The Burn the Ships World Tour was the 5th headlining concert tour by Australian christian rock band For King & Country. The tour was by far their longest, and was their first tour to go outside of the United States and Canada. The band performed over 130 shows in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the Philippines. The first leg of the tour began in fall 2018, and the last leg of the tour concluded in spring 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.
