* no Kevin Devine

 

Going to Toronto. Interesting they aren't billing this as a "Farewell Tour" or "9" as their final album. Hope this means a slightly more active band going forward.

 

Also, it appears that all Kevin Devine appearances will be solo, acoustic shows.

 

The breakup rumors have been dismissed by the folks at EVR sourcing Chris.

 

link?

 

Honestly just read the press release for the album, it's very very clear that they are not breaking up. Chris literally says something like "I've finally settled with a group of people I can make music with my whole life"

 

Stoked as hell

Wish KDev was full band. As much as I love him and solo sets, I feel like people will just talk loudly during his set

 

Why no Kevin Devine in Chicago?

 

He'll be added after Riot Fest is over.

 

I forgot he was playing Riot Fest. That makes sense now.

 

Saw std with Coheed and they sucked? What is the mental breakdown of lead singer I heard about?

 

Kevin has been getting on a lot of good tours lately. Wish this was coming to the west coast

 

Please don’t tarnish the good lord Saves The Day name. You’re better off just leaving this thread honestly

 

The last time Saves the Day played Magic Stick it was in 2013. I missed that tour, but they played a 35 song set, apparently. I'm so excited.

 

That tour was insane! STD played like 2.5 hours and IIOI and Hostage Calm opened

 

Well let's hope this new music comes more often than every 5 years because they've been pretty inactive for a lot of that time.

 

There were 4 years between Under the Boards and Daybreak, so this isn't unheard of for them, and they've only really been inactive for the last year. It does seem like a bit of a reset for them, so I think we could expect to see a period of higher activity over the next several years.

 

Plus in all the years since Sound the Alarm, and even in the years between UtB and Daybreak, they have toured constantly and consistently up until the TBC anniversary tour. I think after ten years of the tour/record cycle, the couple years off was well deserved.

 

Not really - per setlist.fm they played 4 shows in 2015, 28 in 2016, 3 in 2017 and none so far in 2018. So apart from that one run they did with Coheed in Fall 2016, they've been effectively inactive for the better part of 4 years. Hoping the new album spurs more activity once they finish this run but I'm not sure what would've changed this year to allow them to be a much more active band going forward. They're my favorite band though so here's hoping...

 

If anyone gets the Spotify presale code, please share!

Thank you so so much. What is the link? I might just be an idiot and can't find where to put in the code on Ticketmaster :/

 

Better presale here (almost no fees)!

Thanks! Trying to get tickets for the Boston date though. They had sold out before I could get the presale. I was able to get a presale ticket for the NJ show. I feel like seeing them on their home turf will be a special experience. But I also want to see the on my home turf haha.

 

Woah, sorry! They went much more quickly than I imagined they would. And yeah, Stone Pony is going to be especially great - they always play bigger venues here.
