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.”
