The fall run brings together three bands that shaped post-hardcore’s early 2000s sound, with a Red Rocks date marking the 20th anniversary of Louder Now.
Taking Back Sunday will head back out this autumn with Thrice and Saves the Day, a package that pulls from a specific era of post-hardcore and emo without feeling like a simple nostalgia exercise. The tour starts September 23 in Wallingford, Connecticut and closes October 18 in Las Vegas, hitting theatres and mid-sized rooms across the country.
It arrives on the heels of a spring run with Bayside, and the band has also confirmed slots at Shaky Knees, Louder than Life, and the reanimated Vans Warped Tour. The routing places them in front of audiences that range from festival catch-all crowds to rooms where the sound these three bands helped define still anchors entire scenes.
One date stands apart. On October 15, they play Red Rocks Amphitheatre, a show built around the 20th anniversary of Louder Now. That album pushed Taking Back Sunday toward a sharper, more polished aggression and produced songs that still get heavy rotation. Bringing Thrice and Saves the Day into that setting feels less like a throwback and more like a deliberate bookend.
Adam Lazzara mentioned the care that’s gone into preparing new arrangements and the shape the band has taken in rehearsals. “Who better to go out on the road to share all that with than Saves the Day and Thrice,” he said. The quote points to history, not hype. These are artists who came up in overlapping orbits and understand what a setlist like this requires.
The lineup’s strength is in its sequencing. Each band represents a different strand of the same musical conversation, and the bill leaves space for that difference instead of trying to smooth it over.
