In May 2012, the tour started off with five dates in the west of the United States, the tour then went over in June for two shows in Germany and one in Amsterdam. The tour then went over for six dates in the United Kingdom. The tour then returned to the United States and Canada for 20 shows throughout the country. In October 2012, the tour returned to Europe for 10 shows in Germany and Italy and then in Ireland and the United Kingdom.
Tenacious D played a show at the House of Blues in Las Vegas on Saturday 28 July. About fifteen minutes into the show, a massive fight involving a dozen or so people broke out in the crowd by the stage. A few people were pulled out and the show continued. During the fight, there was a stabbing. Police were called to the scene as it was reported by a steward. By the time the cops had arrived, Tenacious D had just finished 'Friendship' which was the fourteenth song out of the planned twenty three songs. The duo quickly played Tribute before the venue was cleared out. It should be noted that the man which was stabbed recovered.
