On April 9, 2016, Kyle Cook left the band citing a communication breakdown between the members, but returned in 2017. In 2017 the band toured with the A Brief History of Everything Tour with Counting Crows . Duo Rivers and Rust joined them as an opening act. Doucette described the tour as a celebration of the band’s history – stating it “was always going to happen. It just took a bit for everyone to realize that.” He said that the band had no plans to release new albums soon at that time and were focused on touring. The band was set to undertake a North American summer tour in 2020 alongside The Wallflowers . Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States , the tour was rescheduled three times, first to 2021, then to 2022, and then to 2023. The band played a one-off performance headlining in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada for the Churchill Park Music Festival in July 2022.
