(HOLMDEL, NJ) -- Third Eye Blind brought the fourth edition of the Summer Gods Tour to the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel on July 14, 2024 and photographer Julie Hoffman was on hand to take photos. The tour includes special guests Yellowcard and A R I Z O N A. (click on the band name to jump to their photos)

Third Eye Blind is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their breakthrough album, Jumper. Released in 1997, the album has sold over 6 million copies in America and included the singles "Semi-Charmed Life", "Graduate", "How's It Going to Be", "Losing a Whole Year", and the title track.

To commemorate the anniversary, the band released the world’s first playable .999 silver-coated and .997 karat gold-coated records, in collaboration with Precious Sound.  Manufactured in Germany, each 5”, 7 ounce record is playable at 33 ⅓ RPMs on any manual record player, and pressed with 1,250 tons, using groundbreaking technology.  The B-side is an engraving celebrating the cover art of the self-titled album.

“Third Eye Blind was the soundtrack to so many summer adventures during high school!” said Nate Esquite (A R I Z O N A). “My friends and I would drive up and down the NJ Parkway blasting “Semi-Charmed Life” out the windows and dreaming about one day playing PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel as we passed. To be a part of this tour is a dream come true in so many ways – being able to sing our hearts out to 3EB every night and playing so many incredible venues along the way.”

Here are photos of A R I Z O N A.

“Third Eye Blind self-titled is a masterclass in songwriting that blew all of our minds when it released in 1997,” says Ryan Key of Yellowcard.  “As 90s kids we were gifted with so much incredible music in our formative years and we are all such massive fans of the band because of that record. It doesn’t feel real yet that we will be sharing the stage with one of our all time favorite bands every night this summer.”

Since 1997, San Francisco's Third Eye Blind has recorded five best-selling albums and assembled one career retrospective. Some of their biggest hits include "Semi-Charmed Life", "Jumper", and "Never Let You Go".  Led by Stephan Jenkins, Third Eye Blind's last studio album was 2021's Our Bande Apart and their last release was Unplugged in 2022.

“25 years in, ‘Jumper’ makes a message of the value of a common heart. I’m happy that this is the first message immortalized on precious metals,” says Stephan Jenkins of Third Eye Blind. “The song has gone from dark to light. It started as a noir—where I am talking to somebody telling what I would have said to them had they not jumped off the Coronado bridge. Pretty dark stuff. Now when I sing it, it is a celebration of understanding and inclusivity and you can see how eager people are to express that feeling. I love it. I love the transition.”
