news/st._vincent_announces_new_2018_tour_dates/ |title= St. Vincent Announces new 2018 Tour Dates |publisher= Under the Radar |access-date= June 17, 2021 |author= Roberts, Christopher}}
