Background

In 2020, the effects of the [[WP>COVID-19 pandemic|COVID-19 pandemic]] disrupted The Midnight's plans to tour and promote their newest album, Monsters. During this time, the band released horror_show, a Halloween-themed EP, and also performed a one-time live-streamed show, the_midnight_online. Dates for a Spring 2021 European tour had been announced in the summer, but in January 2021 the dates were pushed to the following year due to lingering effects of COVID-19.[2][3]

On April 24, 2021, the band's social media platforms teased a "big announcement" to come the following Tuesday.[4] On that day (April 27), the tour was officially announced with 15 dates over a span of three weeks.[5] It will be The Midnight's first tour in nearly two years following the fall_2019. The announcement post stated that fans could expect a "new show" with a "bigger band". Presales of tickets began the same day, later opening to the general public on April 29.[6] On June 8, another leg of 19 North American dates to take place in Spring 2022 was announced, as well as an additional show in [[WP>Vancouver|Vancouver]].[7] Initial sales for tickets were strong, with VIP tickets for the November 27 show in Los Angeles selling out within minutes.[8] After the initial tour announcement, The Midnight announced a September 25 show at The Observatory North Park in [[WP>San Diego|San Diego]], preceding their performance the following day at the CRSSD Festival.[9] Another show was added for October 29 in [[WP>San Francisco|San Francisco]] to take place at The Independent, the day before the band played at [[WP>Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival|Outside Lands]].[10]

During an interview with Vehlinggo in July 2021, more details about the tour were revealed by tim_mcewan.[11] Royce Whittaker, who was previously part of the band's live lineup during the_midnight_online, will be added as a permanent touring member. McEwan will also be performing with a full drum kit for the first time. For the Spring leg of the tour, Chris Kuffner and Justin Klunk will fill in for Whittaker and saxophonist jesse_molloy.[12][13]

On March 4, 2022, it was announced that all European dates on the tour except for the UK and Ireland were canceled due to continuing COVID-19 concerns.[14]
