3 Doors Down to Celebrate 20th Anniversary of ‘Away from the Sun’ with Tour
3 Doors Down are honoring the belated 20th anniversary of their “Away from the Sun” album
3 Doors Down will hit the road on a lengthy 2023 US tour in honor of the belated 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking 2002 sophomore album, “Away from the Sun.” Candlebox will be support on the trek.
The tour will set off on June 14 in Baltimore, Maryland, and go through a Sept. 23 date in Sugar Land, Texas. In addition to the tour, Candlebox will also serve as support for 3 Doors Down for the 18th annual “The Better Life Foundation Concert,” which is 3 Doors Down’s charity organization. That event is set for Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort in Cherokee, North Carolina, on Oct, 21.
A Live Nation pre-sale begins Wednesday (March 22) at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster using the code OPENER, and a general on-sale starts Friday (March 24) at 10 a.m. local time.
3 Doors Down introduced “Away from the Sun” to the world in November 2002. The album has pushed 8 million copies worldwide and hit No. 8 on the Billboard 200, buoyed by chart-toppers such as “Here Without You” and “When I’m Gone.”
“Away from the Sun has always been a personal favorite of mine because of how much it resonated with our country’s [military] service members,” 3 Doors Down vocalist Brad Arnold said in a statement. “We are so blessed to be able to celebrate these significant milestones because we were very young making these albums, and we still have so much more life to give our fans.”
He added, “The show we are planning will be next level this year. It’s going to be incredible to have Candlebox on tour with us. I’ve been a fan of theirs since I was a teenager.”
