They also performed three intimate club shows in Glasgow, Manchester and London.[3] They performed one show in Sydney to showcase new material from #3 as well as tracks from previous albums.[4] The North American leg began in New York City on 9 October with a further 18 shows across the United States and Canada.[5] On 18 September, A twelve date arena tour of Ireland and the United Kingdom was announced for March 2013.[6] Before returning to Australia, the band performed in South Korea, at Seoul's AX Hall. The band then returned to Australia to perform their biggest tour yet down under with four shows across the country.[7] The final show of the tour was on 12 April at the Vector Arena in Auckland New Zealand marking the band's first concert there and the closure of the official #3 world tour. Over the summer of 2013 they continued to promote their album at several summer music festivals, as well as playing as the opening act for Train.
