This is a celebratory year for acclaimed, Mesa-native alternative rock band Jimmy Eat World.
The rockers are gearing up for the 20th anniversary of their gold-certified fifth studio album “Futures” and the fifth anniversary of their 10th studio album, “Surviving.”
Jimmy Eat World’s only hometown show of 2024 will see the band performing “Futures” in its entirety on Thursday, Oct. 17 at The Van Buren in downtown Phoenix. Tickets to this one-night only event will be available starting at 10 a.m. this coming Friday, Aug. 16 at LiveNation.com. Tickets to all tour dates can be found at JimmyEatWorld.com.
“It’s unbelievable to us that our album ‘Futures’ is almost 20 years old. Making ‘Futures’ was one of the most difficult yet rewarding accomplishments in our time as a band. We are honored that many you have found something in those songs that you’ve connected with over the years,” the band stated in a press release. “As a way to show our appreciation, we want to play this album front to back for our hometown fans at The Van Buren in Phoenix.”
The Arizona quartet has made “Futures: Phoenix Sessions (Chapter V)” and “Surviving: Phoenix Sessions (Chapter X)” available on vinyl for the first time. The albums were self-produced by Jimmy Eat World and mixed by Jim Adkins with both being made available this fall via the band’s Exotic Location Recordings imprint.
Both limited-edition releases were recorded live as part of their 2021 “Phoenix Sessions,” a partnership with Danny Wimmer Presents on a global streaming performance series filmed at the Icehouse in Phoenix.
