Began touring for The Madness

Art of Anarchy began touring in support of The Madness in April 2017. In February 2018, Art of Anarchy members Jon and Vincent Votta filed a lawsuit to the New York Supreme Court against lead vocalist Scott Stapp. The $1.2 million suit alleges that Stapp has failed to live up to his contract with the band, citing that he had not performed with the band in scheduled concerts and tours, along with missing photo shoots and promo videos and as other events to promote The Madness . The band claimed to have paid Stapp $200,000 upfront for his services. While Stapp’s contract with the band did not prohibit him from going on solo tours, the band felt that, “If Stapp had dedicated himself to Art of Anarchy with the same fervor that he dedicated to his solo career, Art of Anarchy would have had a successful concert tour and its record contract would not have been terminated.” Stapp has performed 80 solo shows compared to 18 with Art of Anarchy since The Madness was released.
