Jimmy Eat World have announced they will bring their Bleed American 25th anniversary tour to Australia this year.
In what will be their first headline shows in the country since 2017, the legendary US band will wrap up the anniversary run of their seminal 2001 album with shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane this December.
“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,” frontman Jim Adkins said.
“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.”
Released in July 2001, Jimmy Eat World’s fourth album featured some of their biggest hits to date, including “The Middle” – which recently joined Spotify’s Billion Streams Club – “Sweetness,” and “Hear You Me.”
“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,” Adkins said.
“Bleed American is as much yours as it is ours, so we want to celebrate it with you all in a very special way.”
