Announcement and scheduling

On January 22, 2019, Frank Iero along with some press announced his South American tour, which by then included shows in only three countries: Peru, Chile and Brazil.[1]

On January 31, given the high demand and after 2 advance-ticket stages (out of 3) selling out, it was announced that venue in Santiago de Chile would change from Club Subterráneo to Club Chocolate;[2] the latter had the benefit of being all ages, too.[3]

On February 28, Iero stated that after the performances in South America he would do shows in Mexico City and Monterrey, as well as adding a date in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[4] Finally, a show in Guadalajara, Mexico was scheduled.[5]

Postponement of Mexico leg

Due to a health issue while in South America, Iero had to postpone the Mexican leg.

Once in the US, during a livestream for Loudwire on May 8, he claimed to be still "dealing with this Brazilian case". Guitarist Evan Nestor said, while reading some questions: "This is a good one: When are you coming to Mexico?", to which Iero replied:[6]

Can I say it? September. The last weekend of September. We're gonna be back in Mexico and re-do those shows. Sorry about that. You can hear it! I'm still f up, it's terrible, I feel bad, I'm sorry! But I couldn't, man... We did two international flights, I arrived in Mexico with a 103 °F fever [...] It was horrible. It went to my chest... It was horrible, horrible, horrible. I'm sorry, but it was for a good reason, and we'll see you soon.
