Everclear is celebrating a big milestone this year: the 30th anniversary of their breakout 1995 album. To celebrate, the band is headed out on a massive tour, and they’re bringing along fellow ’90s alt-rock stalwarts Local H and Sponge.
Sparkle and Fade, Everclear’s platinum-selling, major-label debut album, had a massive impact in 1995 with its chart-topping hit “Santa Monica,” making Everclear a household name and catapulting the band into the masses.
Everclear’s 40-date fall headlining tour will kick off Sept. 4 in Los Angeles and travel across the U.S. stopping in such cities as San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Denver, Oklahoma City, Austin, Louisville, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Charlotte, Boston, New York (Oct. 22 at Irving Plaza), Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Minneapolis, among many others, before wrapping Nov. 2 in Chicago.
Everclear Just Announced ‘Sparkle and Fade’ 30th Anniversary Tour
Speaking about the album Everclear founder/frontman Art Alexakis said: “Sparkle and Fade was not the first album I had made, but it was the album I had wanted to make my whole life. It changed everything for me and Everclear. Because of its success and lasting impact, this band has survived and prospered for three decades, and this tour celebrating Sparkle and Fade is another way of us saying ‘thank you’ to all of the incredible fans – old and new.”
Going on to address the tour, Alexaki added: “We’re excited to travel the U.S. this fall with our fellow ‘90s brethren Local H and Sponge. In addition to all the hits and fan favorites, we’re going to pretty much play the whole album through the course of the show to commemorate this 30th anniversary. If you are a fan of this record, you do not want to miss this tour!”
