Everclear announce 'So Much for the Afterglow' 20th anniversary tour with Fastball

’90s nostalgia knows no bounds. Everclear already did a 20th anniversary tour for Sparkle & Fade in 2015 and now they’re doing one this spring/summer for that album’s much more popular followup, So Much For the Afterglow. Making things even more ’90s, Fastball and Vertical Horizon are opening.

The tour hits NYC on June 6 at Irving Plaza. Tickets go on sale Friday (2/24) at 10 AM with various presales beforehand. $1 from every ticket sold for this tour goes to the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. All dates are listed below.

As far as late ’90s mallternative rock goes, So Much for the Afterglow holds up better than most of that stuff. And if you judge it based on its overplayed singles, check out the deep cuts — they’re even better than the songs that dominated the radio 20 years ago (“Amphetamine” and “White Men in Black Suits” are great). Fastball’s inclusion on this tour is kinda perfect ’cause you probably heard “The Way” in all the same radio rotations you heard “I Will Buy You A New Life.” (They’re also weirdly relevant right now because the #5 song in the country samples “Out of My Head.”) As for Vertical Horizon… I could probably go for never hearing them again.
