Neotheater World Tour

The Neotheater World Tour was the fourth concert tour by the American pop band AJR, supporting their third studio album, Neotheater (2019). It ran from September 20, 2019, to January 21, 2020, and covered 41 shows across Europe and North America. The set list consisted primarily of songs from Neotheater, with a few numbers from the band's second album The Click (2017) and brief appearances from their debut studio album Living Room (2015). A second leg of the Neotheater World Tour with 21 more shows was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background and development
On March 10, 2019, AJR released a trailer for their third studio album, Neotheater, which would release on April 26. Shortly after this, the band announced the Neotheater World Tour on March 15, with tickets becoming available for sale on March 22. Band member Ryan Met stated in an interview with Atwood Magazine that the tour was conceptualized at the same time as the album, stating "we wanted it to be one whole cohesive piece of art". Two release shows prefaced the tour, with AJR performing at Bowery Ballroom in New York City on April 29 and Hoxton Hall in London on May 14.

The Neotheater World Tour started on September 20 at Harrah's Stir Cove in Council Bluffs, Iowa, remaining in the United States through November. In December, AJR traveled to Europe to perform in Russia, Poland, Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Ireland. Shows on the tour were opened by Tessa Violet. On November 13, 2019, AJR announced a 2020 leg of the Neotheater World Tour, consisting of 21 dates in the United States and 4 dates in Canada throughout May and June. The leg was scheduled to feature Almost Monday as a supporting act.

On November 19, AJR postponed the final four November shows due to lead singer Jack Met having symptoms of strep throat. These shows were re-scheduled to dates in mid-January 2020 as part of the second leg, with tickets going on sale on November 22. Following the outbreak of COVID-19, all the shows in May and June 2020 were canceled alongside the band's Everything Everywhere Tour, which would've taken place in July and August 2020 with Quinn XCII, Hobo Johnson & the LoveMakers, and Ashe as supporting acts.

Neotheater World Tour Doc
Alongside the development of the tour, AJR released Neotheater World Tour Doc, a five-episode documentary series that was directed by Austin Roa and published to YouTube between October 2, 2019, and January 6, 2020. Episodes ranged 7–14 minutes in length and showcased rehearsals, fan interactions, concert highlights, backstage footage, and hardships with the tour.
