While promoting the album at several festival shows (including the iTunes Festival), the tour was marked to begin in Australia; October 2012. Dates in North America and Europe were revealed in November 2012. For the tour, the band has teamed up with Tickets-for-Charity, a charity offering tickets that supported charitable causes.

Additionally, the band has partnered with Mobile Roadie to create a free app to follow the band on tour. The app will feature the band's video history, along with, previews of their current album.

Critical response

The shows in Australia received moderate praise from music critics. Noel Mengel (The Courier-Mail) stated the shows at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, "restore his faith in modern rock 'n' roll", He says, "Matchbox pursue the middle path and they are very good at it. But after two hours of it, it seems the only one in the room who feels like smashing a guitar is me". For the two shows in Sydney, George Palathingal (The Canberra Times) gave the shows two and a half out of five stars. He explains, "[…] the songs follow such a similar pattern —big, promising opening guitar riffs lead to anthemic-but-generic soft-rock choruses, with Thomas's over-emoted vocals on top—that the set soon gets tiresome. Most in the room probably did 'have a good time tonight'. But that big finish was scant reward for those of us who just want better music throughout a headlining set". In Perth, the concert was deemed "an impressive evening" by Courtney Pearson (The West Australian). She says "They came back for an encore with synth-driven 'Put Your Hands Up' and 1997 hit 'Push', Thomas' voice so arresting you had to stand still and watch".
