The North American leg of the tour was announced on May 16 , 2016 . From May to August , Sia performed nearly a dozen festival and other concerts in America and European and Middle Eastern countries , establishing the format that she would use on the Nostalgic for the Present Tour , with her dance troupe and video projections , while wearing her " huge white bow hat over a black and white wig covering her face . " Ryan Heffington , the choreographer for both the stage performances and the recorded tour visuals , first met Sia in 2013 . Their collaborations , beginning with the " Chandelier " video in 2014 , for which he won a VMA Award , have " done more to raise the standards of dance in pop music than nearly any current artist integrating the forms . " In November and December 2017 Sia concluded the second leg of the tour , a stadium mini-tour in Oceania . With these dates , she became the third female soloist to play Australian stadiums in the past quarter century , after Taylor Swift ( 2013 's Red Tour and 2015 's 1989 Tour ) and Madonna ( 1993 's Girlie Show Tour ) .
