The band played their support slot ahead of Panic! At The Disco at the Hi-Fi Buys Amphitheatre, after which the drummer was taken to hospital.

According to a statement from the band: "Doctors at the hospital in Atlanta say Matt is in a comfortable condition and not in any danger, he will however be staying in hospital for at least the next three days for observation and it's not clear at this stage when Matt will be fit to resume performing."
