The Good Witch Comes To..Tour was a headlining concert tour by English singer-songwriter Maisie Peters in support of her sophomore studio album, The Good Witch (2023). The album was released on 23 June 2023. The tour commenced on 7 August 2023 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, and concluded on 23 March 2024 in Melbourne, Australia. Over the course of the tour, Peters preformed 53 shows in 51 cities, spanning three continents (North America, Europe, & Oceania). The tour structure comprised three legs and featured four different openers across various regions.
Background and Development
[edit]Peters' second album, The Good Witch, was written over the span of approximately a year while she was touring in 2022. It was described as her "twisted version of a breakup album," blending career highs and personal lows. To promote the album, Peters planned a major global headlining tour, which aligned with her increased profile and previous experience opening for major artists. In October 2022 it was announced that Peters would support Ed Sheeran on his +-=÷x (Mathematics) Tour in Australia, Asia, and beyond. This support role overlapped with her own touring.
Following the release of The Good Witch in June 2023, Peters announced the tour via social media, teasing a "spellbinding" live experience that would bring the album's narrative to the stage. The tour title referenced the album's concept of reinvention, heartbreak, and reclaiming power after emotional upheaval.
Compared to her previous tours, the production featured larger venues, enhanced staging, and a more theatrical visual identity. Peters described the tour as an opportunity to fully embody the album's themes and characters, often referring to it as "the most honest and fun show" she had ever put together.
In July 2022, prior to the release of The Good Witch, Peters posted a rewritten, gender-flipped version of Noah Kahan's song "Stick Season" on TikTok. The video, shared on 12 July 2022, quickly gained traction on the platform, amassing nearly 120,000 likes and over one million views within days. The viral response to the cover contributed to Peters' growing online presence in the lead-up to her second album and later influenced her setlist during The Good Witch Comes To...Tour. During select performances on the tour's UK and Australian legs, Peters incorporated her version of "Stick Season" as part of her live repertoire, often preforming it as a mid-set fan favorite alongside material from The Good Witch and her debut album You Signed Up for This. The songs inclusion reflected both the personal storytelling themes of her tour and her engagement with contemporary singer-songwriter influences. Singer Olivia Rodrigo later cited Peters' TikTok rendition as an inspiration for her own cover of "Stick Season," which she performed and released during her Guts World Tour cycle, further highlighting the viral cover's influence among pop artists.
Emily Chung with Huntington News said, "Peters was a lively and animated performer, making use of the entire stage and encouraging fans in the sold-out venue to scream their hearts out during every song."
Concert Synopsis
[edit]Shows typically opened with dramatic lighting and a spoken interlude before transitioning into an upbeat performance of the title track song, The Good Witch. The setlist balanced high-energy pop tracks with striped-back acoustic moments, allowing Peters to interact directly with the audience through storytelling and humor. For example, before singing Run, Peters found a couple in the audience and asked for one part of the couple to give their partners red flags.
The stage is set up with big, white, bold blown-up letters that spell out The Good Witch and the band's instruments. The band comes out and performance the beginning of The Good Witch along with a prerecorded audio file and Peters comes out to the lyrics, "I guess when it kicks in." During the concert, Peters uses a microphone stand that has a stack of friendship bracelets on it.
