Morrison, CO  – Wednesday, June 10, 2026: Arizona rock icons Jimmy Eat World kicked off their Bleed American 25th Anniversary World Tour on June 9th with a sold-out performance at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado.

Headliners at the renowned venue are known to push the envelope, and that's exactly what the band did with a new production that showcased multiple eye-catching looks while they led fans on a musical journey playing Bleed American in full and beyond in a show arc that had never been performed before. 

From the opening notes of Bleed American’s driving high-energy title track, they had fans singing along to every word. From there, Jimmy Eat World continued to play their career-defining album in order: “A Praise Chorus,” “The Middle,” an acoustic rendition of “Your House,” and “Sweetness” leading into the next half of the record with “Hear You Me” where fans illuminated the night sky with their phone lights and held each other close. The second act concluded with “If You Don’t, Don’t,” “Get It Faster,” “Cautioners,” “The Authority Song,” and “My Sundown.” 

The crowd continued to buzz as the band transitioned into a mix of fan favorites and rarities from across their sprawling catalogue, a performance that reflected Jimmy Eat World’s ability to connect with audiences old and new while perfectly complementing the natural beauty and atmosphere of a venue like Red Rocks. 

Red Rocks was promoted by AEG Presents Rocky Mountains.

The opening run of anniversary shows continue with a string of sold-out performances at Brooklyn Paramount, New York’s Pier 17, Skyline Stage in Philadelphia and MGM Music Hall in Boston. 

Promoted by Live Nation, the Bleed American 25th Anniversary Tour spans headline performances and festivals alike - including their triumphant return to the Vans Warped Tour stage in all five cities (after a 25-year absence) and a trio of previously announced U.K. shows, with sold-out dates on Aug. 14 at The Piece Hall in Halifax and Aug. 15 at Cardiff Castle in Wales, followed by Aug. 16 at London’s Crystal Palace Bowl.

Along the tour, Jimmy Eat World will be joined by very special guests on select dates: Rise Against, Hot Mulligan, Sunny Day Real Estate, Thrice, Texas Is the Reason, Motion City Soundtrack, Mom Jeans, Minus the Bear, The Get Up Kids, PUP, The Wonder Years, Sparta, Ratboys, Hey Mercedes, Girls Against Boys, Illuminati Hotties, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, and Jay Som.

ABOUT JIMMY EAT WORLD:

Jimmy Eat World — one of the most successful and enduring alternative-rock bands of their generation — celebrate a landmark moment in 2026: the 25th anniversary of their seminal album Bleed American. The record not only launched the Mesa, Arizona, quartet into global recognition but helped define the sound of 2000s alternative rock and the wave of emotionally driven, melodic guitar music that followed.

Originally released July 24, 2001, via DreamWorks Records, Bleed American showcased the band at a creative peak. The record produced a run of enduring hits: the explosive title track “Bleed American,” the “sing it back” stadium-bright “Sweetness,” the celebratory fan favorite “A Praise Chorus,” and the crossover smash “The Middle.” That last one hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart, reached No. 5 on the Hot 100 during a 33-week run, earned RIAA platinum status, and in 2024 joined Spotify’s Billions Club — which may have received a slight bump after Taylor Swift lip-synced the song in a commercial for Apple Music. In 2025, “The Middle” was named one of Rolling Stone’s 250 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century So Far.

As Bleed American turns 25, its legacy can be felt in a new generation of artists—from pop-rock and mainstream alternative acts to the 2010s emo-revival scene. Bands such as Paramore, The Wonder Years, The Maine, Hot Mulligan, and countless others have cited Jimmy Eat World’s melodic clarity, emotional honesty, and guitar-driven precision as foundational to their own work. Its reach also extends to major pop and indie artists who have referenced the album’s songwriting approach and sonic balance as a blueprint for mixing intimacy with widescreen hooks.

Beyond the studio, Jimmy Eat World have become mainstays at major festivals around the world, including When We Were Young, Lollapalooza, Coachella, Reading, Leeds, Southside, and Hurricane, and have appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and Saturday Night Live. Their contributions to Arizona’s music legacy were recognized in 2024 as October 17 was declared Jimmy Eat World Day in Phoenix, AZ.

The band’s most recent release, the six-song Something(s) Loud EP (2025), continued their run of heartfelt, meticulously crafted songwriting — further proof that even as they celebrate Bleed American’s 25-year legacy, Jimmy Eat World are still evolving, still resonating, and still very much in the present.
