Thursday have announced they will extend their reunion to celebrate their 20th Anniversary by embarking on a U.S tour in support of 2001’s Full Collapse and 2003’s War All the Time. The band announced it will be the end of their reunion, as they did not expect their return to last for over two years. The New Jersey’s post hardcore outfit has revealed if they ever considered to reunite again, it would be a separate and brand new chapter of their career.
Similar to how they started, the band booked small venues and will perform Full Collapse on “show one” and War All The Time on “show two.” The first leg of the U.S. trek kicks off on January 10th and runs through January 31st with Vein joining in as support. American Pleasure Club will join the group’s second leg that kicks off on February 15th in Washington DC and runs through March 17th in Brooklyn, NY. Tickets go on sale this Friday (2nd) at 10:00AM local time.
The band issued the following statement:
“It’s our honor to announce that we’ll be ending our 20th Anniversary by taking Full Collapse and War All the Time on the road, for a very limited US tour, in early 2019. When we reunited the band, two years ago, we had no idea that it would carry us through our 20th year or that we’d be selling out every show that we play in 2018. It’s been a very gratifying and humbling year for us. This tour is our attempt at saying ‘thank you’ to all of the people around the US that have supported us for all these years. We’ll be playing small venues, like we did when we began touring. At the conclusion of this tour, we intend to put an end to ‘the reunion.’ When we stopped playing last time, it wasn’t on the best of terms. This time, we get to put down touring on the very highest of notes: in each other’s lives and able to pick up and play together behind closed doors whenever we want. If we are ever able to do Thursday again, it will be a new, separate chapter. Thank you all for your time, attention and friendship.”
