   The K-12 Tour is Melanie Martinez's third international tour that began in October 2019 and ended in December 2019.

Background[]

The tour was officially announced on July 29th, 2019, with Lauren Ruth Ward joining as an opening act for the North American dates.[1] Fans who pre-ordered the album up until August 5th gained early access to tickets.[2] Tickets went on sale on August 9th, 2019,[3] and Naaz confirmed she would be opening for the European dates of the tour.[4] A dollar from every ticket sold went to the Trevor Project, a non-profit organization focused on suicide prevention efforts amongst LGBT+ youth.[5]

Melanie confirmed that shows in the tour would have intermissions and choreography reflecting the story of K-12. She stated, "It's been a bit since I've been on tour and I'm incredibly excited to bring the movie to life on stage. I'm putting all of my energy into making it not only visually stunning and pleasing to the senses but also a fun learning experience and a safe place to express yourself and be accepted for exactly who you are".[5]

Trivia[]

  • Seven of the tour's dates were postponed to be part of the K-12 Tour: Part 2 instead due to Melanie having severe laryngitis and upper respiratory infection symptoms.
    • Possibly due to this, Melanie cancelled the show in Anaheim, California on November 10, 2019, which led her to perform the All Hallows Eve concert at the House of Blues in Anaheim two years later on October 31, 2021
    • While she was recovering, Melanie wrote "Numbers" for her upcoming extended play (EP), After School on November 20, 2019, the day she was originally supposed to perform in Seattle
  • The band is dressed as K-12 Sleepaway School teachers.
  • Due to Melanie being sick, she wasn't able to perform "Recess", "Sippy Cup", "Alphabet Boy", and "Fire Drill" at some shows.
  • During Naaz's opening act at a show, Melanie's late dog, Mouse, ran on stage.
