Underoath announce 'Define The Great Line' 20th anniversary tour
Underoath will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Define The Great Line with a trek across the United States.
Revealed today, the tour will kick off on November 5 at The Pageant in St. Louis, and it’ll conclude on December 18 at Yuengling Center in Tampa. The tour will feature support from longtime friends August Burns Red, Atreyu, As Cities Burn, and Emery.
Keyboardist Chris Dudley said this about the forthcoming tour:
“What this album has meant to us, and so many others, over the past 20 years is hard to quantify. It gave us permission to be ourselves. It sent us around the world. It gave people the freedom to say (and scream) the things out loud they had buried deep. It will outlive us. We still play these songs on stage 20 years later and get those chills. The opportunity to devote an entire tour to presenting this album in the best way it ever has been, alongside friends we’ve had since before it was released, is going to be bucket list material for us.”
Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday (June 12) at 10 a.m. local time. Citi presale tickets will go on sale today with other presales launching later this week. Tickets can be purchased here.
Released in 2006, Define The Great Line debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart. The 11-track record spawned set staples "Writing on the Walls”and "In Regards to Myself.” The music video for "Writing on the Walls" earned a Grammy nomination for Best Music Video in 2007.
