Thrice Announce Farewell Tour Dates

By 1 Comment

ThriceThrice have released the dates for their upcoming farewell tour. An announcement from the band and the tour dates can be seen below.

Hey folks,

By now you’ve probably heard that we announced the dates for our “Farewell Tour” this May/June with Animals As Leaders (and another very special guest). If you missed those dates, you can find them here. If you’d like to buy tickets, you can do that here. Ticket pre-sales began yesterday and tickets will be made available to the general public on Thursday March 1. We’d be honored and thankful if you’d join us for one (or more) of the shows on this last tour for the foreseeable future. Please don’t delay, because these tickets will go quickly.

It’s never been easy for us to decide what to play on tour. And now, with eight LPs and a handful of B-sides and covers under our collective belts, and given the circumstances of this tour, it’s as daunting a task as it’s ever been.

So we’re asking you to help us out.

Pick as many songs as you’d like, and we’ll use the info we gather from the poll to put together the best setlists we possibly can. Keep in mind that we’ll be recording several of these shows for a live album that we hope to put out later this year, so choose wisely.

We’re really looking forward to this tour and want to thank you all for your support, whether you’ve been onboard since “˜98 or just heard us for the first time yesterday. We couldn’t have done this without you guys.

See you in a couple of months.

-Riley & Thrice

Thrice Cancels Remaining Tour Dates

By 1 Comment

Thrice has cancelled their remaining tour dates with Manchester Orchestra due to a family emergency.

Due to a family emergency, Dustin had to fly home this morning, and as a result, we will not be playing tonight’s show in St. Louis.

Thanks for your understanding.

**UPDATE**

The remaining dates on our co-headline tour with Manchester Orchestra (& O’Brother) have been cancelled. Ticket refunds will be made available at point of purchase. We are very very sorry to have to do this, but please trust that we would not be taking this sort of action unless dire circumstances were involved.
