The Drain Gang 2022 World Tour was a 35 date Drain Gang tour across the UK, USA, Canada, and Europe, which took place between February 27 and September 17, 2022. This tour was the first full-lineup Drain Gang tour, as Thaiboy Digital was unable to attend the previous years' Eversince Tour and Fiend Tour. Additionally, this was the first time Drain Gang solo toured the USA, only playing two shows in 2017 during the Fiend Tour, and playing as support for Yung Lean during the Black Marble and Warlord Tours.
The entirety of the 2022 World Tour was supported by Varg2™, with special appearances from Cartier God, Woesum, Golin and DJ Billybool at select dates.
