Switchfoot Announces 38-Date Fall Tour

GRAMMY-winning rock band Switchfoot will bring their captivating live show to fans across the country this fall as a part of their headlining Forever Now Tour with special guest Anberlin. Named after their forthcoming album Forever Now — due June 26 — the tour will hit 38 cities with stops in major markets like Los Angeles, Chicago, Nashville and more. Presale for the tour begins tomorrow, May 12 at 10 a.m. local time with general onsale beginning this Friday, May 15 at 10 a.m. local time — tickets can be purchased here.

“We poured everything we have into making Forever Now, but we always say that an album isn’t finished until you take it on tour,” said Tim Foreman, founding member and bassist of Switchfoot. “Playing new songs on the road and seeing them connect with fans every single night is a gift. These songs are incredibly meaningful to us… increasingly relevant in the ‘strange, strange times’ we live in. We can’t wait to hit the road and play these new tunes live for the very first time on the Forever Now Tour this fall.”

“We’ve been friends with Anberlin for years,” added Jon Foreman, founding member and lead vocalist of Switchfoot. “We’ve got so much love and respect for them, and their former bands (Acceptance anyone?), and it’s a true gift to be touring with Anberlin again.”

“It’s been 15 years since we’ve toured with Switchfoot and we couldn’t be more stoked!” said Nate Young of Anberlin. “We followed along their careers and personal lives with great love and admiration and it’s an honor to get back out on the road with them.”

In addition to general onsale this Friday, the beloved rock band will release another preview of Forever Now with new single “Absolution,” available on streaming platforms on May 15. The song serves as a cry of the post-modern crisis — a jarring juxtaposition of an upbeat, catchy melody colliding with a lyric that is deadly earnest. The track is set to be the band’s next single at Alternative radio, impacting on Tuesday, June 2. Switchfoot released the forthcoming album’s lead track, “Wake Up, Mr. Crow,” in March, setting the tone of the guitar-driven record.

Born from an intense and highly emotional period of songwriting, musical discovery and keen cultural observation, Forever Now is the most thematic and narrative-driven album of Switchfoot’s already storied career. The band’s fourteenth full-length studio LP — produced by longtime collaborator and accomplished producer, Mike Elizondo — centers on the emotional roller coaster of a person’s final day on Earth. And more specifically, the questions one might ask themselves if confronted with a harsh but potentially enlightening reality. Watch the album’s trailer here. The new project adds to their extensive and widely known discography across thirteen studio albums, with over 10 million copies sold worldwide. In 2023, the award-winning band celebrated the 20th anniversary of their triple-Platinum album The Beautiful Letdown with a re-recording of the full record as well as a deluxe edition featuring guest features from artists like Tyler Joseph (Twenty One Pilots), Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic), Jon Bellion, Jonas Brothers and more.
