To promote the album, Tinashe announced her 333 Tour, with Rei Ami as the supporting act.[15] In less than one week after pre-sale and general tickets were made available, several dates were sold out, prompting new dates to be added. The concert tour will also be available to worldwide audience as a livestream concert event, in partnership with Moment House, which will be the "exclusive digital tour experience" and is promised to be "specially crafted for at-home fans around the world".[16][17]
