Taking Back Sunday is 20 years old (I know) and, as celebration, the screamo legends will embark on a massive worldwide tour in conjunction with a new, career-spanning compilation called, appropriately, Twenty. A 21-song collection, Twenty will drop on January 11th of next year via Craft Recordings.
“It feels strange to say out loud…2019 marks 20 years since I joined Taking Back Sunday and my life changed forever,” singer Adam Lazzara says in a press release. “So, next year we will be traveling the world to celebrate the amazing brotherhood, music and life we have created together over the past 20 years. We hope you can join us for what is sure to be an experience to remember.”
The tour is currently comprised of shows in North America, South America, Australia, and Asia, with more dates to be announced. Every show will find Taking Back Sunday performing their 2002 debut, Tell All Your Friends. If the band is in your town for two straight nights, the second nightly set will find them playing Tell All Your Friends and either Where You Want To Be or Louder Now in full (they’ll choose which via a coin toss). If they’re in town for only one night, they’ll play Tell All Your Friends and a selection of fan favorites. Regardless, you can look forward to screaming along to “Cute Without the ‘E’ (Cut from the Team)”, a rite of passage for any TBS diehard.
