The national tour throughout 2010–2011 reached the United States and Europe, and 2012–2013 reached throughout the United States. According to co-owner Stewart, "the whole point of this tour and the reason we're doing this for the third straight year is because we try our hardest to make [the tour] a positive experience for both the fans and the artists on it."[1] Stewart also mentioned that "in 2012 or 2013 we’d like to have the tour in the US, Europe, and Australia. We’d like to make it a world brand."[2]

The Blue tour headliner was The Acacia Strain, and the Red tour headliner was Attack Attack!.
