When it comes to rock bands pairing up for a tour, a co-headliner is not uncommon; however, a triple headliner is not so common. But that is what Switchfoot, Blue October, and Matt Nathanson have planned this summer.
The bands are planning to co-ordinate their set lists to compliment each other. The rockers will rotate the order of performances for a truly original and groundbreaking experience.
Tickets are now on sale to the general public.
Speaking on the upcoming tour, Switchfoot’s Jon Foreman said, “there’s nothing better than a summer tour with your frineds. Can’t wait to see what kind of magic/mayhem/mischief happens once we get out on the road together.”
Justin Furstenfeld of Blue October added, “when three incredibly hardworking bands with such a huge timeless catalog of songs can actually get together on one stage to celebrate life together, it is an experience I don’t want to miss out on, and neither should you. I can’t wait to bring all of our communities together to celebrate.”
Matt Nathanson concluded, “I’m so psyched to hit the road with the guys in Switchfoot and Blue October. There really is nothing like traveling the country and getting to play music with, and for, your friends all summer”.
