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]
