Mississippi rockers 3 Doors Down are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album “Away from the Sun” with a tour that will feature songs from the album and other hits.  Pre-sale tickets go on sale March 21 with sales to the general public beginning March 24.

Candlebox will be joining 3 Doors Down for the tour.


“Away from the Sun” spawned the hits “Here Without You” and “When I’m Gone”. The album went on to be certified five times platinum for selling at least five million copies in the United States.  “When I’m Gone” went on to top the Billboard singles chart for 17 weeks; while “Here Without You” was certified six time platinum in the United States.


For fans who cannot wait to see the band can catch them March 25 on an episode of “The Song” (check local listings for time and channel).

Reportedly the “Away from the Sun” anniversary tour will be the last tour in the US for the rockers who are also celebrating 30 years as a band.  What is being reported as their final album is set to be released later this year.

Brad Arnold from 3 Doors Down spoke on “Away from the Sun” saying, “’Away from the Sun’ has always been a personal favourite of mine because of how much it resonated with our country’s service members.  We are so blessed to be able to celebrate these significant milestones because we were very young making these albums, and we still have so much more life to give our fans. The show we are planning will be next level this year. It’s going to be incredible to have Candlebox on tour with us. I’ve been  a fan of theirs since I was a teenager.”
