Prior to the tour, Love Amongst Ruin made their live debut at Eurosonic Festival in January 2010 and played two one-off club dates in London the following May and June. Original bass player Magnus Lundén was replaced by Teresa Morini in July. The band followed with an appearance at the Sonisphere Festival at Knebworth Park in August.
The tour began one week after the release of Love Amongst Ruin in September 2010. The first leg began with a three-week jaunt through continental Europe, beginning in Zaandam, Netherlands[1] and finishing in Paris, France in mid-October[2]. Following a two week break, the tour resumed with seven dates in the United Kingdom and Ireland[3]. Gigs in Southampton (later rescheduled) and Glasgow were cancelled due to drummer Keith York suffering with illness.[4] Following the conclusion of the European tour, the band were invited to support Feeder and The Futureheads in Birmingham at Kerrang! magazine's "X-Mas Party".[5] Keith York quit the band at the end of the year and was replaced by Ramon Sherrington.
In February 2011, the band reemerged with more slots supporting Feeder in the United Kingdom on their Renegades tour[6]. Prior to the gigs, the band slimmed down to a five piece after removing keyboardist/cellist Laurie Ross from the lineup. The band began the second leg of their European tour in March with five shows in France, but they only managed to play one date of their German tour in April after shows in Hamburg, Frankfurt and Dortmund were cancelled. The band returned to France in May for two dates on the Recycling Party tour, with guitarist Gizz Butt filling in for Steve Hove.
The band finished the tour in June 2011 with two headlining dates at the Borderline in London and at the Fête de la Musique in Valence, France. Jon Thorne filled in for Teresa Morini at the latter date.
The band's setlists for the tour were mainly drawn from their debut album, with "Love Song" being the only track from the album which was not played live. A cover of "Got To Give It Up" by Thin Lizzy was a regular inclusion. Owing to the band's shortage of material, encores often included a repeat play of debut single "So Sad (Fade)", in addition to non-album track "Bring Me Down (You Don't)"[7]. New song "Pop DC" was premiered in London in June 2011, along with a cover of "Rise" by Public Image Ltd.
