The Spiraling Tour was the third headlining concert tour by American singer-songwriter and producer Caroline Polachek, in support of her fourth studio album, and second under her name, ''
The shows often began with lights pouring over the stage and a cracked clock appearing on the screen, counting down from a minute. At the end of the minute, "Welcome to My Island" was performed as the opening track. For the headline concert dates, all 12 songs from ''Desire, I Want to Turn Into You'' were played, often continuing in a similar order as the album. The final song to play was "So Hot You're Hurting My Feelings", followed by a two-song encore of "Hopedrunk Everasking" and "Door". In a blog post, KOOP 91.7 Radio commented that "while most songs had a clear start and end, these blended together nicely".
The set featured a large volcano as the primary backdrop, with smoking billowing from the top, and other smaller volcano peaks being placed around the stage.
