The Time Machine World Tour

The Time Machine World Tour is the third tour made by Australian singer-songwriter Darren Hayes as solo artist. The tour was undergone in support of Hayes' third studio album, This Delicate Thing We've Made. The tour was performed in two-halves - the first half, called Club Delicacy, is a pre-release gigs, consists of nightclub and music festival gigs, and included songs from previous albums, few new songs and several covers, most notably, Madonna's "Dress You Up". The second half has more production including choreography and decorations, such as a giant bridge and origami-made bird. After the main tour completed in October, Darren embarked on a small US tour during November where he did six acoustic gigs in The Borders Book chain stores.[1]
