Say Anything fans! Are you ready for potentially the greatest two nights of your life? Well, we hope you are as Max Bemis and company have just announced the In Defense Anniversary Tour where not only will the band be playing 2007′s In Defense of the Genre in full but also 2009′s self-titled album and 2004′s fan-favorite Is A Real Boy… across the span of two nights.
As you would expect, Bemis is very much looking forward to these shows saying, “Well, this should be the most epic series of shows we’ve ever put on in terms of the ‘legacy’ of our early work. I predict all-out catharsis in these intimate settings and an awesome experience losing myself in the narrative of each of these albums played in their entirety.”
Tickets for the highly anticipated 18-city event go on sale this Friday and can be found here. To check out tour dates and locations, be sure to look below.
