Moose Blood announced in January 2016 that they would be touring the UK throughout April 2016, supported by The Winter Passing and Greywind.

On September 24, 2018, a few hours after being announced as support for Good Charlotte for their headline tour across Europe and the UK they released a statement saying that they "need to step away", hinting at a hiatus or a break up.
Reception
Moose Blood has been described as emo, pop punk and emo pop. Their 2013 EP Moving Home is "like a combination of Brand New's Deja Entendu, The Get Up Kids' Something to Write Home About and American Football's self-titled."
