However, the tour was ultimately postponed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The band have rescheduled their dates like the Wembley Stadium, Cork and Scarborough to 2022.[2] The first 17 other tour dates announced have been cancelled but 2 of it were rescheduled. Their three shows in Singapore made them the first international group to perform at Singapore Indoor Stadium thrice in one tour. On 19 November 2022, band member Nicky Byrne was involved in a stage fall accident during the concert. On 25 November 2022, band member Mark Feehily pulled out of the remaining shows of the UK and Ireland leg due to contracting pneumonia. He would rejoin the band for the 2023 legs.
