On July 12, 2024, The Gaslight Anthem released History Books (Expanded Edition), available now on their own Rich Mahogany Recordings label via Thirty Tigers. The album showcases a brand new mix of The Gaslight Anthem's acclaimed 2023 return to action.

Support throughout comes from Joyce Manor with The Dirty Nil (July 26-August 11) and Pinkshift (August 13-September 1) joining on select dates.In addition, the band will return to their home state of New Jersey to join Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Trey Anastasio Band, Norah Jones, and more at Asbury Park’s sold-out Sea.Hear.Now Festival on Sunday, September 15.
