The Never Find My Place Tour (originally announced as the Flux Tour) was the fifth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Poppy, staged in support of her fourth studio album, Flux. The tour began on March 8, 2022, in Sacramento, California and ended prematurely on November 29, 2022, in Manchester, England after the singer announced she was too ill to perform the final Glasgow and Amsterdam shows.

In November 2022, weeks before the beginning of the leg, Poppy announced the cancellation of the rest of the tour's European dates via Instagram Stories, except for those in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, citing "…the current climate of the world and the difficulty it presents to touring musicians…".{{Efn|Poppy said of the situation, "We have considered all options and unfortunately, we need to cancel a few European dates on the NFMP tour.
