Circa Survive plot ‘Blue Sky Noise’ ten-year anniversary tour for 2020

It’s time to put Blue Sky Noise back on repeat because Circa Survive is hitting the road to celebrate its decade anniversary.

On Monday (Oct. 21), the Pennsylvania-founded band announced plans to embark on a ten-year anniversary tour during the spring and early summer months. Dubbed the Blue Sky Noise 10 Year Anniversary tour, the excursion will find the group performing at venues across the continent during March, April, May, and June 2020.

The lengthy excursion includes stops in Atlanta, Orlando, Nashville, Cleveland, Toronto, Montreal, Las Vegas, Dallas, St. Louis, and more. The outing kicks off on March 20 at Rams Head Live in Baltimore and concludes almost three months later on June 7 at Union Transfer in Philadelphia.

“We’re so excited to announce the Blue Sky Noise 10 Year Anniversary Tour! We can’t wait to celebrate this album with you next year,” the group tweeted.

VIP bundles are currently available for purchase here. Most VIP bundles include a general admission ticket to the show, a patch, a signed setlist, a three-song acoustic performance, a Q&A session with the band, and an exclusive first look at their Blue Sky Noise documentary.

General ticket sales begin this Friday, Oct. 25, at 10 a.m. local time.

Blue Sky Noise was Circa Survive’s Atlantic Records debut. It’s also the group’s highest-charting album to date, reaching the number 11 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.

The Used, Thrice, Circa Survive to headline inaugural Disrupt Festival

This year may mark the first year that punk, pop-punk, and emo kids may not have the Vans Warped Tour, but it looks like a new music festival is ready to take over the summertime void. On Monday (March 25), the first annual Disrupt Festival was announced. Boasting acts like The Used, Circa Survive, Sum 41, and Thrice as headliners, the cross-country trek will take over North America during June and July.

Joining The Used, Circa Survive, Sum 41, and Thrice on the inaugural lineup are: The Story So Far, Atreyu, Sleeping with Sirens, Andy Black, Four Year Strong, Memphis May Fire, Trophy Eyes, Meg & Dia, Juliet Simms, and Hyro the Hero.

The 25-stop jaunt will include stops in major markets such as Austin, West Palm, Beach, Tampa, Atlanta, Charlotte, Toronto, Denver, Boise, and Phoenix. Disrupt Festival begins its journey across the continent on June 21 at the Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas and concludes on July 28 at the Isleta Amphitheater in Albuquerque.

Tickets for the upcoming event go on sale this Friday, March 29, at 10 a.m. local time. Citi cardmembers will have access to pre-sale tickets beginning this Tuesday, March 26, at noon. Pre-sales end on Thursday, March 28, at 10 p.m. local time.

Circa Survive announces ‘On Letting Go’ tenth anniversary tour

A little over a year after hitting the road in support of the tenth anniversary of Juturna, Circa Survive will be hitting the road for another ten-year anniversary. On Tuesday (Oct. 11), the Philadelphia-founded band announced that they will be hitting the road in 2017 to celebrate the tenth year anniversary of their sophomore album, On Letting Go.

“So many moments on that record personified what Circa Survive was starting to become.,” writes frontman Anthony Green on Facebook. “I’m really excited to revisit that with all of the knowledge we’ve been able to pick up since. It was a wild time in my life and it’s kind of an escape for me now to go back to that and celebrate it!”

Turnover and mewithoutYou will hit the road with Circa for the anniversary tour. VIP tickets are currently available while general admission will go on sale on Friday, Oct. 14 at 10 a.m. local time.

On Letting Go was released on May 29, 2007 through Equal Vision Records and earned the number 24 spot on Billboard’s Top 200 chart, quite a feat for a band with only one record under their belt. Circa Survive has been a little on the quiet side since the release of their recent record, 2014’s Descensus.

Green, on the other hand, hasn’t. The singer reunited with Saosin earlier this year for the release of their new album, Along the Shadow and just recently wrapped up his solo tour behind his recently released solo record, Pixie Queen.

Circa Survive Announce ‘Juturna’ Tenth Anniversary Tour

After cryptically teasing that something big was coming in honor of the tenth anniversary of Juturna, Circa Survive have now confirmed what all fans have been hoping for.

As anticipated, the band or more specifically frontman Anthony Green, has revealed that they will be heading out on tour this Fall in honor of the tenth anniversary of their much-loved, debut record.

Green wrote on Facebook:

“This fall we’ll be touring North America celebrating the 10 year anniversary of ‘Juturna’ by performing the record in its entirety. It’s hard to believe this album is ten years old because it still means so much to me. It’s the first chapter in the story of Circa Survive and I owe so much to it. Playing these songs is like reading a message I wrote to myself from the past and I can’t wait celebrate them with new and old fans. – Anthony”

The tour will kick off on Oct. 23 at the Best Buy Theater in New York and wrap up a month later at the Starland Ballroom in Sayerville, NJ. Heading out on the road with them will be RX Bandits and reportedly one other band that has yet to be revealed. At the present time, that slot is filled by “TBA.”

In addition to the tour celebrating the tenth anniversary of the album that gave us “Act Appalled,” Circa has also revealed that they  will be releasing a special limited edition 3xLP deluxe vinyl reissue of Juturna. The catch is the number of vinyls that will be pressed for the occasion; 2,500. At the moment, the band have pre-orders going on, so if you want one, it might be time to be heading over there to purchase one.

The deluxe vinyl reissue will contain 34 tracks, three different looking records, and will be housed in a triple gate fold jacket with expanded art. For more information, check out the band’s website.

Listen to Circa Survive Cover Nirvana

Nirvana made an impact on the music world and no one would deny that, especially the people behind Robotic Empire.

The label previously put out a vinyl of Nirvana covers titled In Utero: In Tribute which according to them sold out when it was released on Record Store Day last year. This Record Store Day, the label will once again be doing the same thing.

This year’s Nirvana compilation will be titled Whatever, Nevermind and will feature bands such as La Dispute, Torche, Touche Amore, and the band whose contribution can be qualified as the first single off the album, Circa Survive.

Circa got the task of covering Nirvana’s “Drain You,” which can be heard below.

In an interview with Alternative Press, Circa guitarist Brendan Ekstrom said the following about getting the chance to cover the iconic band.

“There are different ways to approach covering a band. For us, doing a Nirvana song takes us back to a very raw place that we were in when we were young and just falling in love with music. We didn’t want to say ‘here’s what this song would’ve sounded like if Circa wrote it.’ It was way more fun for us to live in their energy and pay homage to their influence by just rocking the shit out of it and keeping it raw.”

Whatever, Nevermind will be available on April 18 (Record Store Day) while pre-orders of the record are currently available on the label’s website.

Check out the full tracklist below.

WHATEVER NEVERMIND COMPILATION TRACKLIST:

01. Young Widows – Smells Like Teen Spirit
02. Torche – In Bloom
03. Kylesa – Come As You Are
04. Cave In – Breed
05. Boris – Lithium
06. La Dispute – Polly
07. White Reaper – Territorial Pissings
08. Circa Survive – Drain You
09. Touche Amore – Lounge Act
10. Wrong – Stay Away
11. Pygmy Lush – On A Plain
12. Nothing – Something In The Way
13. Thou – Endless, Nameless / Even In His Youth (Bonus Tracks)

Circa Survive Announce New 2015 Tour

It was only a month ago that Circa Survive were finishing up their last tour of the year with Pianos Become the Teeth and Title Fight.

Now the band have announced they will once again be hitting the road, proving that they might be one of the hardest working bands out there.

Taking to Facebook, the Philadelphia band announced their new tour which will feature special guests, Balance and Composure and CHON.

The tour will begin on March 16 in Raleigh NC at the Lincoln Theater and wrap up almost two months later on May 3 in Stroudsburg, PA at the Sherman Theater.

VIP tickets for the shows are currently on sale.

This tour, much like the others, is in support of the band’s recently released album, Descensus which was released last November through Sumerian Records.

Last week, the band gifted fans with the cool live footage music video for their latest single, “Child of the Desert.”

Circa Survive Drop Live Footage Video for “Child of the Desert”

Circa Survive are giving their fans a little something to start their weekend off on the right foot; a new music video.

The band have released the music video for a song titled, “Child of the Desert” featured on their recently released album, Descensus.

The video features what looks like slowed down live footage of the band performing the song. With the lighting and the close ups of the band members, it almost makes you feel like you’re actually in a darkly lit club, watching Circa Survive perform this track live.

Don’t believe us? Watch the video below.

Circa Survive released Descensus, their fifth studio record on Nov. 24, 2014 through new record label, Sumerian Records. Circa were also confirmed as one of Coachella’s many performers for this year’s annual event, playing the stage on both Sundays of the festival; April 12 and April 19.
