For fans of pop punk, it's time to spike up the hair and prep those vocal chords because New Found Glory is bringing their 20th Anniversary "Catalyst" tour to stages across North America. The legendary band confirmed they are celebrating two decades since the release of their hit album "Catalyst" with a tour featuring fan favorites such as "All Downhill From Here" and "Truth of My Youth."
Marathon Music Works in Nashville is set for a live blast from the past on Sunday, Sept. 1., when New Found Glory is expected to perform their iconic record in its entirety. Special guest, Sincere Engineer will be joining the festivities, guitarist Chad Gilbert was quoted by Idobi Radio, "We can make these records and branch out creatively, and they know we’re never going to do something really weird. We are who we are, and I love that we can play whatever and still crush it.”
The band, according to a BrooklynVegan report, is also embracing the nostalgia that comes with revisiting an album that, as Gilbert explains, occurred at a time when “We decided to keep being ourselves. Rock bands were going a little more pop at that time, but we wanted to carve out a lane for ourselves and say, ‘Look, we’re part of this genre and love it, but we’re also one of a kind and different.’”
Pre-sale tickets and VIP packages have already hit the virtual shelves while the general public will get to scramble for their seats starting Friday, March 15. Those interested can snag tickets through their website, as detailed by WKRN.
With anticipation building, pop punk enthusiasts are gearing up for what could be, as Idobi Radio captured, a tour that continues to evoke the same high energy that has been the hallmark of the band since they burst onto the scene in 1997.
