Jimmy Eat World are bringing their Bleed American 25th anniversary tour to Australia this December.
The alt-rock quartet will perform the iconic album in its entirety, along with a bunch of fan favourites, at four special shows across the country.
Released in 2021 via DreamWorks Records, Bleed American was a massive success. The album received critical acclaim from the music press and turned Jimmy Eat World into a global sensation, with the hit single ‘The Middle’ recently joining Spotify's Billion Streams Club.
Speaking about the album and this tour, lead vocalist and guitarist Jim Adkins says, “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.”
Joined on the road by special guests Ruby Fields and A. Swayze & The Ghosts, Jimmy Eat World’s Bleed American 25th anniversary tour kicks off at Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion on Thursday 10 December. The quartet then plays Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena on Friday 11 December, followed by Hindley Street Music Hall in Adelaide on Saturday 12 December, before wrapping things up on Tuesday 15 December at Riverstage in Brisbane.
Pre-sale runs from 10am AEST on Tuesday 14 July until 10am AEST on Thursday 16 July. General on-sale kicks off at 11am AEST on Thursday 16 July. For all tour and ticketing information, visit teglive.com.au.
