Glasvegas were asked to support U2 on their 360° Tour after Bono was given a copy of the band's debut album Glasvegas. In an interview with NME Bono was quoted as saying “that song; It’s My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry, is one of the best songs I‘ve ever heard.” Glasvegas supported U2 across 4 dates in July and August 2009 which were Dublin's Croke Park on 24 July 2009, Wembley Stadium on August 15, 2009, Hampden Stadium on August 18, 2009 and the Millennium Stadium on 22 August 2009.
Glasvegas were nominated for the 2009 Mercury Music Prize, however lead singer James Allan disappeared just days before the Awards Ceremony on 8 September 2009. He went missing for a total of five days before eventually turning up safe and well in New York. On 11 September 2009, Glasvegas toured the USA and Canada for a sixth time, supporting Kings of Leon. This support tour ended on 25 September 2009. On 10 October 2009, Glasvegas played the Vena Festival in Lodz, Poland. This gig in Poland would turn out to be the last performance of Caroline McKay. The final gig of 2009 was on 30 October in London where Rab and James played a special acoustic set for charity.
