Rock icons Jimmy Eat World are launching the 25th anniversary celebration of their seminal album “Bleed American” with a massive Live Nation–promoted tour kicking off June 9 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver and wrapping in November at Vans Warped Tour in Orlando. The run also marks their return to the Vans Warped Tour stage in all five cities for the first time in 25 years, along with three U.K. dates, including sold-out shows at The Piece Hall in Halifax and Cardiff Castle, before their biggest-ever U.K. headlining performance at London’s Gunnersbury Park.
Approaching the album with what they call intentional gratitude, the band is reflecting on the whirlwind of 2001 with fresh perspective. Drummer Zach Lind views the tour as a chance to thank the fans who have supported them for a quarter century, while frontman Jim Adkins promises an elevated live experience that reflects 25 years of artistic growth. Fans can expect the entirety of “Bleed American” performed live, plus additional surprises.
Select dates will feature special guests including 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.
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.”
