Taking Back Sunday Announce Huge 20th Anniversary Tour

Already announced on the Unify Gathering line-up, alt-rock/emo heroes Taking Back Sunday have just revealed they will be extending their time in Oz and hitting the road in January next year.

Celebrating 20 years since their formation, they will showcase an epic catalogue by performing select albums in full in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane so make sure you tell all your friends. 

Adelaide will get the classic combo of Tell All Your Friends and Louder Now with Melbourne treated to Where You Want To Be and Louder Now. 

Playing two nights in Sydney and Brisbane, punters will have the tough choice of Tell All Your Friends and Louder Now or Where You Want To Be.

Fans have also been promised they will be rewarded with a couple of other favourites from the band's discography, a new song or two and for special guests to join the tour. 

The current line-up includes, vocalist Adam Lazzara, guitarist John Nolan, drummer Mark O'Connell and bassist Shaun Cooper, who have all been there since the beginning. Reflecting on the band's early days ahead of the massive anniversary, Lazzara said, “I'll never forget, we played Ground Zero in Long Island in 2001 and it was the first show we played where people were singing along and going crazy. It was a tiny place that held 100 people but you could sense something had changed.

“After the show I remember we carried some equipment back to John's car and we were  sitting in it just not saying anything. We were just thinking, 'That was the best thing ever.' I was starry eyed and staring into space; I couldn't believe that just happened.

Nolan agreed adding, “Even after the band got a lot bigger and did things that were a lot more impressive, that moment was really huge because you could tell something was happening. Everyone was going nuts and that really stands out to me as being one of the defining moments of Taking Back Sunday.”
