Jimmy Eat World To Embark On Bleed American 25th Anniversary Tour

Today, Arizona rock icons Jimmy Eat World will kick off the celebration for the 25th anniversary of their seminal album Bleed American in a big way — with a massive Live Nation promoted tour that starts June 9 in Denver, CO, at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre and ends in November at Vans Warped Tour in Orlando, FL.
The extensive trek marks Jimmy Eat World’s triumphant return to the Vans Warped Tour stage, in all five cities, after a 25-year absence and a trio of previously announced U.K. shows, with sold-out dates on Aug. 14 at The Piece Hall in Halifax and Aug. 15 at Cardiff Castle in Wales, followed by the biggest U.K. show in the band’s history on Aug. 16 at London’s Gunnersbury Park.
As they prepare for tour, the band members are approaching songs from the album with a perspective they lacked in the blur of 2001: intentional gratitude. For drummer Zach Lind, this tour feels like a second chance to show appreciation to the fans who provided their livelihood for the past 25 years. Lead vocalist and guitarist Jim Adkinsechoes this sentiment: “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. 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 the entirety of Bleed American, along with much more they’ll have to wait to see and hear!
Along the tour, Jimmy Eat World will be joined by very special guests (on select dates): 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, and Jay Som.
Originally released July 24, 2001 via DreamWorks Records, Bleed American stands as a landmark album that helped push alternative rock into the mainstream, cementing Jimmy Eat World as pioneering artists of the 2000s music scene. The album has been certified platinum in the U.S. and gold in the U.K., with the essential single “The Middle” recently joining the Spotify Billion Streams Club. The record was not only a commercial breakthrough, but also a creative touchstone for a new wave of bands, with artists including Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, and The Wonder Years citing the album as a major influence.
“Jimmy Eat World promptly went onto platinum success with its 2001 Interscope debut, Bleed American, which spawned the multi-format hit ‘The Middle.’ ” — Billboard
“Years after it blew up, ‘The Middle’ continues to resonate with listeners. … Bleed American remains to be a shining example that not all Y2K rock music had to fall victim to that era’s trends.” — SPIN
“[Bleed American] captures Jimmy Eat World at their cultural apotheosis. Released at a time when infectious riffs and pop-punk ‘whoa-ohs’ reigned supreme, the album is an artifact of its era that remains as indelible as ever two decades later.” — Stereogum
Adkins says: “When we printed the last mix of Bleed American, we felt like we had achieved something great for ourselves. There was no barometer of how it would connect with people outside of the studio, and we are still in awe with the life the record and songs have had since their original release. Bleed American is as much yours as it is ours, so we want to celebrate it with you all in a very special way.”

Calvin Harris Returns To North America For First Headline Tour
Today, global superstar DJ and producer Calvin Harris announces his first headline tour across North America bringing his era-defining catalogue and landmark live show to arenas across the US and Canada in spring 2027.
Promoted by Live Nation, the 18-date tour kicks off Thursday, April 1 at TD Garden in Boston, with stops across Baltimore, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Toronto, Montreal, Houston, Chicago, Seattle, Vancouver, San Diego and more, before concluding Thursday, May 27 at Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
Tickets will be available starting with Reserved by Spotify on Monday, October 19th at 10AM local time, followed by an artist presale beginning Tuesday, October 20th at 12PM local time. Fans can register for artist presale access now at CalvinHarris.com.
The general on sale begins Thursday, October 22nd at 12PM local time at CalvinHarris.com.
Calvin Harris’ Reserved by Spotify tickets may be available to eligible US Spotify Premium subscribers through Ticketmaster. These fans will be notified by Spotify via email and app notification, and will have the opportunity to purchase up to two tickets during the Reserved presale.
The North American run follows an extraordinary year of live milestones for Harris. This summer, he performed to more than 100,000 fans across his two sold-out hometown shows at Glasgow’s Hampden Park, followed by three sold-out headline shows across Ireland, bringing his UK and Ireland total to more than 210,000 tickets. His recently announced Australian headline tour subsequently sold more than 330,000 tickets across 11 dates, making it the biggest headline tour by an electronic artist in the market.
Earlier this year, Harris also earned a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title following his February performance in São Paulo, Brazil, which drew an estimated 1.6 million people, setting the record for the largest attendance at a DJ set by a single artist.
The North American announcement follows Harris’ acclaimed performance at Head Trip Festival in Indio, California, with upcoming performances in Las Vegas and festival appearances in Mexico and Chile. He will also headline a sold-out show at Coliseo MedPlus in Bogotá, Colombia on Friday, November 13.
One of the defining artists in global dance music, Harris has spent more than a decade creating records that have become part of the fabric of contemporary pop and electronic music. With more than 56 billion global streams, two UK No. 1 albums, 11 UK No. 1 singles and 31 UK Top 10 singles, his catalogue has consistently crossed the boundaries between clubs, radio, festivals and stadiums.
His recent run of releases has continued that legacy, with “Blessings” featuring Clementine Douglas becoming one of the year’s biggest dance records, peaking at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart and marking his 31st UK Top 10 single. He followed with “Ocean” featuring Jessie Reyez and “Release the Pressure” with Kasabian as well as “Satisfy” with Jazzy, continuing his instinct for unexpected collaborations and genre-spanning dance music.
Harris returns to stages across North America with a show that reflects his extraordinary evolution as a live artist, bringing together a catalogue of global anthems, cutting-edge production and the communal energy that has made him one of the world’s most successful electronic artists.

Featuring smash hit singles “3AM,” “Push,” “Real World,” “Back 2 Good,” “Long Day” and more, the diamond-certified, 12x-platinum album became one of the defining rock records of the era and established the band as a fixture of pop culture.
In the 30 years since, Matchbox Twenty have built a catalog of hits including “Bent,” “If You’re Gone,” “Unwell,” “How Far We’ve Come,” “She’s So Mean” and more. The band have sold more than 40 million records worldwide, topped charts, garnered multiple GRAMMY® Award nominations, and played to millions of fans across arenas, amphitheaters and stadiums on multiple continents.
