Since playing their first live show in 2017, The Midnight have played over 175 shows spanning five tours, 12 festivals, and various other one-off shows. As of 2023, they have performed in North America, Europe, and Australia.

The band played their first two live shows in 2017 in the cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles. During the first two years of live performances, the touring lineup consisted of Tim McEwan, Tyler Lyle, and a saxophone player, who was most often Jesse Molloy. The Midnight did a short three show tour in the spring of 2018 before embarking on their first full tour in the fall of the same year, when they played 18 shows across North America. The Spring 2019 Tour marked the band's first time playing in Europe and Australia. With a desire to increase the production value and make a more authentic live show, Lelia Broussard was added to the touring lineup as a guitar and bass player beginning with the Fall 2019 Tour. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted The Midnight's touring plans for 2020, and the band instead performed an online-only show that fall, The Midnight Online. The show was notable for the addition of Royce Whittaker as a guitar player to the touring lineup, giving The Midnight a five-piece live band which they have continued to use ever since. The Midnight returned to touring with the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 Tour, which visited North America, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. The Change Your Heart Tour began in the fall of 2022 and saw the band make a full return to Europe for the first time since 2019. The band's next tour is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2023 and will take place in North America.

In addition to tours, The Midnight have also performed in 12 music festivals, with an additional two currently planned for 2023. Outside Lands, Austin City Limits, and Bonnaroo have been noted festival stops so far for the band. They have also performed in several online benefit shows and have done a few DJ sets. Most of the DJ set shows were done prior to the start of touring in 2018, but Tyler Lyle did a four show DJ set tour in December 2022, which featured new remixes of several The Midnight songs that have yet to be heard elsewhere.

Since the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 Tour, the band's touring lineup is composed of Tim McEwan on synths and percussion, Tyler Lyle on guitar and vocals, Lelia Broussard on guitar, Royce Whittaker on guitar, and Justin Klunk on saxophone.
