Marianas Trench Announce 2024 North American Tour
Today, multi-platinum-selling Canadian pop-rock band Marianas Trench, is excited to announce their 2024 North American tour. The Force of Nature tour – produced by Live Nation – will kick off on September 12th and make stops across the US and Canada, including shows in Anaheim, Dallas, Orlando, Nashville, New York, Chicago, Denver, and more, culminating with the tour’s final stop in the band’s hometown, Vancouver, BC.
The Marianas Trench Fan Club presale for the tour will begin on Tuesday, May 28th at 12:00 pm local time and end on Thursday, May 30th at 10pm local time. VIP packages will also be available starting on Tuesday, May 28th at 12pm local time. Fans can register for the Fanclub here and find out more information on the VIP packages here. General onsale will start on Friday, May 31st at 10am local time.
“There is no greater feeling than the thunderous roar of thousands of Trenchers permeating our eardrums when we set foot on stage to perform,” said Matt Webb of Marianas Trench. “We have longed for this feeling, dearly, over the last few years, and are f&*king thrilled to be back with the Force of Nature tour, coming to a city near you soon!”
In addition to the tour, the band recently released their undeniably catchy new radio single “Lightning and Thunder,” available now via 604 Records / Warner Music Canada and all streaming platforms. The uplifting anthem showcases vocalist Josh Ramsay’s outstanding vocal range and the band’s signature theatrical pop-rock style that is guaranteed to leave a lasting mark on listeners.
Written and produced by Marianas Trench frontman Josh Ramsay, he shares the inspiration behind the single, “Every story begins with a call to adventure. “Lightning and Thunder” is about finding out my partner and I were going to have our first child, which is probably the biggest call to adventure I’m ever going to experience.”
This track follows the band’s surprise DSP release of “A Normal Life,” a track about feeling like you don’t belong in your place in life and knowing you were meant for something more. The song was the band’s first new studio release since their acclaimed 2019 album, Phantoms. Both new tracks will appear on the band’s highly-anticipated forthcoming album, which is slated to be released later this summer.
Since their 2006 debut album, Fix Me, Marianas Trench have consistently raised the musical bar both in the studio and with their explosive live shows around the globe. Amongst their many accomplishments, the Vancouver-based four-piece band composed of Josh Ramsay, Matt Webb, Mike Ayley and Ian Casselman, has earned two certified double-platinum records, one platinum record, a certified gold-selling record and triple-platinum digital singles. They have also been awarded the 2013 JUNO Award for Group of the Year and achieved several chart-topping radio hits including “Stutter,” “Fallout,” and “Who Do You Love.”
