2021 2022 tour promo.jpg
The Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 Tour was The Midnight's first tour since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dates for a Spring 2021 Tour in Europe were announced in the summer of 2020 before being pushed back to the following year. The North American dates were announced in April 2021. In March 2022, it was announced that all European dates except for the UK and Ireland were canceled due to continuing COVID-19 concerns. Several notable changes were made to the band's live format during this tour. First appearing during The Midnight Online, Royce Whittaker was added as a full-time touring member, playing guitar alongside fellow Jupiter Winter member Lelia Broussard. For the first time, Tim McEwan played with a full drum kit. The November 27 show in Los Angeles was streamed live on Veeps. The lineup consisted of Tim McEwan on drums, Tyler Lyle on guitar and vocals, Jesse Molloy on saxophone, Lelia Broussard on bass and guitar, and Royce Whittaker on guitar. During the spring North American dates, Molloy and Whittaker were replaced by Justin Klunk and Chris Kuffner, respectively. Whittaker returned to the lineup after the conclusion of the tour, with Klunk staying on as the band's saxophonist. Supporting acts on the tour were Jupiter Winter, Nightly, and Goose.
