The Album Series Tour 2023 (cancelled and rescheduled to 2024)

The Album Series Tour featuring Relayer was set to take place in May and June 2023, after being rescheduled for the third time. Only the mainland European dates were rescheduled. The Luxembourg date, which the band was not able to accommodate in the 2022 tour, was added back.[11] A UK leg was later added.[13]

On 17 March 2023, the band announced that all dates would be postponed until 2024 (except for the final London date, which was cancelled) due to a failure to obtain insurance coverage for COVID-19 and acts of war (specifically mentioning the Russian invasion of Ukraine), with new dates to be announced "shortly".[14]
