LOS ANGELES, CA — Rock band The Pretty Reckless has officially announced their 'Dear God' World Tour, a global trek that sources close to the band confirm is less about performing music and more about providing irrefutable proof of a higher power. The tour's title, according to an unnamed deity-adjacent publicist, is a direct invocation, challenging the heavens to either acknowledge or smite the group's continued existence.

“Frankly, we’ve been operating under the assumption that if there *was* a God, they’d have stepped in by now,” stated band manager Brenda G. Hellsing, speaking from a heavily fortified bunker. “This tour is our final, definitive test. If the universe doesn't collapse into a singularity of pure rock energy by the third encore in Helsinki, then we’ll know for sure: God is either a massive fan or simply doesn’t care.”

The tour is set to visit 47 cities across six continents, each chosen for its historical or spiritual significance, maximizing the potential for divine intervention. Concert venues have reportedly been outfitted with extra lightning rods and emergency exits, just in case. Theological scholars are already debating whether a sold-out stadium show constitutes a legitimate 'sign from above.'

“It’s a bold move, spiritually speaking,” commented Dr. Alistair Finch, Professor of Esoteric Rock Studies at the University of Southern California. “Most bands just want to sell tickets. The Pretty Reckless is essentially performing a global, high-decibel exorcism of cosmic indifference.”

Tickets go on sale Friday, with many fans reportedly purchasing them as a hedge against the apocalypse.
