Following the success of his singles and his album, Nathan and his label officially announced a world tour at the end of November.

Rehearsals took place as soon as the tour was announced; Banks and his backing dancers would rehearse for up to 14 hours a day. Banks has said numerous times that he has had many people doubt his capability of doing such an energetic tour; but this only provoked him to work harder to prove those who doubted him. The Tour itself has gained critical acclaim from reviewers, who have branded Banks a "natural born performer" due to the stunts and the dance routine's involved within the different songs on the tour. Nathan has had some guest artists in different countries; in Bridgeport he was accompanied by Lola Belle; he has also been accompanied on stage by [[Emmy Starr]], [[Tom Wordy]] and [[Dina Caliente]]. A few tour dates were cancelled at the start of April 2013, after Banks suffered a broken leg following a fall on stage. Many tickets were refunded, but some ticket holders complained about the cancellation, claiming that Banks could have simply "not danced" during the show instead. This promted Will Wright to take to twitter to show people that Nathan's leg was too bad for him to walk, and that the doctors had requested that he rest before performing again.
