- To date, the tour has the most countries and the most performing artists out of any Poppy tour.
- Kailee Morgue and Jaira Burns were originally going to be the opening acts for the North American leg of the tour; however, the dates were pushed back, resulting in them being unable to attend. Despite this, Kailee Morgue remained the opening act for the Halloween show at The Wiltern.
- Nicole Dollanganger was originally going to be the opening act for the Westward Festival of the tour; however, she later decided to not be an opening act for personal reasons.
- The Eurasia setlist was inconsistent between shows, with "Chic Chick" and "My Microphone" occasionally changing spots and "Lowlife" not being performed at some shows.
- Poppy's setlist at The Orpheum was slightly different from the preceding North American shows, as "Immature Couture" was not played, and her cover of "Dreams" was replaced by her cover of "Metal". This revised setlist would go on to be the new setlist at subsequent shows.
- Furthermore, "Pop Music" was removed from the setlist for the show at Belly Up, but it returned to the setlist at subsequent shows.
