# Feed the Machine Tour

The Feed the Machine Tour is the ninth concert tour by American country rock band Devo, in support of their twelfth studio album Dig Your Roots (2017). The tour began on June 2, 2017, in Austin, Texas, and concluded on April 22, 2019, in the Earth Day By the Bay in San Francisco, California.

## Background

The tour and single of the same name were announced on March 30, 2017. The European leg was announced in December 2017. Nelly, Chris Lane, Daughtry and Shaman's Harvest will be the support acts throughout the majority of the tour, while Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends Cheap Trick will replace Daughtry on the Western Canada part of the tour. In 2018, Seether and Bruno & Barretto supported the European and Brazilian legs, respectively.
Drummer Joe "Mama" Besser decided to leave Devo after an argument in Paris, France during the European leg of the tour in June 2018. Later that month, as part of the tour, Devo headlined the Burger Boogaloo festival in Oakland, California with comedian and former Trenchmouth drummer Fred Armisen on drums. In September that year, Devo officially replaced Besser with Jeff Friedl, coincidentally the same musician who had succeeded him in A Perfect Circle. This makes the Feed the Machine Tour the only Devo tour to feature three different lineups of the band.
On later dates in the tour, two songs from their next album Smooth Noodle Maps were added to the setlist: "Talk You Out of It" and "A Change Is Gonna Cum".
