For You was the third headlining concert tour by American singer-songwriter Monica Vinco, launched in support of her fourth studio album, A Sorta Homecoming (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. The tour was announced on December 24, 2021, and marked Vinco's debut in Australia and Puerto Rico. It officially began on May 8, 2022, in Brisbane, and concluded on October 26, 2022, in Sunrise; 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 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, A Sorta Homecoming, 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 was announced as a headliner for the July 9 and 10 dates of London's British Summer Time festival.

On November 5, A Sorta Homecoming was released to a mixed-to-positive reception in the United States, but quickly became her best-selling album abroad. The following week, the For You tour was announced with nine Australian and eight European shows, supported by Troye Sivan and Sabrina Carpenter, respectively. Presale began on November 15, 2022, followed by the general sale on November 18. The same day of the general sale, the Australian leg was expanded to eighteen shows, due to "extraordinary" demand. By the end of the month, eleven more dates in Europe were announced, including her first-ever stadium concerts.

Eighteen North American shows, supported by American acts Dove Cameron and JoJo, were announced on January 5, to honor Vinco's 21st birthday. By February, several more were added, including a new batch of dates with St. Vincent as the supporting act.

Rehearsals started at Harlem Stage in New York City, and Vinco hosted Saturday Night Live on April 2. On May 10, Vinco was announced as a headliner for Austin City Limits, along with two shows in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

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.
