Back to Ditch

**The Back to Ditch Tour** is a tour that Kermit da Frog will embark on. The tour is in support of Kermit's second studio album Ditch.

## History

In 2015, in an attempt to regain relevance, Kermit da Frog released his first studio album Sad Worm. The album had overriding themes of self-reflection, mental health and conflicts with the law. The titular Sad Worm is a re-recurring character throughout the songs as a metaphysical amalgamation of stress for Kermit that he seeks to overcome. The album was a lazy and shameless knock-off of Twenty One Pilots and their album Blurryface. However, for completely incomprehensible, Kermit's remaining fans adored the album. In 2018, Kermit released the follow-up to coincide with Twenty One Pilots's Trench; Ditch. Ditch played even heavier into the storytelling aspect Sad Worm was praised for, with Kermit now finding himself in the strange world known as The Ditch where the Sad Worm from the last album operates under the alias of M. Dasrow (which is itself is an anagram for Sad Worm) and rules the city of Sadsville with other members of The Evil Red Hood Gang: Terget, Heleft, Scartha, Shoto, Ormula, Pethe and Nabe (all nonsense names taken from lyrics of songs on Sad Worm). To combat them, Kermit joins forces with the rebellious Emos, identifiable by their yellow hoodies and golden skull masks. This album continues and expands upon the overriding themes of Sad Worm with added themes of rebellion, death, emotional support and overall angst. The album was praised by fans for it's stronger and surprisingly insightful lyrics (the best of which were written while Kermit was drunk). Critics however, refused to even give the album the time of day.

When Sad Worm was released, Kermit performed a live show simply known as Sad Worm Live in which he performed the album for a small crowd of his fans. However, due to Kermit's problematic life choices, his agent had dissociated themself with the frog and there was no show of any kind for Ditch when it first released. In 2020 Kermit collaborated with Dale Nineteen and Earth's Mightiest Nerd on his third studio album Bare Bones. This re-awoke his passion for music and it inspired him to begin planning the Back to Ditch Tour and the multi-media event that would build up to it.
