For You was the third headlining concert tour by American singer-songwriter Monica Vinco, launched in support of her fourth studio album, You (2021). Following the death of her mother and the cancellation of the Y2K19 tour, Vinco went into a deep depression and went on a public hiatus. Through 2020 and 2021, Vinco occupied herself with other projects but was still interested in touring again. Announced on November 1, 2021, the tour officially began on May 10, 2022, in Brisbane, Australia, and concluded on October 26, 2022, in San Juan, Puerto Rico; comprising eighty-three shows.

Though the parent album was met with a lukewarm reception, the tour was a commercial and critical success. Citing it as a "return to form" for Vinco, critics and audiences lauded the visuals and dynamic themes, as well as the singer's showmanship and connection with her audience. By its conclusion, For You grossed $138.7 million and all shows were sold out. Both concerts in San Juan were recorded by Jonas Åkerlund for an HBO concert film of the same name released on December 31, 2022.

Background

On September 25, 2019, Vinco canceled the remaining dates of her first worldwide tour, Y2K19, following the death of her mother. After a public hiatus and select projects in television and film, she returned to music, announcing her fourth studio album, You, on September 10, 2021. During an interview with Hits Radio, Vinco stated she planned on touring in 2022 and focusing mostly on international dates but also visit the North American cities she cancelled in 2019. On November 1, Vinco announced a 22-date tour, entitled For You, including her first-ever headlining stadium concerts. Presale began on November 6, 2022, with the general sale taking place on November 10. The Australian leg was upgraded from six to eighteen dates, due to high demand, on the day of the general sale.

On November 5, You was released to a mixed-to-positive reception in the United States but quickly became her best-selling album abroad. On January 5, to honor Vinco's 21st birthday, fifteen more shows were announced.

Rehearsals started at Culver Studios in Culver Studios, California. On April 2, in honor of her hosting Saturday Night Live on April 2, Vinco announced a North American leg, including headlining dates for Austin City Limits and her first concerts in Puerto Rico. Additional dates were added by the end of the month.

Development

The set list of the tour was originally conceived to have over thirty songs from the singer's catalogue, but was trimmed to only twenty-three due to time restraints and the addition of more shows.

Commercial performance

Vinco's performances on July 22 and 23 at Stockholm's Tele2 Arena made her the first woman to headline the stadium for two consecutive nights, and broke attendance records for Tele2 Arena and GelreDome.
