Hawthorne Heights announce 20 Years of Tears Tour

Beloved emo rock band Hawthorne Heights will embark on a trek across the United States in celebration of the 20th anniversary of The Silence in Black and White.

Announced yesterday, the 20 Years of Tears Tour will kick off on June 23 at Salt Lake City’s Granary Live, and it’ll conclude on September 15 at Worcester’s Palladium. For this trek, Hawthorne Heights will bring some old friends to celebrate a time period where emo was all over rock radio. Thursday, Saosin, Anberlin, I See Stars, Cartel, Armor For Sleep, Stick To Your Guns, and Emery will join on select shows. This Wild Life will join the entire trek.

Hawthorne Heights vocalist JT Woodruff said this about the trek, which surrounds the band’s Is For Lovers festival dates:

“20 Years of Tears is a celebration of the genre that raised an entire generation, with basement-born bands to stadium headliners. Emo comes in all shapes and sizes and has touched the hearts and minds of people from all walks of life. With some of the biggest names of the MySpace Generation, this lineup is designed to give you the energy you had while feeling so misunderstood, as a ‘misguided’ youth. This is not just a summer concert, it is a must-see event that can reignite the fire inside all of us as we sing and scream together like it's 2004.”

Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday (April 19) at 10 a.m. local time here.
