Synopsis

The tour started in January 2015 with a set of warm up shows in the UK and USA.[1] The full tour began in March across continental Europe, continuing in the United Kingdom following the release of the album Glitterbug.[2] This was followed by a tour of America in late April and May. The band then appeared in festivals across the world during the summer, including Splendour in the Grass where the band drew the largest crowd of the festival. The band followed this with additional tours of Europe, the United States and Australia, where they headlined the Byron Bay leg of Falls Festival on New Year's Eve. The tour concluded at the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on 3 January 2016.
