Taking Back Sunday announce second leg of North American tour

First leg kicks off March 25-26th in Houston

Throughout 2019, Taking Back Sunday is celebrating their 20th anniversary with a year-long celebration, including an extensive worldwide tour, paying tribute to their catalog – and their fans – with full album performances, plus a 21 song career-spanning compilation (featuring two new songs), titled Twenty, available now on Craft Recordings.

The internationally celebrated mainstream rock band from Long Island has announced the second leg of their U.S. tour, kicking off September 13th in Kansas City, MO and including stops in Atlanta, Nashville, Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto, Boston, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, among others, before wrapping up with two nights at New York’s Terminal 5 (November 15-16th).

The first leg of the North American tour begins with two nights in Houston (March 25-26th), and by the end of this year the 20th anniversary tour – described by Brooklyn Vegan as “a night of nostalgia and fun…a history lesson as much as it was an authentic performance…a blessing for a nostalgic fanbase” – will have visited Australia, Asia, Latin America, the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Spain, Netherlands and Germany. A full list of dates is available below for both legs of the North American tour. Tickets and VIP packages are available at the band’s website.

At all shows, Taking Back Sunday – vocalist Adam Lazzara, guitarist John Nolan, drummer Mark O’Connell and bassist Shaun Cooper – will be performing their debut album Tell All Your Friends in its entirety. For tour stops where the band are performing over two nights, each nightly set will offer a double-album play – using a specially designed coin, Taking Back Sunday will flip to play either their Where You Want To Be or Louder Now, in addition to Tell All Your Friends. In headline cities where they are playing only one night, they’ll perform Tell All Your Friends, plus a selection of fan favorites from their extensive catalog.

Celebrating not only their career-defining moments but also landmark albums that chronicle the band’s story, Twenty includes 19 catalog tracks from all seven of their full-length albums, plus two new studio recordings (single “All Ready To Go” and “A Song For Dan”), which hint at the direction the band is heading in. Substream Magazine shares, “No matter the era they’ve released great tracks…‘All Ready To Go’ finds the band as good as they’ve ever been.” In premiering “A Song For Dan,” Rolling Stone noted, “the iconic quartet’s…pop-conscious hooks and knotty, post-hardcore riffs…helped provide a blueprint for many other melodic punk and hardcore groups over the next 20 years.”

Between the first and second North American legs will be a European one. It kicks off June 13th at Birmingham, UK with stops in Belfast, Glasgow, Dublin, London and more.
