The first show of the tour took place at O'dell's in Baltimore, Maryland, with local synthpop band Moderation opening the show.[2] (see External links for video) Throughout the tour, various local bands in each city functioned as the opening act. The tour concluded with the final show in Richmond, Virginia.[2]

For the New York City and Cleveland dates, Marc Roselli, a Jesuit priest and brother of Lauren Roselli, joined Lauren and band onstage to perform his Sanctus section of "Counting The Rosaries".[3]

The setlist was heavy on both new Candy Carol album tracks (up to eight new songs), and tracks from their debut, Book of Love.[4]
