Past & Present Tour

Past & Present Tour was the third headlining concert tour by American singer-songwriter Annie Hartford, in support of all her studio albums, including her then-latest, Sad But True. The tour began on August 17, 2022 in Montreal and concluded on June 13, 2023 in Central Area, comprising 54 concerts.
==Background and development==
Announced in February 2022:
“Happy to confirm my first tour in 3 years, promoting not one, but all four of my albums, including my latest ‘Sad But True’. I call it the Past & Present Tour. The first leg will visit arenas in the United States and Canada with shows in other countries to be announced ASAP.” — Tour announcement on Hartford's website and social media accounts
==Concert synopsis==
The show has 24 songs divided into five acts.
# Starting Out: Hartford emerges from a small staircase with an arch on the main stage in a halter top and flared pants. She opens the show with "Land of Broken Hearts" leading into "Dear Diary". A cloud of mint green smoke pops up from the pyro sections, representing Starting Out. Accompanied by seven female dancers, she performs "Happy & Sad" and "Vintage Crap" through a set resembling a dark cave and sings "I Hate Myself (Don't Know Why)" on a stool, followed by "No Plans (Unless I'm Included)".
# Philadelphia Girl: As blue smoke appears, the LED screen displays an anime version of Hartford riding a yellow motorcycle on a street in Center City Philadelphia, representing Philadelphia Girl. The real Hartford reappears in a metallic romper and gravity heels. She performs "All My Friends Are Tired" and "Rebellious Anthem" on the main stage, and "My Bad" on the second floor of the stage, all alongside her band.
# 2000: The stage adopts an aesthetic showing several landmarks in Harrisburg. Hartford reappears in a mermaid-oriented dress and begins singing "Pennsylvania", followed by a dark theme that leads to "My Mistake" and concludes the act with the charity single "Women Now".
# Surprise cover songs: Hartford, wearing a metallic V-neck bodysuit with a glittery crop top underneath, sings one "surprise cover song" on the main stage and another on the second floor.
# Sad But True: A cloud of pink dust crashes against the screen, revealing the anime version Hartford, who shoots a gold arrow, hitting the middle of the board. Eight dancers, four of each gender, carry out giant paper sunflowers as the real Hartford reemerges in a white coat-like dress and blue belt to sing "Raining in the Keystone State", followed by "Parachute" and "We're Making It Right". The dancers perform with glowsticks as Hartford sings "I Object" and undergoes an onstage costume change, reappearing in a sequined dress. She then sings "Arsenic", followed by "A Million Years Ago", "The Getaway Song", and "Boy with Claws". Hartford follows with "Deck of Cards" featuring choreography inspired by the song's music video. "Unbreakable" closes the show with confetti, while fireworks are involved at outdoor venues.
==Concert film==
The tour was supported by a concert film, titled Past & Present Tour: Live from the Kia Oval. It was released on July 28, 2023 exclusively. Directed by Phil Edgren, the film took place at the London concert held at the Kia Oval on May 12, 2023, where Hartford performed in front of nearly 25,000 people.

==Reaction==
The tour received overwhelmingly positive reviews from music critics, many of which gave total five-star ratings. A reviewer from Le Journal de Montréal said: "In act 1, Annie almost receded, but during the rest of the show she found purpose delivering ballads like ‘All My Friends Are Tired’, ‘Pennsylvania’, and ‘Women Now’ with punch, and closing out the likes of ‘Happy & Sad’, ‘Vintage Crap’, and ‘Unbreakable’ with real yearning, while her band mostly stayed out of her way." A Las Vegas Review-Journal comment of her Thomas & Mack Center concert judged her singing: "a joy to listen to, and Annie's over-the-top stage presence, glittery microphone, and enormous range mainly serve to remove fluke. This young woman is just phenomenal." The reviewer also noted that Hartford's takes on Little Mix's "Black Magic" and Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry" were a highlight. In reviewing her hometown concert at the Wells Fargo Center, the Philadelphia Inquirer called her voice: "insane in the best way. It's so nice to see Annie on the road again." At her Berlin stop: "Her greatest hits from all four albums and the surprise cover songs delighted everyone in the arena." In Tokorozawa: "Although one of the songs is called ‘I Object’, I don't object to this spectacular production at all."
