Taking Back Sunday are celebrating their 20-year anniversary (that’s not a typo) in grandiose fashion, announcing a massive world tour and a new compilation record. The tour kicks off in New Jersey with a couple of warm-up dates this winter before the band starts circling the globe in January, and the 21-song collection, Twenty (naturally), is scheduled for release via Craft Recordings on January 11th.
In most cities, the Taking Back Sunday 20th anniversary tour will find the band appearing on back-to-back nights, with full-length performances of their 2002 debut record, Tell All Your Friends. According to the band, they’ll also be flipping a coin to determine whether they’ll include a full performance of 2004’s Where You Want to Be or 2006’s Louder Now. Whichever record doesn’t make the cut for night one, will still be performed on night two.
“It feels strange to say out loud…2019 marks 20 years since I joined Taking Back Sunday and my life changed forever,” singer Adam Lazzara said in a press release. “So, next year we will be traveling the world to celebrate the amazing brotherhood, music and life we have created together over the past 20 years. We hope you can join us for what is sure to be an experience to remember.”
