The tour follows the release of McMorrow's seventh studio album Wide Open, Horses featuring the singles Never Gone, Give Up, Call Me Back, and Things We Tell Ourselves.
He said of the record: "To me, the album is about finding relief from the cycle of life's pressure. I don't think the theory 'modernity equals better’ holds much water these days. The more technology we add, the more unhappy everyone seems to be.
"I don’t want to move backwards, but I felt a sense of nostalgia and happiness in the album. It would be grandiose of me to think I could offer you some profound release through words and lyrics, but maybe I can…The job is to make a record I love and hopefully offer a respite. Maybe we can all get back to a life where we aren’t so obsessed with trying to seek out meaning from absolutely everything."
