As Jimmy Eat World announce UK tour dates, where are they performing and are they working on a new album?

Jimmy Eat World is marking the 25th anniversary of their breakthrough album Bleed American with three UK shows next summer, and will be the first time fans in England and Wales get to hear the album played front to back.

The band says the run will feature deep cuts, fan favorites, and a bigger stage production than anything they have brought over before.

The outdoor dates land in August. The tour opens at The Piece Hall in Halifax on August 14, moves to Cardiff Castle on August 15, and concludes at Gunnersbury Park in London on August 16 - with the latter being the band’s largest UK headline performance to date.

Rise Against and The Get Up Kids will join them across the run, with Jay Som appearing in Cardiff and London.

Bleed American went mainstream during the early 2000s and remains a defining record for the band. Its biggest single, The Middle, has more than one billion Spotify streams.

Lead singer Jimmy Adkins said: “When we printed the last mix of Bleed American, we felt like we had achieved something great for ourselves.

“There was no barometer of how it would connect with people outside of the studio and we are still in awe with the life the record and songs have had since their original release. Bleed American is as much yours as it is ours, so we want to celebrate it with you all in a very special way.”

The news comes after the release of the band’s Something(s) Loud EP on November 14. The EP brings several previously digital-only tracks to vinyl for the first time, including Something Loud, Place Your Debts, and a cover of Crooked Fingers’ Call to Love.

It also includes an acoustic version of Something Loud, a TW Walsh remix of Place Your Debts, and the unreleased track Failure, originally recorded in 2019 during the Surviving sessions.

The band has already confirmed that a new album is in the works ahead of its 2026 tour.
