A group statement explains, “We are touring with our new album Small Town, Big Love, Little Homes, and by the time we tour in India, all the songs won’t be released, but we will be performing the album in its entirety on this tour.”

In August 2026, the band will take their music from India to England, Scotland, Dublin, Cork, Germany, and the Netherlands. The following month, they will tour across Canada and the U.S. with 12 shows, before heading to Melbourne, Sydney, and Adelaide from October 31 to November 7, 2026. Additional dates will be announced soon.

The tour marks their fourth consecutive year of touring in India and abroad. “This time we are all taking a step back and evaluating how we should treat touring/live performances so that it’s more sustainable for us as a band. Keeping these in mind, for the next 10-12 months, these will be the only shows we do in the regions of the tour,” the band adds in a statement.
