Tours of the band have included headline spots at smaller national and international rock festivals, such as Desert Fest, Burg Herzberg Festival or Indie March Festival, Bangalore (India). Local media coverage have included broadcasts of concerts on national television, when Colour Haze appeared at Rockpalast in 2007 and 2019.
