Jimmy Eat World Playing 'Bleed American' In Full At Philly Show This June

PHILADELPHIA — Rock icons Jimmy Eat World are heading out on a tour that will celebrate their seminal album, "Bleed American," and they're coming to Philadelphia.

The "The Middle" and "Sweetness" rockers will perform at Highmark Skyline Stage at Mann in Philadelphia on June 19. They will be joined by post hardcore rockers Thrice and emo pop punkers Hey Mercedes at the philly show.

Fans will hear the entirety of 2001's hit album "Bleed American" on the tour, as well as songs from the band's 30-plus-year career.

Tickets are available starting with an artist, CITI, and American Express presale beginning Wednesday. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale, which starts at 10 a.m. Friday.

"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," lead vocalist and guitarist Jim Adkins said. "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."

Originally released July 24, 2001, via DreamWorks Records, "Bleed American" stands as a landmark album that helped push alternative rock into the mainstream, cementing Jimmy Eat World as pioneering artists of the 2000s music scene. The album has been certified platinum in the U.S. and gold in the U.K., with the essential single “The Middle” recently joining the Spotify Billion Streams Club. The record was not only a commercial breakthrough, but also a creative touchstone for a new wave of bands, with artists including Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, and The Wonder Years citing the album as a major influence.

"When we printed the last mix of Bleed American, we felt like we had achieved something great for ourselves," Adkins said. "There was no barometer of how it would connect with people outside of the studio, and we are still in awe with the life the record and songs have had since their original release. Bleed American is as much yours as it is ours, so we want to celebrate it with you all in a very special way."
