Taking Back Sunday Announce Summer Tour With Bayside

Taking Back Sunday will hit the road this summer for a run of shows alongside Bayside, with the outing scheduled to take place between May 31st and June 21st.

The tour brings the two longtime scene staples back together after decades of shared history stretching back to their earliest days playing local shows around Long Island and the tri-state area. What began in small basement venues and dive bars eventually evolved into years of touring, label connections, and collaborative milestones — including Bayside joining in the celebration of Taking Back Sunday’s ‘Tell All Your Friends’ anniversary run in 2012.

Announcing the trek, the band reflected on that relationship in a statement:

“We first started playing shows with Bayside around Long Island and the greater tri-state area in the early 2000s. We played in basements and dive bars. The shows weren’t very well attended but we were having the time of our lives.

Since those days, we’ve been fortunate enough to remain friends and share labels and stages across the globe. In 2012 Bayside was kind enough to join us in celebrating our 10 year anniversary of Tell All Your Friends. After 14 years, we thought it was about damn time we hit the road with them again. We can’t wait to see you out there!”
