It hard to believe that it’s been ten years ago since Hawthorne Heights released their sophomore album, If Only You Were Only. For those who grew up during the heyday of the “emo scene,” it was one of the records that was constantly on a loop giving us songs like “Saying Sorry,” “This is Who We Are,” and “Pens and Needles.” Since the record’s release in 2006, the band’s popularity has tapered off, but the group never cared and kept on producing new music.
Last week, the Ohio-founded band announced plans to hit the road in the fall to celebrate the album’s ten-year anniversary. On Wednesday (Aug. 24), the band further confirmed that the upcoming tour will find the band performing the album in full during the 21-day tour. As previously announced, “If Only You Were Lonely Ten-Year Anniversary Tour” is set to begin on Oct. 7 at the Rumba Cafe in Columbus, OH and wrap up less than a month later on Oct. 29 at Big Shots in Valparaiso, IN.
Tickets for the upcoming tour are currently available on the band’s website. For those who are still dedicated Hawthorne Heights fans, the group is offering VIP upgrades for most shows. For more information about the VIP packages, tour dates, and other Hawthorne Heights-centric things, head on over to the band’s website here while the complete list of stop can be seen below.
