COHEED AND CAMBRIA And TAKING BACK SUNDAY Announce U.S. Summer Co-Headline Tour

American rock bands COHEED AND CAMBRIA and TAKING BACK SUNDAY today announced their upcoming summer co-headlining amphitheater tour. The 28-city U.S. outing, produced by Live Nation , will begin on Friday, July 6 in Miami, Florida and make stops in Atlanta, Nashville, Boston, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Chicago, Cleveland, Austin, Denver, Las Vegas, and more. The summer journey will culminate at Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona on Sunday, August 12. Northern California act THE STORY SO FAR will be the opener on all dates.

Tickets for the tour will go on sale to the general public beginning this Friday, February 23 at 10 a.m. local time at LiveNation.com . Artist pre-sales start tomorrow, Wednesday, February 21 at 10 a.m. local time and will end at 10 p.m. on Thursday, February 22.

It's been over two years since COHEED AND CAMBRIA 's 2015 album, "The Color Before The Sun" , was released as the band's first "non-concept" effort over the span of its 15-year career. The album left the sci-fi universe of "The Amory Wars" and instead focused on frontman Claudio Sanchez 's personal life, including the birth of his first child. With 2018 upon us, and a major summer tour now announced, the volume of fans' chatter for a new album and whether or not it will return to the band's fictional concept arc will surely reach new heights.

COHEED AND CAMBRIA is a rare band whose music is able to transcend "scenes" and effortlessly cross genres of rock — from indie to progressive, to metal and pop-punk to classic rock. The band is frequently compared to progressive, operatic rock bands of the '70s, ala QUEEN , SUPERTRAMP or RUSH due to their thrilling concept albums that take you on a grand journey of sounds and often clock in around 10 minutes, but still somehow include sugary pop-laden hooks.

The group's following has grown steadily every album, partly due to their ferocious live show that brings fans to their knees with an equally expansive light show. This summer, the band will be performing songs from their expansive catalog, and we can only imagine they'll pull a few new tricks from up their sleeves.

Produced by Mike Sapone , "Tidal Wave" , the seventh full-length studio album from TAKING BACK SUNDAY released in the fall of 2016 finds the New York rock band both pushing its creative limits in an attempt to reach new fans as well as reconnect with those who have remained since the its inception. Deemed "eclectic and sensitive" by Entertainment Weekly , "Tidal Wave" presents itself as yet another rewarding reinvention for the band. "By the time most bands get to this point in their career, they are pretty set in what they do but we were really mindful about approaching our musical ideas differently this time around and staying true to where the five of us are in our lives right now," frontman Adam Lazzara explains. "This album is truly an expression of what TAKING BACK SUNDAY is during this snapshot in time as opposed to what we think people expect from our band."

TAKING BACK SUNDAY is excited to spend the summer of 2018 touring with longtime friends in COHEED AND CAMBRIA . "It's funny, we've been friends all of this time but we've never done a full tour together," comments drummer Mark O'Connell . "We ran into each other at some festivals last year and got to talking about it and here we are." The band will be rested up from a quick trip over to the U.K. and Germany at the end of May and primed for these summer appearances.

Coheed and Cambria, Taking Back Sunday Announce Co-Headline Tour

Coheed and Cambria and Taking Back Sunday are going on tour — together! The two rock bands will bring their co-headline show to Nashville this summer.

The bands will hit a total of 28 cities across the U.S. with the Live Nation tour kicking off on July 6 in Miami. The amphitheater tour stops in Atlanta, Chicago, Austin, Cleveland and, of course, Music City. The show in Nashville happens on July 11 at Ascend Amphitheater . They’ll wrap the tour Aug. 12 in Phoenix. The Story So Far will support the tour at all of their dates.

Taking Back Sunday, on the other hand, most recently released an album in 2016.  Tidal Wave   was their most recent record and they decided to approach it in a different way, so the music didn’t get stale. It worked and fans are still as excited about the band as they were from the beginning.

Together, the two bands are excited to co-headline all summer long. Taking Back Sunday’s drummer Mark O’Connell says, “It’s funny, we’ve been friends all of this time but we’ve never done a full tour together. We ran into each other at some festivals last year and got to talking about it and here we are.”

Artist pre-sales for the show are available now but general on-sale happens on Feb. 23 at 10 AM. Tickets can be purchased at LiveNation.com with full dates available on Coheed and Cambria and Taking Back Sunday ‘s official websites.

LIVE: Taking Back Sunday, Coheed and Cambria, The Story So Far highlight what summer is all about

Posted by Logan White | Aug 20, 2018 | Featured , Live Reviews , News , Reviews | 0 |

We all know that this past summer marked the final cross-country run of the Vans Warped Tour. It was a summer of celebration and nostalgia for that scene in many ways — understandably so. However, lost in the mix of that is the opportunity for many unique tours that possibly wouldn’t happen if Warped Tour stuck around. Insert: this past summer’s Coheed and Cambria , Taking Back Sunday, and The Story So Far tour.

All three of the band’s on this lineup are Warped Tour veterans; Coheed and Cambria last played in 2007, Taking Back Sunday performed one date this year (before that it had been since 2012), and The Story So Far last performed on Warped Tour in 2016. It’s no guarantee that either of these bands would have joined Warped tour again in the future, but with each of them appearing multiple times, it’s safe to say that it is more probable than not. Even outside of the bands themselves, Warped Tour ending allows for fans to be excited about these tours and seeing their favorite bands on different tours, playing more songs with longer sets.

Kicking off the show was the always reliable group, The Story So Far . The band kicked off their set with the energetic “Empty Space” and used their set time to perform as many songs as they could. The band is gearing up to release their new album, Proper Dose , on September 21st via Pure Noise Records, so naturally they played a few new tracks live — “Out of It” and “Let It Go,” which you can stream above. The band are known for their energetic songs, which transform well live, as the band rips through them and feeds off of the crowd energy. An outdoor pavilion setting is new territory for the band because — outside of Warped Tour — they usually play at indoor club venues. Then Story So Far, at this point in their career, might be more familiar with indoor club shows, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t make the most out of their set. In addition, they threw in a cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog” which was a nice surprise, one that went over much better and that the band pulled off incredible well.

Second up on the night was Taking Back Sunday, who have toured constantly as a band since their inception in 1999. Earlier in their career, the band had numerous lineup changes, but since 2010 their lineup has stayed the same (minus the recent departure of founding guitarist Eddie Reyes), and that’s something that shows more so than ever in their live shows. There’s the classic mic swinging from vocalist Adam Lazzarra that everyone has come to expect from their live shows, but the musicianship also has consistently grown throughout their career. This is reflected not only in their music, as their musical growth from album-to-album remains undeniable, but their live shows benefit from this, as well. Guitarist/vocalist John Nolan and touring guitarist/backing vocalist Nathan Cogan compliment each other well, with bassist Shaun Cooper and drummer Mark O’Connell rounding out their impressive live show.

Taking Back Sunday was co-headlining the tour with Coheed and Cambria, meaning they were essentially given the same length of set a headliner would get. This is almost necessary for them, at they have seven full-length albums under their belt, and a string of hits and fan favorites, as well as their own personal favorite songs to play live. This includes their ever popular songs “Cute Without the ‘E’ (Cut From the Team),” “You’re So Last Summer,” and “MakeDamnSure,” while they sprinkled in tracks from 2016’s Tidal Wave — “All Excess,” “You Can’t Look Back,” and the title-track — and even have mixed in the under-appreciated “Set Phasers to Stun” from 2004’s Where You Want to Be .

All in all, Taking Back Sunday did a great job with their set — mixing in songs from all across their discography — and performed with tight musicianship and great crowd engagement all throughout. About halfway through their set it started raining, but no one in the crowd seemed to care too much. If anything, it only added to the experience for everyone there, giving them another memorable layer of this concert going experience.

Prog-rocking veterans Coheed and Cambria were up after Taking Back Sunday to close out the set. Coheed has been one of the more consistent bands in the music community since their inception in 1995, and much like Taking Back Sunday their live shows have only consistently gotten better. Similar to The Story So Far, they are also releasing a new album this fall: Vaxis – Act I: The Unheavenly Creatures, due out October 5th on Roadrunner Records. The band’s live show is very different than Taking Back Sunday, and instead s a little more similar to The Story So Far’s in that they spend most of their set blistering through their songs and not much time for breaks, other than guitar changes and such. Not only that, but the band relies heavily on their light show to take you into a completely different world, and it works masterfully.

Ultimately, they cover all of their bases in terms of covering music from their various releases, closing out their set with their biggest song, “Welcome Home.” The rain re-appeared during their set, adding another atmospheric layer to their set, closing out the show in style.

The atmosphere throughout the show was one of what you’d expect from an outdoor show in the summer. There was energy all night from the packed crowd, and it was palpable through all three sets. Warped Tour might be ending, but if that opens the gate for more tours like the one that Coheed and Cambria, Taking Back Sunday, and The Story So Far were able to put together, then we won’t be missing much for long.

Coheed And Cambria’s 2018 Tour Is A ’00s Scene Kid’s Dream In More Ways Than One

This summer, Coheed and Cambria is giving fans everywhere a chance to relive the alt-rock days of yore. Well, almost everywhere. According to Coheed and Cambria's tour dates , which the band unveiled via Facebook Tuesday, Feb. 20, they're slated to perform in more than 25 cities across the U.S. during July and August. And, just in case Coheed and Cambria's tour announcement wasn't enough cause for celebration, the band revealed they'll be hitting the road with Taking Back Sunday. So, for everyone who once dabbled in the early 2000s' punk-rock scene (honestly, who didn't?), this tour will probably feel like a walk down memory lane.

In a post that has since gained more than 10,000 likes on Facebook, Coheed and Cambria surprised fans with a two-part reveal: not only is the band gearing up for a cross-country tour, but they'll be teaming up with Taking Back Sunday and The Story So Far to do so. Coheed and Cambria wrote,

"The rumors were true! We're hitting the road this summer with a band we've been friends with for many years, but have never done a full tour with — Taking Back Sunday! The shows will mostly be outdoors and we'll make them special. Also joining the fray, our new friends from The Story So Far."

The post goes on to provide more details the tour, including a full list of dates, which span the better part of both July and August. The tour is slated to kick off in Miami on July 6 and wrap up in Phoenix some five weeks later, on August 12. Fans eager to snag their tickets will have the opportunity to do so early on Wednesday, Feb. 21, via a special pre-sale raffle , outlined on Coheed and Cambria's website. For everyone else, regular tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 23, at 10 a.m. EST.

So, if there are any rock music enthusiasts out there longing for some mosh pit-laden nostalgia, the upcoming Coheed and Cambria/Taking Back Sunday tour is probably worth checking out. The full list of summer tour dates is as follows:

• July 6 – Miami, FL at Bayfront Park Amphitheater
• July 7 – Tampa, FL at MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre
• July 8 – Jacksonville, FL at Daily's Place Amphitheater
• July 10 – Atlanta, GA at Chastain Park Amphitheater

• Aug. 12 – Phoenix, AZ at Comerica Theatre

While this summer will mark the first time they've ever embarked on a full-fledged tour together, the two bands have known each other for quite a while. Of course, that doesn't come as much of a shock, considering that Coheed and Cambria and Taking Back Sunday both rose to punk-rock prominence around the same time.

Coheed and Cambria, whose music incorporates elements of rock, pop, and heavy metal, first got their start more than two decades ago in 1995. Since then, the band has become perhaps best-known for its "concept albums," which historically embodied a more narrative, science-fiction theme. With that being said, their most recent album, 2015's The Color Before The Sun (which focused predominantly on frontman Claudio Sanchez's life) marked a stylistic shift for the band and introduced a more intimate kind of sound. Taking Back Sunday , quite similarly, rose to prominence in the early 2000s, along with the rise of the "emo" music scene. And while Taking Back Sunday is probably still best known for its early 2000s hits ("MakeDamnSure," "Cute Without The 'E'," and "Liar," to name a few), the band released its most recent full-length album, Tidal Wave , in 2016.

So, if you've got a hankering for some punk-rock throwbacks, Coheed and Cambria's upcoming tour seems like the place to be. At the very least, there will be some solid opportunities for head-banging. You know, for old time's sake.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Emo kids, unite.  Coheed And Cambria and  Taking Back Sunday will co-headline a Jacobs Pavilion concert this summer.

The two rock bands, along with opener pop-punk band The Story So Far , are touring around the country in July and August. They will stop by Cleveland on July 29.

Coheed And Cambria began over two decades ago in 1995 with a cinematic, progressive metal sound. The band usually puts out science fiction-themed concept albums, but most recently put out 2015's "The Color Before The Sun," which focused on frontman Claudio Sanchez's personal life.

Taking Back Sunday became one of the most popular bands in the rise of emo music in the 2000s with songs like "MakeDamnSure," "Cute Without The 'E'" and "Liar." It most recently put out the full-length album "Tidal Wave" in June 2016.

"It's funny, we've been friends all of this time but we've never done a full tour together," said Taking Back Sunday drummer Mark O'Connell. "We ran into each other at some festivals last year and got to talking about it, and here we are."

Tickets for the Coheed And Cambria and Taking Back Sunday concert go on sale on Feb. 23. Find more information here .

Jacobs Pavilion is located at 2014 Sycamore St, Cleveland.
