On August 14, 2021, Platt announced his second concert tour to promote Reverie, scheduled to begin on February 23, 2022.[13] The tour was later postponed due to the COVID pandemic and rescheduled to begin on September 3, 2022 in Seattle, Washington before concluding in Miami, Florida on October 7, 2022, for a total of 20 stops.[14] The tour featured Aly & AJ and Chappell Roan[15] as its opening act. The set list included songs from Reverie, his first album Sing to Me Instead, some covers, and some Broadway tunes.[16]

Platt played tribute to the closing of Broadway’s Dear Evan Hansen on September 18, 2022, by performing "Waving Through a Window" at the Nashville stop of the tour.[17]
