I believe Megadeth just did this recently too. Announced intentions to release one more album and do final tour dates, but are supporting Iron Maiden next fall. Interesting move, but gives fans a chance to see them regardless.
Megadeth said they were doing one more album cycle. So I mean I’m sure you got the maiden tour, a B market headliner, and a major city final tour at minimum
I’m assuming Megadeth will do their own tour after the Iron Maiden run. But this also isn’t super unusual. Sum 41 opened for The Offspring after they announced they were splitting up. The Dillinger Escape plan also opened for Soundgarden during their farewell run too
Megadeth (and the others) make sense. Because I'm sure Megadeth will be on this final tour for at least 2-3 years. The Maiden tour is the start and I'm sure it'll go into headlinesr in the States and overseas from there. When letlive. came back they made it sound like we're doing these very limited dates to have a formal goodbye and sendoff to this project and then no more. So it feels bizarre to me to make that very limited run a support run for a Hawthorne Heights anniversary tour.
I will probably have to go to this. I’ve always wanted to see Creeper/Letlive and this album is a fun time. Surprised they are doing the Roseland. I wouldn’t be shocked if the venue was half full.
The HOB in Anaheim seems kind of ambitious for them. The last time they played it, they played the Parish (the 400 cap side venue). But I guess the album play and the openers will help with sales. But I’m interested to see how this turns out
The Belasco and HOB are very ambitious for this. Even with letlive who didn't sell out the wiltern recently. I'll go to this tour, likely I'll be able to get a free ticket since I doubt this will sell out
Going to wait for this one to undersell before buying. Tickets are $48 for GA and $70 for Balcony. I feel like that is incredibly ambitious especially in this economy lol
I’ll appreciate them playing OC, but it feels like they were here every few months for a while there. HOB feels too big, Observatory feels the same, but they’re too big for Garden Amp. Will be interesting to see how this sells and if Evvntly has a bunch of free ones.
I know we all joke about HH playing their first album back to back a billion times, but have they ever done a 'If Only You Were Lonely' tour?
I haven't listened to If Only You Were Lonely in years (decades?), but that tour would be a lot of fun at the Castle.
For what it's worth "If Only You Were Lonely" is definitely a better album than TSIB&W in my opinion.
It's probably very obvious, but the album for this tour that Hawthorne Heights is playing for this tour doesn't matter all that much to me. letlive. could be opening for Michael Bolton in March for all I care and I'd still be making an effort to be there.
Makes me wonder if there not being anything in the Midwest on that tour means that a Detroit Warped Tour date came to fruition...
Actually now that you mention it, Bloomington instead of Chicago is a very odd choice. Very possibly some radius clause fuckery.
The Castle is actually a perfect venue for a tour like this. I’ve seen it packed on weeknights for bands that play smaller rooms in bigger cities. It’s the kind of place where people are just glad to have shows at all so smaller and less trendy bands actually get treated like a big deal
