How To Destroy Angels Live 2013
How To Destroy Angels Live 2013 (stylised as "How to destroy angels live 2013") is How To Destroy Angels' first tour, a limited North American run of dates including performances at Coachella. The band has stated that these will be the only dates on this tour. Tickets went on sale on February 27th through tour.destroyangels.com as a presale, but due to unprecedented demand, general sale for some shows was also opened that day.
Support for all dates except Coachella and Denver was DIIV. Denver's support was Vatican Shadow, and Coachella, being a festival, had no support acts.

Visual effects
The live effects for HTDA were created and controlled live from stage by Rob Sheridan, who co-designed them with Roy Bennett of Moment Factory (who had helped design the visual effects for Nine Inch Nails' Lights In The Sky Tour). A series of tubes filled with LEDs were used as curtains over the stage to create immersive, interactive light effects to complement and work alongside the live music provided by the rest of the band.
Tour posters
Six posters were created by Rob Sheridan for the tour. They were sold throughout the tour, both signed by the full live band and unsigned. Whilst the artwork different amongst the posters, the tour dates were the same for all, although only one version was sold per night.
