Sad Summer Fest Presented by Journeys and Converse has officially opened ticket sales for the festival’s return in 2023. Embarking on its fourth trek across the country, the tour will make sixteen stops, and hopefully, you’ll find one in a city near you!

Over the last few years, with a brief hiatus for the COVID-19 pandemic, Sad Summer Fest has been the go-to music tour for the emo music scene.

“With the resurgence of the emo music scene, fans have come to rely on the Sad Summer Fest lineup to provide their seasonal dose of live music from their favorite artists,” said the Sad Summer Fest Team.

“We believe the bill this year will take the tour and experience to a new level. Thanks to all our loyal fans who have helped grow this brand with us; we see you,” they said.

This summer’s lineup, headlined by Taking Back Sunday, features sets from some of the tour’s returning veterans as well as debut artists who you’re sure to start streaming immediately.

“We’re very excited to get back on the road,” says John Nolan of Taking Back Sunday.

“It’s going to be great spending the summer playing shows with old friends and making new ones. Most of all, we can’t wait to start playing these new songs for everyone,” Nolan said.
