The tour visited metropolitan and regional areas in Australia.[1] In 2012, Sebastian announced that the title of his new album was to be Armageddon. Ahead of the album's release, Sebastian wen on a national tour. The tour took in 20 dates across the country in both metropolitan and regional centres, kicking off in Cessnock on 1 June 2012 before finishing up on the Sunshine Coast on 1 July 2012. Sebastian toured in places he has not toured before.
Sebastian toured nationally during June and July 2012. The 20 date tour had concerts in all capital cities and also in regional areas of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland. Originally scheduled to promote the album after its release, the tour became a showcase for the new songs.[2] An extra concert at the Palais Theatre, Victoria was added to film footage for the deluxe edition of the album.[3][4] Sebastian performed songs from previous albums as well as new songs.
