To the End of the Earth Tour is the second concert tour by Australian recording artist Jessica Mauboy, but her first solo headlining national tour. There are 27 shows in metropolitan and regional Australia, running from November 2013 to January 2014. Launched to support the release of her third studio album, Beautiful (2013), the tour began on 7 November 2013 in Adelaide, South Australia. A diverse set of songs from the studio albums Been Waiting, Get 'Em Girls and Beautiful, along with covers and songs from The Sapphires are part of the tour.
In July 2013, Mauboy announced the To the End of the Earth Tour, a national tour presented by Nescafé to celebrate its global 75th anniversary. Tickets for the tour went on sale on 5 August. Mauboy is also headlining a series of Nescafé intimate acoustic sessions in five cities. The tour has been choreographed by Marko Panzic. Mauboy said that her shows will take the audience on a "journey from (her) early career right up to now" and noted that "it's time to look back and then look forward." Mauboy says that the tour creates "one big party atmosphere" and that there will be "fun costumes, an amazing band, it's a big show." Mauboy is playing two shows at the Darwin Entertainment Centre, in her hometown Darwin, and said that it would be "amazing" to have all her friends, family and familiar faces in the audience.
The setlist also includes an encore of "Inescapable" and "Pop a Bottle (Fill Me Up)". The five acts consisted of songs from:
