Rise Against embarked on a two-leg US tour with A Day to Remember and The Menzingers in the spring of 2012. Leg one ended with the band launching another European tour. The band continued back to Europe for the summer months while doing a slew of festivals along the way. To end 2012, the band announced the return to the US with a fall tour with Gaslight Anthem and Hot Water Music . The tour included two shows in Arizona, which the band had not played since 2009 due to the Sound Strike . On January 2, 2013, vocalist Tim McIlrath told Rolling Stone that Rise Against was “focusing on recharging [their] batteries” after two years of touring in support of Endgame . In March 2013, Rise Against played their first ever performances on African soil when they performed in South Africa for the Durban , Johannesburg and Cape Town legs of RAMFest , where they headlined the festival along with the UK band Bring Me the Horizon .
