fell in 2021. A planned tour that year was cancelled due to the covid pandemic and was rescheduled for September-October 2022 with shows in Wellington, Christchurch, Auckland and Dunedin. An expanded seven-member band had been announced for the cancelled 2021 tour, but by the time the 2022 dates were confirmed neither Nick Roughan nor Lachlan Anderson (Die! Die! Die!) could commit to the tour. Roughan, who contributed to Dimmer's first three albums and would have been playing keyboards and live electronics, was replaced by Durham Fenwick (Green Grove). Bassist Anderson would have made his first appearances with Dimmer, but instead James Duncan shifted from guitar to bass. Louisa Nicklin (guitar/vocals) and Neive Strang (percussion/vocals) were new additions alongside stalwarts Shayne Carter and Gary Sullivan (drums). Proteins of Magic, a solo project of former Dimmer bassist Kelly Sherrod, was a support act for the tour.
