Everclear Announces ‘Sparkle And Fade’ 30th Anniversary Tour

Everclear is getting ready to hit the road to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its platinum-selling, major-label debut album, Sparkle and Fade. The band is bringing along special guests Local H and Sponge.

The Rolling Stone Album Guide described the LP as “everything a radio-ready rock record should be: explosive, soul-searching, belligerent.” Sparkle and Fade includes the hit “Santa Monica,” along with the singles “Heroin Girl” and “Heartspark Dollarsign.”

Here’s frontman Art Alexakis’ take: “Sparkle and Fade was not the first album I had made, but it was the album I had wanted to make my whole life. It changed everything for me and Everclear. Because of its success and lasting impact, this band has survived and prospered for three decades, and this tour celebrating Sparkle and Fade is another way of us saying ‘thank you’ to all of the incredible fans – old and new.”

He added, “We’re excited to travel the U.S. this fall with our fellow ‘90s brethren Local H and Sponge. In addition to all the hits and fan favorites, we’re going to pretty much play the whole album through the course of the show to commemorate this 30th anniversary. If you are a fan of this record, you do not want to miss this tour!”

Following previously announced dates scheduled March through July, the Sparkle and Fade 30th Anniversary Tour starts Sept. 4 at Los Angeles’ Regent Theater. Stops include San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Denver, Oklahoma City, Austin, Louisville, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Charlotte, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Minneapolis and Washington, D.C. The last show is Nov. 2 at Chicago’s Thalia Hall.

Various presales are ongoing now. The general onsale begins Friday, March 14th at 10 a.m. local time. VIP and meet & greet packages are also available. Visit www.everclearmusic.com/tour for more information and to purchase tickets.
