The Rize of the Fenix Tour was a worldwide
concert tour by American
rock band
Tenacious D. The tour was in support of the band's 2012 album Rize of the Fenix, with the tour visiting
North America and
Europe. The tour began on May 23, 2012 and ended on October 24, 2012, featuring 45 shows in total. The full show performed at
Rock am Ring and highlights from the performance at
Rock im Park were broadcast live on German TV. Highlights from the
Download Festival performance were broadcast in the UK on the
Sky Arts channel. These broadcasts have since been uploaded to the Internet unofficially by
YouTube users. This was the band's second major concert tour, following
The Pick of Destiny Tour, which toured from late 2006 to early 2007.
In late 2015, the band auctioned the signature 'Fenix' inflatable and backdrop amongst various props and costumes to raise funds for the
November 2015 Paris attacks.[1]

During the Las Vegas performance on July 28, 2012, a brawl involving a dozen or so people broke out in the crowd by the stage. A few people were pulled out and the show continued. During the incident, there was a stabbing. Police were called to the scene as it was reported by a steward. By the time the police had arrived, Tenacious D had just finished "Friendship" which was the fourteenth song out of the planned twenty-three songs. The duo quickly played "Tribute" before the venue was cleared out. The man who was stabbed recovered.[6][7][8]
