Be Your Own Pet Book 20th Anniversary Tour for Debut Album

Be Your Own Pet will spend much of 2026 on the road. The Nashville band is marking 20 years since its self-titled debut with a multi-leg US tour that stakes out three distinct regions across the warmer months.

The first run hits the South and Southwest in July, followed by a West Coast stretch in September. A final Northeast leg lands in October. City-by-city details are yet to surface, but the geographic spread already suggests a proper coast-to-coast return rather than a handful of nostalgia dates.

The anniversary lands at an interesting moment. Be Your Own Pet burned bright and fast in the mid-2000s, dissolving in 2008 before their raw, twitchy garage punk had fully saturated the circuit. Their reunion in 2022, after 14 silent years, wasn’t accompanied by a new record or a grand comeback narrative. It was just a handful of shows, played with the same reckless energy, and a quiet confirmation that the band still worked on its own terms.

This tour scales that impulse up. There’s no album to push, no documentary to cross-promote. It’s a tour about a record that turned 20, fronted by a band that never bothered with cycles to begin with. That makes it feel less like an obligation and more like a choice, something Rombo is happy to note.
