2006 Australasia tour After announcing their first tour of Australasia in March 2006, the band performed in Auckland on 28 July. After gigs in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane supported by Australian band The Grates, the Australian leg of the tour culminated in the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on 9 August. Festivals 2006 The band's return trip to the UK from Australia included stops in Japan to play at the annual Summer Sonic Festival in Tokyo and Osaka on 12 and 13 August respectively; as well as performances at the Frequency Festival in Salzburg, Austria; Belgium's Werchter and Pukkelpop festival and the Lowlands Festival of the Netherlands on the 18–20 August. Following near-continuous touring since Autumn 2005, the band's schedule came to an end following their performances at the Reading and Leeds Festivals on the last weekend of August. The band's spectacular rise up the billing from the small Carling Tent up to penultimate on the Main stage in the space of a year was noted by many reviews, and the band delivered "a set that was typically low on spectacle but high on musical fire, [as] they confidently made the festival their own". The Leeds leg of the festival saw the original band members re-united following a backstage appearance by Andy Nicholson. Earlier in the summer Arctic Monkeys had taken the main stage at Oxegen by storm when they made an appearance on the rainy, windswept Saturday of the festival. The following evening at T in the Park, Kinross in Scotland they played a 60-minute set on the main stage before The Strokes took to the stage.
