Underoath already announced that they’d be performing their beloved 2004 album They’re Only Chasing Safety in full for its 20th anniversary at When We Were Young this year, and now they’ve announced a full tour of North America that will find them playing the entire LP, plus a unique fan-voted second set each night. They’ll also be playing it at other festivals, including Is For Lovers and Furnace Fest.
“This is going to be like nothing we’ve ever done,” the band says. “They’re Only Chasing Safety in full every night plus *another* set of songs voted on by each city. Every song from every album over the past 20 years will be on the table. Let’s get nuts.” Support comes from Static Dress, a great newer band who definitely take after TOCS-era Underoath.
Tickets for all North American dates go on BrooklynVegan presale on Thursday (4/18) at 10 AM local time. PASSWORD = BVUO20. Any remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday (4/19) at 10 AM local.
They’re also offering a VIP package with “one GA ticket; a conversation with Underoath in which they will answer fan questions, tell stories, and discuss the impact of They’re Only Chasing Safety on their career; an informal hang with the band and individual photo with the full band; a VIP-exclusive 20th Anniversary edition of They’re Only Chasing Safety on vinyl; a 24-page, full color, standard-sized They’re Only Chasing Safety comic book by Sumerian Comics; and merchandise shopping prior to doors opening to the public. Both the vinyl and the comic book will be shipped to VIPs prior to the tour.”
The NYC-area gets shows on September 20 at Palladium Times Square and December 4 at Starland Ballroom. All dates are listed below.
