The Fall 2023 North American Tour was the sixth concert tour by The Midnight.[1] Announced in April 2023, the tour began on September 16, 2023, in Atlanta, Georgia, and concluded on October 21, 2023, in Monterrey, Mexico. With the exception of the final two dates which took place in Mexico, all shows were in the United States.
The Fall 2023 North American Tour featured a diverse array of songs from across all of The Midnight's releases. The tour saw Tim McEwan return to the front of the stage playing synths and pads, having previously performed with a full drum kit since the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 Tour. During the tour, the band played for the first time at the music festivals Music Midtown in Atlanta and Live Out in Monterrey. Additionally, they opened for ODESZA on their The Last Goodbye Tour on October 19, 2023, The Midnight's first time being a supporting act and their first performance in Mexico since 2019.
25 shows were performed over the span of six weeks, the longest individual run of shows for The Midnight since they began touring in 2018. The band's lineup, unchanged since the spring leg of the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 Tour, consisted of Tim McEwan on percussion and synths, Tyler Lyle on guitar and vocals, Lelia Broussard on guitar and bass, Royce Whittaker on guitar, and Justin Klunk on saxophone.

America Online[2] is a song by The Midnight. It is the first single and second track from their album Monsters. The single was released on May 13, 2019.[1]
The song was written by band members Tim McEwan and Tyler Lyle and produced by McEwan. It has a running time of five minutes and 49 seconds and is in the key of B minor.
During a tour stop in the Spring 2019 Tour about a month before the single's release, the band talked with NewRetroWave about America Online:[3]In an interview with Magnetic Magazine after the release of Monsters, The Midnight further stated:[4]As a kid you’re sort of [disconnected] from the world… But when you’re in your teenage years, everything is sort of inner-conflict, relationships, all happening at once. The tensions of romantic love, acceptance in groups and things like that. …it’s not a sunset right? It’s more of a sort of blog track. I love going on vaporwave track playlists on youtube. I love the low-grade, low-fi, bitcrushed sound – it’s like that but with a bit more of a cleaner palette, a cleaner mix. So, that one will set the tone. Tyler is definitely on it, but in a bit more of a…vocodery way.
Tim: This sets the tone for our album. We’re in the era of connectivity. Gone are the days of being a kid, riding around on bikes, exploring the world around you. You’re a teen now and your nights are spent online in your bedroom, logged onto chat rooms, while the door to your parents is shut and you are searching for your own identity.
Tyler: This track was basically done and we’d decided to do it as an instrumental, but at the last minute I decided to try and write something. By that time we knew what the album was about roughly. This became the premise of the record- is love necessarily reciprocal- is hate? What is intimacy without proximity? Are we really connected at the bottom of all of this, especially when “all of this” is mediated by so many layers that seem un-human.
According to McEwan, the synth used in the opening of America Online is Serum with EchoMelt 2 added to get the uneven tape jitter effect.[5] The vocoder used is a mix of VocalSynth 2 from iZotope and BitSpeek.
The date on the single artwork for America Online is August 6, 1991, which is the day the world's first website was published by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN.[6][7]
