Life of Agony will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their acclaimed 1995 album Ugly with a tour performing the record in its entirety for the first time ever. The tour kicks off in the U.S. on September 19 in Bensalem, PA, with God Forbid joining on select dates and Jasta supporting the full U.S. run. Following the North American leg, the band will head to Europe in November with special guests Ugly Kid Joe. Tickets are on sale at this location.
Guitarist Joey Zampella comments:
“Everyone was expecting River Runs Red, Part 2, but Ugly was a left, right, and U-turn! People were like, ‘Okay, this is different?! It took some time to sink its hooks into our listeners, but when it did, it became a classic. I’m super excited to celebrate the ‘Ugly Duckling’ of the L.O.A. catalog!”
Bassist Alan Robert adds:
“Ugly was probably the most emotionally vulnerable record we ever made. It was a big risk back then—to release something so different from River Runs Red — but we were just in a much different headspace, and we always wore our hearts on our sleeves. The album ended up connecting with people in a deep, lasting way. Playing it live from front to back is going to be powerful for both the band and the fans.”
Singer Keith Caputo states:
“I’m very excited to get back out on the road to play Ugly in its entirety and to share the stage with God Forbid, our boy Jasta, and our good buddies from Ugly Kid Joe — along with our special friend Whitfield Crane. I might even have to convince Whit to sing an L.O.A. song with us out there. That would be so cool. I’m looking forward to creating more incredible moments with L.O.A. and making memories with great people in killer bands. Come hang out with us for an unforgettable night of music and entertainment.”
