The Used and Story of the Year announce tour

The Used have announced a headlining summer tour with fellow aughts-era post-hardcore vets Story of the Year and the similarly gothy Amira Elfeky. It goes down in June and July with shows in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Montreal, Baltimore, Asbury Park, and more. Tickets go on sale Friday (March 22) at 10 a.m. local with artist presales starting Wednesday (March 20) at 10 a.m. local. All dates below.

“Stoked to be touring with some of our oldest friends in the industry,” says the Used vocalist Bert McCracken. “We’ve always been huge fans of Big Blue Monkey! Can’t wait to see Amira Elfeky live as well!!!”

“The Used have been big brothers to Story Of The Year for over 20 years,” adds Story Of The Year vocalist Dan Marsala. “They were the one of first bands to take us on tour after we finished Page Avenue, and they played a big part in SOTY becoming the band we are today. I’ve always admired how the Used were the fearless leaders of our early 2000s scene, and I’m so proud of the friendship that we built so many years ago. The Used and Story Of The Year… that just sounds right!”

The Used and Story of the Year both released new albums last year, Toxic Positivity and Tear Me To Pieces, respectively. The Used are also playing their 2004 sophomore album In Love and Death in full at When We Were Young this year.

Last year, Story of the Year reflected on 20 years of their classic debut album Page Avenue in an interview with AP.
