Frontwoman, Sade, described touring as being on a thrill ride at an amusement park. Additional dates in Europe and North America followed. During this time, American recording artist John Legend was revealed to be the opening act for the North American leg of the tour. At the start of 2011, the album was nominated for two Grammy Awards, prompting the band to add additional dates in the U.S. Soon after, dates in the United Kingdom and Europe were announced as well-giving the band its first performances in nearly two decades. Advertised as a world tour, the initial announcement showed ten dates in the Southeastern United States. Concurrently, the announcement of the tour followed the band's recent studio album, Soldier of Love, certified platinum in the United States. Shortly, media outlets began to buzz over the tour. The tour was officially announced on 30 September 2010 via press release. At the conclusion of 2011, the tour placed tenth on Billboard's annual, "Top 25 Tours", earning over $50 million with 59 shows. The tour ranked 27th in Pollstar's "Top 50 Worldwide Tour (Mid-Year)", earning over 20 million dollars. This trek marked the band's first tour in nearly a decade.
