he 2025 tour announcements are showing no signs of slowing down, with this morning’s latest (and stacked) lineup perhaps taking the cake! Last gracing our shores in 2017, Yellowcard has spilled that they will be making a return to Australia in 2025, hitting all the usual suspects… and even Newcastle!
This is no regular tour though, but a celebration of the band’s pivotal album, Ocean Avenue. Celebrating its 20th year, the album has been foundational to the band itself, but more so, was a pop-punk staple in the lives and stories of so many of the genre’s fans. Ocean Avenue’s stacked tracklisting sees the songs rarely evade the talks of longevity and brilliance in pop punk, and well and truly have asserted them as scene staples. This album will be played in full (yay for songs like the title track, ‘Only One‘ and ‘Breathing‘), as well as some of their other hits, of course! It is set to be a night filled with iconic moments, nostalgia, and a whirlwind of youth which these songs have fostered for 20 years, and beyond.
“It has taken us a long time to sort out bringing the 20th anniversary of Ocean Avenue to Australia, but we promise it will be worth the wait! This lineup is so good and we can’t wait to reconnect with our fans down under.” – Yellowcard
Making the event even more special is the brigade of support coming along with Yellowcard. Joining them for the duration of the tour with be Motion City Soundtrack and the Plain White T’s (ahem, the first time since Soundwave Festival in 2008!). Both bands have stellar discographies and pivotal, classic moments within the scene.
It is truly a pop-punk kid’s dream, and I am sure we will see many inner adolescents crawl their way out of the pop-punk parents in the crowd. Clear your schedule for April, because you do NOT want to miss this one!
