Silverchair added an auxiliary keyboardist, Sam Holloway (ex- Cordrazine ), for the Neon Ballroom Tour. The US leg had the group playing with The Offspring and Red Hot Chili Peppers , while Silverchair’s tour of UK and European had The Living End as the support act. Rolling Stone ‘ s Neva Chonin attributed their chart success to the album’s more “mature” sound. In Europe and South America it became the group’s most successful album to date. The group appeared at festivals in Reading and Edgefest , amongst others. Following the tour, the band announced that they would be taking a 12-month break. Their only live performance in 2000 was at the Falls Festival on New Year’s Eve. On 21 January 2001, the band played to 250,000 people at Rock in Rio , a show they described as the highlight of their career until that point.
