In February 2007, Bell X1 parted company with Island Records after the UK label’s roster was affected by mergers and buyouts. Although Island offered the group a new deal after "Flock", there was confidence in the air of Celtic Tiger Ireland, and Bell X1 opted to go independent and release records through their own BellyUp label. In June 2007, to coincide with becoming the first Irish act to headline Dublin’s Malahide Castle, the group put out "Tour de Flock", a two-disc concert album and live DVD of Bell X1’s sold-out Point Theatre homecoming show the previous December. The band rounded off 2007 by playing the Other Voices festival.
