The Return and Reckoning of Yellowcard
Yellowcard,known for hits like"Ocean Avenue,"returns to the stage fully recharged after a brief hiatus and an authentic"farewell"tour.Their reunion is fueled by the success of their globalOcean Avenue 20th anniversary tour and a period of healing that brought the four core members—William Ryan Key, Sean Mackin, Ryan Mendez, and Josh Portman—back together.
The band recently releasedBetter Days,their first album in nearly a decade.The ambitious and emotionally resonant record was produced by blink-182's Travis Barker, who also played drums on every track. The album, featuring collaborations with Avril Lavigne and Matt Skiba, is described as an unflinching reflection on forgiveness, gratitude, and purpose, signaling that their return is a reckoning, not just a reunion.
Taking Back Sunday's New Purpose
Co-headliner Taking Back Sunday,often self-described as the"luckiest guys you will meet,"joins the bill fresh off the release of their eighth studio album,152(late 2023).The record features intensely vulnerable and absorbing tracks that showcase a fresh ambition and purpose from the veteran band.
Having toured the world,sold millions of albums,and accumulated streams in the multiple-hundred-million range,Taking Back Sunday continues to strive to make new music that fans can connect with,proving they are far from resting on their impressive back catalog.
