Emo/pop punk band, Brand New, recently announced their plans for a North American tour, marking an exhilarating return to live performances after a hiatus since 2017. Known for their emotive lyrics and dynamic stage presence, Brand New's comeback is expected to be a significant event for fans, many of whom have been eagerly waiting for the band's return. This announcement follows their recent live performances at The Bomb Factory in Dallas, Texas, and subsequent shows in Newport, Kentucky, and Nashville, Tennessee. These initial live dates served as a prelude to their full-scale tour, reassuring fans that Brand New is ready to reclaim their spot in the indie and punk rock scenes.

The extensive tour has been meticulously planned, with 24 dates stretching across May and June before concluding with a dramatic hometown performance in Long Island at the UBS Arena on July 2. This North American tour is set to include stops at notable venues such as the WAMU Theater in Seattle, the Theatre of the Clouds in Portland, and the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles. Such a diverse range of venues across major cities will offer fans ample opportunity to experience the band live. For many, this tour is not just about the music but rather a chance to reconnect with a band that has been a seminal part of their musical journey. The culmination of the tour on Long Island is particularly significant, as it represents a nostalgic return home, honoring the band's roots.

Ticket sales for the tour have garnered significant attention, reflecting the band's enduring popularity and the anticipation that has built up during their absence. As tickets become available, fans are encouraged to secure theirs promptly, as high demand is expected to lead to quick sellouts. The excitement surrounding the ticket sales indicates the band's strong legacy and the loyalty of their following, which has remained steadfast even through their years of inactivity. The online ticketing portals have seen substantial traffic, suggesting that the concert stops will host enthusiastic turnouts, promising an electric atmosphere in each venue.

The band's setlist for this tour underscores their commitment to delivering a memorable experience. Songs like “The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows,” “Sowing Season (Yeah),” and “Jesus Christ,” among others, are likely to feature prominently, promising fans a nostalgic journey through Brand New's catalog. By including hits from various stages of their career, the band seems poised to cater to both long-time listeners and newer fans, offering a comprehensive live experience that spans the breadth of their musical repertoire.
