Taking Back Sunday have announced some big plans for their 20th anniversary next year, with plans for a special world tour and plans to release a career-spanning compilation album that covers all of their seven full-length studio albums: 2002’s Tell All Your Friends, 2004’s Where You Want to Be, 2006’s Louder Now, 2009’s New Again, 2011’s Taking Back Sunday, 2014’s Happiness Is, and 2016’s Tidal Wave.
The album, Twenty, will be 21 songs and will be released on January 11th. The track-listing and more details will be announced soon, and pre-sales for the album will go live on October 30th, 2018. In addition to the songs off previous albums, the compilation will feature two new songs from Taking Back Sunday.
“It feels strange to say out loud…2019 marks 20 years since I joined Taking Back Sunday and my life changed forever,” remarks vocalist Adam Lazzara. “So, next year we will be traveling the world to celebrate the amazing brotherhood, music and life we have created together over the past 20 years. We hope you can join us for what is sure to be an experience to remember.”
Regarding the 20th anniversary tour — with the first leg announced that includes Australia, Asia, North America, and South America — Taking Back Sunday have something special in store for their fans. At all of their shows, the band will be performing Tell All Your Friends in its entirety. For shows where the band are performing over two nights, each set will offer a double-album play — which the band will use a specially designed coin to flip and decide between performing either Where You Want to Be or Louder Now, in addition to Tell All Your Friends. In instances where they are only in a city for one night, they will perform Tell All Your Friends and fan favorites from across their catalogue.
You will find all of Taking Back Sunday’s announced tour dates for their 20th anniversary celebration, and be on the lookout for additional legs to be announced.
