Numan performed a special gig dedicated to the album at Manchester Academy on 21 November 2009 , similar to Numan 's previous tours for '' Replicas '' and '' Telekon '' . Numan had been scheduled to play the 2010 Coachella Festival in Indio , California but was forced to cancel , due to the Icelandic volcano eruption that disrupted air travel . To make up for this , Numan embarked upon a 16-date mini-tour of the U.S. that August , in which he performed '' The Pleasure Principle '' in its entirety
