Background
Faith stated, of her 7 September show at Bestival: "Bestival is the best festival because everyone gets dressed up and I will be too, dressing my band up... It's so perfect that I should be invited to play at this festival this year because my new album, which is called A Perfect Contradiction, was all influenced by the history of soul music, particularly disco. So, I was listening to artists like Candi Staton, Prince, Chaka Khan, Gloria Gaynor, all of those types of artists, Parliament, Funkadelic, the lot... It is my favourite festival without a doubt, I’m so excited, see you there!"[1] She also made the comment that: "I am incredibly excited to perform this new album live. It's a real ‘get up and dance’ record so let's do that and bring the roof down!"
Faith announced dates for Australia and the United States and a UK arena tour in August–September 2014.[2][3][4] On 22 September 2014, Faith announced the postponement of her European dates from December 2014 to February 2015.[5] She also announced the cancellation of an Oregon date on 2 October 2014.[6]
In January 2015 it was announced that Faith would perform at the seven concerts of 2015's edition of the Forest Live festival. Faith previously appeared at the 2013 events.[7] Additional concerts at several music festivals were announced in January 2015, as well as a Croatian concert.
