Their twitter says that the rest of the year they will be playing this album from front to back, which I assume includes the dates on the Parkway Drive tour. Also, a 10 year exclusive VIP variant is available with these tour dates: Roots Above And Branches Below - 10 Year Anniversary Tour
ABR and PWD are a draw for me too, but with all 3 bands, I prefer their older material and was kind of lukewarm on this run. The combination of all 3 bands PLUS TDWP playing Roots though, that's another story.
in case anybody is bummed the press release i got says: "The first leg of the tour kicks off on September 27 in Seattle and runs through October 12 in Springfield, Missouri. The trek includes several stops in Canada, as well. Additional legs will be announced in due time."
Highly doubt they play the whole album on the PWD tour considering they're 2nd opening band. Doubt they have time for the whole album
I had the same thought, but there's only 4 bands on the bill and the whole album is only 40 minutes. I could see Polaris getting 20-25 minutes, TDWP gets 45, ABR 1 hr, PWD 80 minutes
VIP packages and the confirmation of more dates (the main reason I shared). Fingers crossed for a Vegas date and for FFAK as support still.

Mr. Small and the Newport huh? Makes me wish I went to the show in Cleveland last year when they played a small club.
Gonna be a hike to get to get out to this, but I cant miss a opportunity to see them FINALLY play Louder Than Thunder live! Plus the new FFAK crushes & 68 is always fun to see live! Should be a great time!
I'd have to drive from Anaheim to Sacramento or Vegas due to already having show commitments on 12/1 and 12/2. If it doesn't work out at least I got a great set of newer songs on the PWD tour.
Even if FFAK studio material isn't your thing, I've never met a person who said they thought they had a bad live show.
Agreed. Their first two albums never really clicked for me and then I saw them opening for Being As An Ocean a few years ago and they were incredible. Now I love all their albums (especially the new one). They are great live.
First night. Just watched Mike Hrancia struggle to open the tour bus door for like 2 minutes and then they couldn’t get it closed again. Lol
