Tour

In support of the album, the duo embarked on the World War Joy Tour in fall 2019 alongside Australian band, 5 Seconds of Summer and Canadian musician Lennon Stella. [41] This tour was different from their previous shows since they are playing a fully live show, and not a hybrid DJ set/live show like the Memories...Do Not Open Tour and some of their festival performances. Matt McGuire returned as drummer as well as serving as music director. The tour took place across various arenas in 41 North American cities. [42]
