To promote the release of ''If Not Now, When?'', the band took part in a participatory media exhibit and real-time documentary called [[Incubus HQ Live]] that allowed unprecedented fan access and interaction.<ref>{{cite web|author= |url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110627006842/en/Incubus-Launches-Album-Concert-Tour-Innovative-Digital |title=Incubus Launches New Album and US Concert Tour with Innovative Digital Campaign |publisher=Business Wire |date=June 27, 2011 |access-date=October 30, 2012}}</ref> Footage, music and art from the seven-day event became available as a special edition box set in July 2012.<ref>{{cite web |author=HQ Admin on |url=http://incubushq.com/profiles/blogs/incubus-hq-anniversary-and-hqlive-dvd |title=Incubus HQ Anniversary and HQLive DVD - Incubus World Headquarters |publisher=Incubushq.com |date=February 27, 2012 |access-date=October 30, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120725092029/http://incubushq.com/profiles/blogs/incubus-hq-anniversary-and-hqlive-dvd |archive-date=July 25, 2012  }}</ref>

Mike has said that he is writing music for an orchestral project and also for Incubus. He states in a video (Mikey Gear Tour part II), "My hope is to just write lots of music and then by the time we get to the point to where we're going to finish the tour I'll have a lot of music written and then people won't have to wait five more years for another album (laughs)."

The band joined [[Linkin Park]] as co-headliners on the 2012 edition of the [[Honda Civic Tour]]. Incubus hinted that they would go on hiatus following the end of the [[2012 Honda Civic Tour]], but their manager stated that Incubus would only take a break after the tour, not a hiatus.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/480679/incubus-going-back-on-hiatus-after-honda-civic-tour |title=We'd love to hear your feedback on the new Billboard.com! |magazine=Billboard |date=July 31, 2012 |access-date=October 30, 2012}}</ref>
