The Time Machine World Tour is the third tour made by Australian singer-songwriter Darren Hayes as solo artist. The tour was undergone in support of Hayes' third studio album, This Delicate Thing We've Made. The tour was performed in two halves - the first half targeted more smaller venues, such as nightclubs and minor music festivals, and included several covers, most notably, Madonna's "Dress You Up". The second half targeted major venues, and was highly theatrical, including more choreography and decorations, such as a giant bridge and origami-made bird. A performance of the tour at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre, which is in Hayes' hometown of Brisbane, Australia, made on 25 October 2007, which was the last night of the tour, was recorded and released on DVD. A deluxe version, exclusively available via Hayes' official website, was made available on 1 July 2008. A standard version was made available on 22 July 2008.
