Dashboard Confessional's 25th Anniversary Tour launches March 12, 2027, with 15 dates across North America

Dashboard Confessional's 25th Anniversary Tour begins March 12, 2027, at The Salt Shed in Chicago and concludes April 3, 2027, at The Masonic in San Francisco. The 15-date tour celebrates the 25th anniversary of the band's key MTV Unplugged performance, which was recorded on April 24, 2002, and supports the MTV Unplugged 2.0 album released later that year. Many dates have already sold out or are very close to selling out, making third-party platforms essential for fans seeking access.

Tour Context and Anniversary

The 2027 tour is a direct celebration of a defining moment in the band's history. Dashboard Confessional performed on MTV’s Unplugged series on April 24, 2002. Frontman Chris Carrabba has stated that the Unplugged performance was a key and unifying moment for the band and their fans. The subsequent live album, MTV Unplugged 2.0, was released in December 2002 and serves as the foundation for this anniversary tour.

The tour includes 15 indoor venues across the United States and Canada. Stops include major cities such as Los Angeles, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Nashville, and Minneapolis, with shows at notable venues like The Fillmore in Minneapolis. For fan club members, the Saints & Sailors Fan Club presale begins on November 12 at 9 a.m. local time. An artist presale follows on the same day at 10 a.m. local time. The tour concludes at The Masonic in San Francisco in early April 2027.
