The band is touring in support of Night Visions (KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records) which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Album chart selling more than 83,000 copies — the best first-week sales for a full-length album by a new rock band since May 2006. Night Visions also climbed to No. 1 on Billboard's Rock and Alternative Albums chart and is now approaching 1 million copies sold. The first single "It's Time" spent 41 weeks on the Modern Rock chart, 44 weeks on the Triple A chart and reached the Top 10 at Top 40 and Hot AC charts, selling more than 2 million copies.  Their second single "Radioactive" has sold more than 2.4 million copies and is currently No. 1 on the Modern Rock chart for 13 weeks running.

The band is scheduled to appear on Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series on July 5^th and on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on July 26^th.
