Background and development

Following their second studio album The Click (2017), AJR announced the Click Tour on November 14 in the same year.[2] Tickets became available for sale on November 17, covering 32 dates between February and May 2018 in the US and Canada.[3] For the tour, AJR took inspiration from the non-standard artforms used by Blue Man Group, Stomp, and other Broadway productions,[4] consistently interacting with their audience and intending to make the concerts unpredictable.[5] All shows on the Click Tour sold out,[6] with the band additionally noting a wider age range at their shows. Band member Adam Met cited the success of "Sober Up" reaching number one on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart as a factor.[7]

The band announced a second leg of the Click Tour on June 22, 2018, with 14 dates between October and December.[8] In contrast to the previous leg containing every song on The Click,[9] several songs were removed and replaced with the newly released "Role Models" and the then unreleased "Don't Throw Out My Legos".[10] The latter would later appear on the band's third studio album, Neotheater (2019).[11] The show's How We Made segment was additionally used for "Burn the House Down" rather than "Drama".[12] During the November 4 show at Stage AE in Pittsburgh, AJR announced that they would donate a majority of the night's profits to those affected by the Tree of Life synagogue shooting.[10]
