Third Eye Blind have announced a lengthy U.S. run with Taking Back Sunday and Hockey Dad

Alternative rock mainstays Third Eye Blind are back with a fresh round of tour dates for 2022. The trek, dubbed the “Summer Gods: 25 Years in the Blind” tour, will also feature support from Taking Back Sunday and Hockey Dad.

The tour is in honor of Third Eye Blind’s 25th anniversary as a band, dating back to their 1997 self-titled debut album. “Twenty-five years of Third Eye Blind finds us feeling glorious as if everything is coming into deeper focus,” vocalist Stephan Jenkins said in a statement. “It’s not lost on us that this is a miracle, and that we are in it because of the new fans that keep discovering us and the people who, over the years, have made our music part of their culture.”

Taking Back Sunday guitarist John Nolan says the tour pairing is a good fit. “In the early days of Taking Back Sunday, Adam and I used to drive around in his old Honda listening to Third Eye Blind’s second album, Blue; windows down, smoking cigarettes and singing along,” Nolan said. “If someone had told us back then that one day we’d tour together, it would’ve blown our minds. We’re so excited to be out with Third Eye Blind this summer, singing our songs and singing along with theirs.”

The tour will kick off June 22 and run through Aug. 13. View the full list of tour dates below. Tickets for the tour go on sale starting Friday (Feb. 18) at Third Eye Blind’s website.

All the fun is for a good cause, too, as Third Eye Blind are giving back to charity with the “Summer Gods” tour by donating to the restoration of a portion of the Palos Verdes Kelp Forest, named the Blind Reef. “Proceeds of each ticket will help our friends in the surf community at SeaTrees to restore the kelp ecosystem that sequesters carbon off of the California coast,” a press release states.
