Jimmy Eat World is spending 2026 touring behind the record that pulled emo out of scene basements and onto the radio: Bleed American turns 25 this year, and the band built a full anniversary run around it.

The band announced the tour in its own official statement in February, with drummer Zach Lind describing the run as “a second chance to show appreciation to fans who provided their livelihood for the past 25 years.” Frontman Jim Adkins framed the production as a step forward rather than a straight nostalgia lap, calling it an elevated version of the band’s live show reflecting “25 years of learning how to stretch artistically in the live environment,” per the same statement.

Tickets moved through an artist presale on February 11 and a general on-sale on February 13 via JimmyEatWorld.com, according to Billboard’s rundown of the announcement.

The routing covers most of the year. June opened with Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver, then rolled through Chicago, Detroit, Washington D.C., Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and Boston. July brought Pacific Northwest and California dates plus a stop at the Long Beach Warped Tour revival on July 25 and 26. The band picked up sold-out nights in Halifax and Cardiff in mid-August before a London show at Gunnersbury Park and a Toronto date.

September puts Jimmy Eat World on a bill with My Chemical Romance in Phoenix, before the band heads to Austin and Dallas on its own. The run closes out in November with Nashville and Tampa dates ahead of the Orlando Warped Tour finale, running November 12 through 15.

Additional dates were tacked onto the run in April, expanding a tour that started as a fairly conventional victory lap into one of the year’s longer emo-adjacent schedules, according to Consequence’s coverage of the expansion.

The Phoenix date lines Jimmy Eat World up alongside another band deep in its own anniversary cycle this year, since My Chemical Romance is simultaneously touring The Black Parade’s 20th anniversary. Both bands broke through around the same commercial window in the mid-2000s, and both are spending 2026 proving the material still fills rooms a quarter-century later rather than just packaging it as a nostalgia victory lap.

For a band whose commercial peak is a quarter-century behind it, the schedule is notably unsentimental about pacing: full arena and amphitheater dates, a festival slot, sold-out overseas shows, and a fall run that closes out one of the tour circuit’s own long-running nostalgia franchises. Bleed American made Jimmy Eat World’s name in 2001; 25 years on, the band is still the one selling out the room.

Key Points:

• Jimmy Eat World’s Bleed American 25th anniversary tour was announced in the band’s own official statement in February 2026.
• Drummer Zach Lind and singer Jim Adkins both framed the run as a thank-you to longtime fans built around an upgraded live show.
• The route runs from June through November, including Red Rocks, a Warped Tour stop in Long Beach, UK dates, and a shared bill with My Chemical Romance in Phoenix.
• New dates were added in April 2026, extending the tour further.
