The band have earned their reputation as an aggressive touring act, known for playing more than 350 dates in support of their 2008 debut album release, supporting Kings of Leon, Franz Ferdinand, and many others. For a complete list of tour dates, please see below.

In addition to the live show, the band will be performing on NBC's The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Friday, September 30, 2011.

The band have already played on The Tonight Show earlier this year, as well as having appeared on CBS's The Late Show With David Letterman, Conan, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and CBS's Last Call With Carson Daly.

This tour comes in support of their successful and acclaimed sophomore album, All At Once, which was released in May on Island/Def Jam to resounding praise.

BBC calls All At Once "a crushing classic," while SPIN called it "the rock'n'roll equivalent of a tear-soaked novella." Drowned In Sound hailed it as "a resolute triumph in the face of adversity." The Guardian noted the album's "instant, stadium-size anthems," with Paste proclaiming "All At Once matches a stadium sound with a Barfly Soul," concluding that it is "a kick-ass record."

The record comes not a moment too soon for the Huffington Post, who stated it is "a gorgeous, expansive album. Just when you think stadium bands are dead, here comes The Airborne Toxic Event to make you reach for your lighter."

This is joined by a choir of praise from the band's hometown of Los Angeles, with KCRW calling the album "passionate, dynamic, anthemic...their expansive sound is too large to be contained," and the Los Angeles Times proclaiming "this is the sound of a band willing itself into stadiums and Grammy nominations."

Q Magazine noted the powerful genre-bending nature of the album's tracks, noting that All At Once "Combines U2-esque balladry, glam stomps, rabble-rousing folk and soaring FM pop...it's just about perfect."

"Changing" the album's first single was a juggernaut at alternative radio, landing at #4 on the format's chart.
