Background

In 2015 Ben Rector released the album Brand New. The album, especially the single of the same name, was a commercial success and brought Rector to more mainstream attention; the album peaked at 9th on Billboard 200, and the song "Brand New" had 41 million streams on Spotify by 2019 and saw over 40 television and movie placements.[1] His headlining tour, The Brand New Tour spanning two legs, was equally successful; the first leg having 15 sold-out shows and selling over 41,000 tickets.[1]

In support of the touring success he followed up The Brand New Tour with The Biggest Tour I Have Done So Far Tour, the second headlining tour for Brand New spanning an additional 20 shows.[2] The tour featured opening acts from Jacob Whitesides and Colony House.[3][4] Bandmates that performed alongside Rector included Cody Fry and Cory Wong.[5][6] Crew for the tour included tour manager Jordan Powell, production manager Jake Hartfield, and lighting director Daniel Rehbein.[7] It was Rector's largest-scale tour at the time.[8] Having found that with prior tours were "out of control" despite his efforts, he felt more relaxed and willing with The Biggest Tour I Have Done So Far Tour.[9] Touring for Brand New spanned 73 dates,[10] and due to the additional touring efforts for The Biggest Tour I Have Done So Far Tour, his following album Magic was postponed until 2018.[1][11] It was the longest release gap between two of Rector's albums.[11]
