There was so much good music released in 2005, and those of us old enough to remember it are now reaping the rewards of sticking around. Case in point, the Fray are celebrating 20 years of How to Save a Life with a massive anniversary tour this year.
Dates all over the US and Europe dot their itinerary from March until November, with a pair of Canadian dates taking place this summer: Trois-Rivieres' FestiVoix de Trois-Rivieres on July 6 and Toronto's History on August 7. Select dates will see support from the Strike and/or Landon Barker.
"We wrote songs in our parents' basements and our grandpa's barn, dreaming of playing our music with the world one day. We never imagined that the songs from How to Save a Life would still hold new meaning 20 years later," vocalist Joe King said in a release. "It's an incredible honour to celebrate the album's 20th anniversary on tour this summer. We can't wait to perform these songs and share their stories with you. Come sing with us — we'll see you soon!"
An artist presale begins tomorrow (February 19) at 10 a.m. local time, with various presales running up until the general on-sale on February 21, beginning at 10 a.m. local. See the schedule below.
