Pierce The Veil and The Used are joining forces for a summer co-headline run dubbed “The Creative Control Tour.” The rock bands will be joined by Don Broco, Deathbyromy and girlfriends on select dates.

In February Pierce The Veil released its fifth studio album, The Jaws of Life, marking the band’s first LP since 2016’s Misadventures.
The co-bill tour launches May 23rd in Austin, Texas, with a show at HEB Center at Cedar Park. The routing includes gigs at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium, Toronto’s RBC Echo Beach New York’s The Rooftop at Pier 17, Cincinnati’s The Andrew J Brady Music Center and Phoenix’s Arizona Financial Theatre.
A CIti presale is ongoing, with additional preales running throughout the week ahead of the general onsale that begins on Friday, March 10 at 10 a.m. local time.
“We are more than excited for our first tour with Pierce the Veil. We’ve been friends for a long time and I know this will be a tour to remember. We can’t wait for you to hear some new music! We are so fucking stoked and will see you there! Love, Bert.” The Used’s vocalist Bert McCracken said in a statement.
Pierce The Veil also sent in a statement: “Every night of this tour is going to be a celebration. Our new album The Jaws Of Life is finally out and we get to share this monumental moment with our beautiful fans. We are so honored to hit the road with The Used, a band that has inspired us since the very beginning. It’s going to be unlike any other tour we’ve done and we can’t wait to see you there. Thank you for all of your support. Love, PTV.”
