AJR concert chronology |
The Click Tour was the third concert tour by American indie pop band AJR, supporting their second studio album, The Click (2017). It ran from February 8, 2018, to December 21, 2018, and covered 46 shows across North America. The set list consisted primarily of songs from The Click, additionally including "I'm Ready" from Living Room (2015), "Don't Throw Out My Legos" from Neotheater (2019), and one cover per show.
Background and development
[edit]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]
