Dashboard Confessional will revive the arrangements from their 2002 MTV Unplugged performance back to the stage for a 15-date tour in 2027. The Unplugged: 25th Anniversary Tour opens March 12 in Chicago and wraps April 3 in San Francisco.
Dashboard Confessional taped their Unplugged set in New York City in April 2002. The performance featured “Screaming Infidelities,” “The Best Deceptions” and “Hands Down” and yielded the band’s first platinum release. Frontman Chris Carrabba recently played a series of solo acoustic shows in Nashville, New York and Los Angeles.
“I’m excited to carry that spirit into bigger venues with the band arrangements from our original Unplugged performance,” Carrabba said in a statement.
The tour begins indoors at The Salt Shed and makes its lone Canadian stop at Toronto’s Massey Hall on March 15. The run also includes shows at Brooklyn Paramount, The Anthem in Washington, D.C., The Pinnacle in Nashville and the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, among other stops, before the finale at The Masonic.
The Saints & Sailors fan club presale begins Thursday, November 12 at 9 a.m. local time, followed by the artist presale at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, November 13 at 10 a.m. local time.
