The Used have announced their nationwide 25th Anniversary Tour creating an unforgettable experience for fans with 3 nights in each city, featuring a full album play through of the music they created that shaped the sound of early 2000s alternative rock. The celebration will highlight their first three albums performed in full: their self-titled record The Used (2002), In Love And Death (2004) and Lies For The Liars (2007). 

As the band reaches a quarter-century milestone, these records are largely regarded as highly influential and it is no wonder each of them have been certified either platinum or gold by the RIAA and selling over 10 million albums combined worldwide.

The tour will be kicking off on April 3 in Detroit, MI, making stops throughout the United States in cities like Boston, Chicago, New York, NJ, Salt Lake City, Denver and Los Angeles before wrapping up on May 17 in San Diego. Locally, they will have shows at Starland Ballrooom in Sayreville from April 15-18 and Irving Plaza in New York from April 19-22.

Ticket pre-sale details are as follows: Artist/LN/Ticketmaster Presale: Wednesday, 12/11 at 10:00am Local; Spotify/Local Presale: Thursday, 12/12 at 10:00am Local; General On Sale: Friday, 12/13 at 10:00am Local

The Used will also be offering VIP packages on the tour. Packages include one general addmision ticket, band meet and greet, photo opp, signed 12” Record Flat of “Album of the Night,” exclusive “Album of the Night” enamel pin, limited edition disposal camera, tote bag, metal laminate with lanyard with early access to the venue and merch.

Lead singer Bert McCracken aka robbietheused is “Overwhelmed! These first three records are what put The Used on the map. I can’t wait to experience the joy in playing all three records from front to back. I know it will be an amazing time. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Sending love to you all and I hope to see you there!”

The band is eternally grateful for the love and support of their fans throughout the years.

Bassist Jepha shares, “We feel extremely lucky and humbled to have been a part of something way bigger than ourselves for the past 25 years. To everyone that has been there from the beginning or is just starting out your adventure with us thank you. Here’s to the next 25!”

Drummer Dan Whitesides adds: “We can’t wait to play all of these songs from the first three albums, they mean so much to us as we know they do to so many people.”
