25 Years of “Bleed American”
February 10th, 2026 by Traci Turner
Jimmy Eat World will honor the 25th anniversary of their iconic album “Bleed America” with a North American tour.
The 2001 album cemented to band in our musical history thanks to the title track, “A Praise Chorus,” “Sweetness,” and the monster hit, “The Middle.”
You could not escape those songs if a radio was nearby – although why would you?
Frontman and guitarist Jim Adkins discussed the celebratory tour, “I feel like at this time in our lives, especially for me, it’s important to get back to a place that you can savor.” He went on, “This tour is designed to be an elevated version of our show, a heightened experience with production that reflects 25 years of learning how to stretch artistically in the live environment.”
Adkins is joined by additional founding members Tom Linton on guitar and Zach Lind on drums. Longtime member – who might as well have been a founder – Rick Burch remains on bass.
The guys will have a rotating crew of acts lending support, including Rise Against, Hot Mulligan, Sunny Day Real Estate, Thrice, Motion City Soundtrack, Mom Jeans, Minus the Bear, Thursday, The Get Up Kids, PUP, Sparta, Hey Mercedes, Girls Against Boys, Illuminati Hotties, Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers, and Jay Som.
The trek kicks off in Denver at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre on June 9th, travels along the Midwest and East Coast, then closes out November 14th in Tampa.
Jimmy Eat World is also part of the Vans Warped Tour’s 30-ish days of Warped, and will perform at all five dates of the festival including July 25th-26th in Long Beach.
