In 2019, the band was sued by Furry Puppet Studio for overusing llama puppets made by the company. According to the company, the llamas were only licensed for use in the ” Young and Menace ” video but were used at live shows, on merchandise, during TV appearances, and in multiple music videos. On September 10, 2019, the band announced the Hella Mega Tour with Green Day and Weezer as headliners along themselves, with The Interrupters as an opening act. They also released ” Dear Future Self (Hands Up) ” off their second compilation album, Greatest Hits: Believers Never Die – Volume Two , released in November 2019. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic , the summer leg of the tour was rescheduled to 2021. On August 4, 2021, during the Hella Mega Tour, the band announced that they would not be performing at New York’s Citi Field , Boston’s Fenway Park due to one of the band’s team members testing positive for COVID-19. They later announced they would drop out of an August 8 date at Washington D.C. ‘s Nationals Park . However, Green Day and Weezer performed as scheduled.
