Matchbox Twenty, the much-beloved American rock band, has just revealed its plans for a 53-date tour all across North America next summer.
Alongside The Wallflowers, the Rob Thomas-led quartet will kick things off in Bethlehem, Pa., on July 17 before concluding the extensive trek with a one-off performance at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Calif., on Sept. 28.
For the first time in three years, the 3AM rockers will also return to Canada for two concerts in two different cities — Toronto and Vancouver.
Additionally, the tour will coincide with the 25th anniversary since Matchbox Twenty’s formation in 1995. It’s currently unclear, however, if they will be doing anything in particular to commemorate the milestone.
“It’s kind of funny to think about it now when you’re just like, ‘Wow, it’s been 25 years,'” said drummer Paul Doucette in the official tour announcement shared to the band’s Twitter page on Monday.
On the group’s silver anniversary tour, bassist Brian Yale said, “It’s thrilling to think that we’re touring in 2020. This is the summer to do it.”
“We started off playing to nobody, and then we ended up playing arenas all over the world,” said Thomas, the 47-year-old frontman.
The Smooth singer continued with a personal note to his fans: “A great show only happens when it’s a shared moment. I want everyone to know that we feel it too.
“If that emotion feels like it’s flowing back and forth,” he continued, “it only makes the show better, bigger, and feel like you’re part of a moment.”
As of this writing, the Matchbox Twenty fan club presale has begun, with all remaining tickets set to go on sale this Friday, Jan. 17, at 12 p.m. ET.
