In anticipation of the new release the band took to the roof of the Capitol Records building. It was a global, 3D /360-degree, live-streamed virtual reality performance in partnership with Universal Music Group (UMG), the world leader in music-based entertainment, Capitol Records and VRLIVE. Check out the footage below.

The band played "Nightmare", "The Stage", "Planets" and "Acid Rain".
