South Arcade have pulled back the curtain on their North American tour, which kicked off in June alongside Honey Revenge. Photographed by Kelsey Runge, the diary tracks the band from Orlando to Salt Lake City and offers a look at daily life on the road for a group that hasn't released a full-length album yet.

Highlights picked out by the band include a bet Ollie and Harry lost in Minneapolis, which left the pair performing onstage in bikinis. In Houston, Cody was handed a fan-made cowboy hat that he proceeded to show off to everyone, while the Dallas date landed on the hottest day of the run. Harmony broke her ankle two-thirds of the way through the tour and kept playing, hopping instead of jumping.

Backstage moments feature Emmyn Calleiro of Games We Play, who talked through the England vs. Norway World Cup match with Harry and later debated favorite chords. Another shot shows Cody wearing a layered tee from South Arcade's collaboration with Affliction.

Formed in Oxford, South Arcade build their sound on early-2000s touchstones, drawing from Avril Lavigne as much as Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit, then pushing it into glitchier, more modern territory. Their 2024 debut EP is titled 2005. Even without an album out, the band have already supported Magnolia Park, Bilmuri and 5 Seconds of Summer on tour.
