OCEAN AVENUE ACOUSTIC: THE TOUR WITH SPECIAL GUEST TOY BOATS
Yellowcard will be returning to Australia this October with an impressive two set concert; kicking off with a reimagined acoustic performance of their iconic Ocean Avenue album, followed by an electric set covering hits from their extensive back catalogue!
The pop-punk rockers have re-imagined their most successful album to date, 2003’s Ocean Avenue ten years on from its original release. The band’s announcement of their album reissue, Ocean Avenue Acoustic (Available August 16, UNFD), coincides with the announcement of the tour.
Playing shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth, Yellowcard will perform their legacy album acoustically in its entirety and will finish with an electric set covering their album back catalogue including hits from Where We Stand, Paper Walls, When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes and Southern Air.
Fans can look forward to acoustic versions of all 13 songs from Ocean Avenue including favourites ‘Way Away’, ‘Only One’, ‘Believe’ and of course ‘Ocean Avenue’, with some songs taking on a completely new life.
“Ocean Avenue is a legacy that we are very proud of, so both the album and the tour are things we've put a lot of work into. Thanks for your continued love and support...” say Ryan, Sean, Longineu, Ryan and Josh.
“Singer songwriter, Ryan Key delivers a set-list full of the best without compromise, his sheer vocal strength is complemented by the obvious camaraderie of a band who have loved and lost together.” – Soundsphere Magazine
“The music screams summer, beaches, and sunny days – their live show screams liveliness and a sense of growing restlessness. This is a band that isn’t about to slow down anytime soon...” – Absolute Punk
“...the band as it exists today are tighter than ever. They’re excellent when recorded, but there’s an energy to Yellowcard that can only really be appreciated when you’re in the same room.” – Indulge Sound
Before arriving in the country, Yellowcard will play headlining shows in the US and Europe and are confirmed for the European instalment of Vans Warped Tour.
Joining Yellowcard on their Australian dates will be Byron Bay-local, hardcore-turned- acoustic artist, Toy Boats, who will serenade the crowds with his warm, emotional, hopeful and nostalgic tunes.
In celebration of their 10-year milestone Yellowcard will also launch an interactive online space moment.yellowcardrock.com where fans can share their favourite Yellowcard moments past and present through Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #YCMoment.
