Jimmy Eat World are going big for the 25th anniversary of Bleed American. Today, the Arizona rock staples announced a massive tour celebrating the landmark 2001 album, launching June 9 in Denver, CO, with a career-defining show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and wrapping up in November at Vans Warped Tour in Orlando, FL.
The trek marks Jimmy Eat World‘s long-awaited return to the Vans Warped Tour stage — in all five cities — for the first time in 25 years. The North American run follows a trio of previously announced U.K. dates, including sold-out shows on August 14 at The Piece Hall in Halifax and August 15 at Cardiff Castle, capped by the largest U.K. headline show of the band’s career on August 16 at London’s Gunnersbury Park.
As they revisit Bleed American a quarter-century later, the band say the tour is driven by a perspective they didn’t have back in 2001: gratitude. Drummer Zach Lind describes the anniversary run as a chance to fully appreciate the fans who have sustained the band for decades. Frontman Jim Adkins echoes that sentiment, framing the tour as both a celebration and a creative evolution.
“I feel like at this time in our lives, especially for me, it’s important to get back to a place that you can savor,” Adkins says. “This tour is designed to be an elevated version of our show, a heightened experience with production that reflects 25 years of learning how to stretch artistically in the live environment.”
Fans can expect to hear Bleed American in its entirety each night, along with additional material the band is keeping under wraps for now.
The tour will feature an impressive rotating cast of special guests on select dates, including Rise Against, Hot Mulligan, Sunny Day Real Estate, Thrice, Motion City Soundtrack, Mom Jeans, Minus the Bear, The Get Up Kids, PUP, Sparta, Hey Mercedes, Girls Against Boys, Illuminati Hotties, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, Jay Som, and more.
