Sia concert chronology

The Nostalgic for the Present Tour was the fifth concert tour by Australian recording artist Sia.[1] The 23-date North American leg of the tour, which featured opening acts Miguel and AlunaGeorge, began at Seattle, Washington's KeyArena on 29 September 2016 and concluded on 6 November 2016 at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas.[2][3] Maddie Ziegler toured with Sia, together with several other onstage dancers,[4][5] executing Ryan Heffington's choreography on the stage, while Sia sang at the rear of the stage with her face covered by her familiar wig.[6][7] The tour received positive reviews from critics.[8]

In November and December 2017, Sia conducted the second leg of the tour, her first stadium tour in Australia, accompanied by Ziegler.[9][10]
