History

edit

The tour encompasses a vast array of venues, some being large arenas such as the Kia Forum and the Pacific Coliseum. Frontman Stu Mackenzie has said about the band's increase in popularity:

From where I'm sitting, honestly, it all feels very abstract. It's insanely flattering and humbling and just freaky, but it sometimes feels like it's happening to someone else and I'm just acting this part. Really, I'm extremely grateful, because we get energy from the whole thing. It's like a beautiful spiral of positivity. As long as people are willing to come watch us play, I'm pretty sure we're going to just keep playing.[2]
