Earthside will be in the UK as part of a European tour this spring!
Drummer Ben Shanbrom said: “It’s been far too long since Earthside has toured one of our favorite places in the world and our true home-away-from-home—Europe. What was initially our plan for ushering in the new Let The Truth Speak era, unfortunately hit repeated roadblocks due to several difficult circumstances well beyond our control. But by hell or high water, we would not close the second chapter of Earthside’s career without a proper European run, and now we are thrilled to finally meet many of you and reunite with our countless friends on the continent.”

We’re excited to announce we’ll be heading back out to the UK/EU to headline with support from “Ocean Sleeper” – as well as playing festivals we only dreamed of playing as kids.

They will be joined by Touché Amore.
“It feels like you blink and all of a sudden your album is almost old enough to drink in the United States,” jokes Alexisonfire frontman George Pettit. “So many incredible memories of making this record. It felt like we were really coming into our own as a band. We discovered another level of potential that we didn’t have at the start. I’m happy we get to relive it this summer with all of you.”
