The band were set to perform as a part of the industrial strength tour, alongside bands [[Ministry (band)|Ministry]] and [[Helmet (band)|Helmet]], scheduled for late 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-07-12|title=Al Jourgensen and Ministry Launches 2020 Giveaway Campaign To Encourage Voting -|url=https://music.mxdwn.com/2020/07/12/news/al-jourgensen-and-ministry-launches-2020-giveaway-campaign-to-encourage-voting/|access-date=2021-05-13|website=mxdwn Music|language=en-US}}</ref> [[KMFDM]] were originally planned to be a part of the tour, but were later replaced with Helmet. The 25-date tour was originally slated for July 2020, but was pushed to March 2021 due to [[COVID-19]]. This was pushed back again to October 2021, because of the ongoing uncertainty with the development of the [[COVID-19 pandemic|pandemic]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=March 19, 2021|first=Amanda|last=Hatfield|title=Ministry reschedule Industrial Strength Tour for fall 2021; Helmet replace KMFDM|url=https://www.brooklynvegan.com/ministry-reschedule-industrial-strength-tour-for-fall-2021-helmet-replace-kmfdm/|access-date=2021-05-13|website=BrooklynVegan|language=en}}</ref> However, in September 2021, Ministry announced that they were once again postponing the industrial strength tour due to safety concerns related to the pandemic, this time with the [[Melvins]] and [[Corrosion of Conformity]] as support.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-09-24|title=Industrial metallers Ministry postpones autumn Orlando show - and tour - until 2022|url=https://www.orlandoweekly.com/Blogs/archives/2021/09/24/industrial-metallers-ministry-postpones-autumn-orlando-show-and-tour-until-2022|access-date=2021-10-10|website=Orlando Weekly|language=en}}</ref> In response to this, Front Line Assembly released a statement via social media, alleging that Ministry had never explained why they were dropping them from the tour or given them forewarning of this, and expressing disappointment with the way that the situation was handled. The band proceeded to announce a headlining US tour for Spring 2022 and a second European co-headline tour with Die Krupps scheduled for August 2022.<ref name="frontlineassemblyustour2022">{{cite magazine |date=November 1, 2021 |title=Front Line Assembly US tour 2022 |url=https://www.releasemagazine.net/rein-will-join-front-line-assembly-on-their-2022-us-spring-tour/ |magazine=Release |access-date=February 4, 2022}}</ref><ref name="frontlineassemblyeuropeantour2022">{{cite magazine |date=August 18, 2021 |title=Front Line Assembly European tour 2022|url=https://www.kulttempel.com/kt-dp/2795 |magazine=Kult Tempel |access-date=February 4, 2022}}</ref>
