Underoath are ready to celebrate one of their earliest post-hardcore masterstrokes on an upcoming tour. Specifically, the Florida quintet are bringing 2004's landmark, band-redefining They're Only Chasing Safety out on a 20th-anniversary run, which will see them playing the album in full across North America.
The group announced the trek this morning (April 16th), explaining that their forthcoming fall leg of dates will feature both a front-to-back performance of the album in question, as well as a fan-voted second set of songs. Ticket buyers will be able to make regionally-specific requests for pretty much any Underoath track made between Safety and now. Deep cuts or live staples — whatever gets the most votes will be what makes the set.
"Twenty. Years. This is going to be like nothing we've ever done," the band commented in a joint statement. "They're Only Chasing Safety in full every night plus another set of songs voted on by each city. Every song from every album over the past 20 years will be on the table. Let's get nuts."
Pre-sales begin this Wednesday (April 17th), while tickets go up for sale to the general public on Friday (April 19th). VIP packages are also being offered; these will grant fans "an informal hang with the band," an exclusive anniversary edition of They're Only Chasing Safety on vinyl, and copy of a new, 24-page comic book loosely based on They're Only Chasing Safety, which is being published through Sumerian Comics.
Revolver's presale launches this Thursday (April 18th) at 10 a.m. local time. PASSWORD = RevolverUO.
They're Only Chasing Safety was Underoath's fourth full-length release. It marked a turning point for the band, as it was the first to feature longtime vocalist Spencer Chamberlain, bassist Grant Brandell and since-departed guitarist James Smith.
