Matchbox Twenty will embark on a massive North American tour this summer with the fittingly loquacious name, Matchbox Twenty 2020.
The trek comprises more than 50 shows, and it kicks off July 17th at the Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and wraps September 28th at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The Wallflowers will serve as support throughout the run.
Tickets are set to go on sale January 17th at 12 p.m. ET via Live Nation. Matchbox Twenty fan club members will have access to pre-sale tickets starting January 14th at 10 a.m. ET, while Citi cardholders will be able to purchase tickets between January 15th at 10 a.m. local time through January 16th at 10 p.m. local time. Complete information is available on Matchbox Twenty’s website.
Matchbox Twenty’s 2020 tour marks their first since 2017, when they reunited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Yourself or Someone Like You. While Matchbox Twenty hasn’t released an album since 2012’s North, last year frontman Rob Thomas dropped his fourth solo album, Chip Tooth Smile.
“I’m proud to be a part of the greatest pop rock band in the world and I can’t wait to play with them again,” Thomas said in a statement. “Stepping on stage with Matchbox and sharing those songs with the fans feels as natural as breathing to me at this point.”
