After reuniting last year, Jack's Mannequin — the band that began in 2004 as the solo project of Something Corporate's Andrew McMahon — have announced their first North American tour in a long spell, celebrating 20 years of the band. The headlining trek is slated to include a couple of Canadian stops in Toronto and Vancouver this November.
"Jack's Mannequin was born out of one of the most prolific and transformative periods of my life," McMahon said in a statement. "The songs narrate my journey from youth to adulthood, heartbreak to marriage, cancer to remission. The health crisis at the heart of this journey often made it difficult for me to fully appreciate just how magical this music was and how powerfully it connected me to my bandmates and the audiences we played it for."
He continued, "It's been nearly fifteen years since the band and I have toured this catalog exclusively and it feels like such a gift to do so at a time in my life when I feel able to truly celebrate what we created together. Jack's was always two things: a studio project and a live band that toured relentlessly. I'm so excited to bring it all back to life onstage for the fans that made it possible to take that strange and beautiful ride."
To celebrate the announcement, the band are kicking off the tour today in Venice, CA. Aside from a February performance at Tempe, AZ's Innings Festival, the tour won't really get underway until the month of June. After taking breaking through much of July, August and September, McMahon and co. return to the road in October.
The MFEO Tour finally makes its way to Canada the following month, beginning with a Toronto performance at History on November 7. Jack's will go on to play Vancouver's Vogue Theatre on November 18 ahead of wrapping the stint on November 23 in Del Mar, CA.
Tickets go on general sale this Friday (January 31), following presales beginning tomorrow (January 28) at 10 a.m. local time. See the full itinerary below, and Exclaim!'s Canadian concert listings in their entirety here.
