“We made the decision shortly after the release of The Greatest Generation that we would dedicate the end of 2013 and the majority of 2014 to playing songs from the record anywhere in the world that would have us,” Dan “Soupy” Campbell said.  “We knew we wanted the U.S. run of this hopefully global trip to be special and we were lucky enough to get four of our favorite bands currently playing music to come out with us. 

“We’re planning to step our game up in every regard of this tour. The lineup is incredible from top to bottom and we’re pulling out the stops to make this an awesome night for everyone attending.  We certainly have some surprises up our sleeves and can’t wait to get down to it.  I’m counting down the days.”

Acoustic VIP tickets, including access to a pre-show acoustic set and a Q&A session with the band, are on sale now.  General onsales launch Dec. 13 at 10 a.m. local time.  Visit TheWonderYearsBand.com for more information.
