The band began touring in support of the album, christened the "Vices & Virtues" Tour, in earnest beginning in February 2011. The tour has sported the same electric, over-the-top theatricality the band was known for during the "Fever" era. "I really miss wearing costumes and makeup," Urie told "Spin". "I love throwing a big production. I've recently been reading about Tesla coils and I'm trying to figure out how I can get one that sits on the stage and shoots sparks without hurting anybody." The group was scheduled to play the Australian Soundwave Revolution festival in September/October but the festival was canceled. The band performed at the Counter-Revolution mini-festival, the festival that took its place.
