TEG Live announced today that Arizona rock icons Jimmy Eat World will tour Australia this December, celebrating the 25th anniversary of their seminal album Bleed American. The tour will visit Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane this December, marking the band’s first Australian headline tour since 2017 and the final performances anywhere in the world celebrating the landmark album’s 25th anniversary.
Australian fans will have the chance to experience one of alternative rock’s defining albums performed live in its entirety, alongside many more fan favourites. 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 have provided their livelihood for the past 25 years. Lead vocalist and guitarist Jim Adkins echoes 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 savour. 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.”
Joining Jimmy Eat World on all Australian dates are very special guests Ruby Fields and A. Swayze & The Ghosts. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 11 am local time on Thursday, 16 July. For all tour and
