Train will be hitting the road this summer along with Jewel and Blues Traveler. The shows kick off at Mansfield, Mass.’s Xfinity Center on June 8 with stops in Cincinnati, Nashville, Austin, Seattle, and more before wrapping up on Aug. 6 at Morrison, Colo.’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
The upcoming tour will be in support of Train’s 11th studio album, AM Gold, which will land on May 20 via Columbia Records. Written over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, AM Gold serves as Train’s first album in five years.
“Writing songs is hard,” Train frontman Pat Monahan said in a statement. “Not compared to so many things I suppose, but it’s difficult to create something that you love and then other people love as well. Writing songs for two and a half years in front of video screens instead of being in the presence of other humans has been a long, strange trip. And now here we are. It has to start with love. Love that goes into work and comes out of work. We love this song, this album, and our fans. Thank you for waiting so long for us. I think it was worth it. AM Gold! Here we go!
Last fall, Train made their way back on the road for their first trek following the pandemic. The band’s performance at Atlantic City, N.J.’s Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena on Oct. 15, 2021, grossed $293,278, while their show at Red Bank, N.J.’s Count Basie Center for the Arts grossed $264,561, according to Pollstar BoxOffice reports.
“2022 is the year of the Tiger,” Monahan said in a statement. “It has begun in a strong, beautiful, and encouraging way and it’s only the beginning. The 2022 Summer AM Gold tour will be all those things and more, as we are joined by our dear friends Jewel and Blues Traveler! What a ride! We can’t wait to see you all out there, dancing and singing along to their amazing music as well as our new album AM Gold. Is it June yet? See you then! Love and miss you all!”
