Tour details
Background
M.I.A. promoted the album with a series of appearances at music festivals, including the HARD festival in New York and the The Big Chill in Herefordshire. Her performance at the latter was cut short due to a stage invasion by fans.[2] She also performed at the Flow Festival in Finland, where she was joined onstage by Derek E. Miller playing guitar during her performance of "Meds and Feds",[3] and the LokerseFeesten in Lokeren, Flanders, Belgium, where her performance drew a crowd of 13,500, the biggest of the 10-day music festival.[4] M.I.A. performed at the 2010 Virgin Mobile Festival, Festival Sudoeste, Way Out West Festival, Underage Festival and Øyafestivalen.[5][6][7] In September she announced a tour, with Sleigh Bells and Rye Rye as alternating support acts, with the tour lasting until the end of the year.[8]

M.I.A. tweeted on 19 Nov "my baby is sick @ home in london i m sorry to my liverpool fans, but ill b in leeds 2maro c u there . watching yo gabba gabba !". Subsequently, this meant her Liverpool show was cancelled.[9]
