Gary Numan's Intruder Tour 2022 supported his nineteenth solo studio album, Intruder, released on 21 May 2021, which reached No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart. The concept album explored humanity's destruction of the environment from the perspective of an angry and betrayed Earth. Following postponements caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour covered 73 venues across 15 countries, taking in North America, the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe. A notable highlight was Numan's return to Wembley Arena on 7 May 2022, his first performance at the venue since his 1981 farewell concerts. The shows combined material from Intruder with songs spanning his earlier career, accompanied by atmospheric lighting and apocalyptic video imagery reflecting the album's themes.
