It commenced in September 2023 with a North American leg across arenas in the United States and Canada, marking their biggest tour yet in the region.[2][3][4] In 2024, the band will stage the world's first ever "carbon-removed" events across their four shows at the O2 Arena in London.[5]
Background
In May 2023, during the band's headlining show at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Scotland, frontman Matty Healy was noted to wear a lab coat with a "Matty" name tag which was a departure from his At Their Very Best tour wardrobe.[6] By June, the band's social media accounts posted promotional materials about a new concert tour including a poster of Healy kneeling on a patch of grass wearing a lab coat.[7][1]
The fourth episode of the band's A Theatrical Performance of an Intimate Moment short film webseries shows Healy in a laboratory discarding a lab coat with the name tag "Truman Black",[8] a known alias of Healy's, and choosing to wear the lab coat with the name tag "Matty".[9] On 23 September, Healy posted a political campaign-type of video centering on redemption to promote the tour.[10]
World's first "carbon-removed" events
The band's four shows at the the O2 Arena in London in 2024 will mark the world's first-ever carbon-removed events.[5] This involves CO2 generated by the events – from the light show to the audience – being physically sucked out of the air, as well as more traditional techniques such as planting trees and spreading CO2 absorbing volcanic rock on farmland, where it also acts as a fertiliser.[11]
