The band kicked off the tour in May in Europe before heading to their homeland and New Zealand in mid-June. Then they began the North American leg in July.
The gig Sunday was bittersweet. Ashton Irwin, Calum Hood, Michael Clifford and Luke Hemmings celebrated an epic tour, yet since it was coming to an end they were a bit bummed.

The band pulled some pranks on their good friends and opening act Hey Violet, which was expected during the show considering a prank war has been going on since tour kicked off.
