Candlebox Announce 45-Date 2021 U.S. Tour, Reuniting Classic Lineup at Two Shows
Alt-grunge rockers Candlebox will release Wolves, their seventh album, in September and have just booked an exhaustive 45-date headlining U.S. tour, which will begin in early August and conclude with two shows featuring the band’s original lineup.
The new record has been preceded by two singles — “My Weakness” and “Let Me Down Easy” — and will be the first from Candlebox since they released Disappearing From Airports in 2016. “We didn’t stray away from anything; if the song sounded Americana, we went there; if a song sounded progressive, we went progressive- we didn’t try to stay in our lane, if you will,” said singer Kevin Martin about the forthcoming release.
With a chance to get back out on the road in the wake of the pandemic which shuttered live music last year, Candlebox are not wasting the opportunity, criss-crossing the country, starting on Aug. 5 in Louisville, Kentucky. A week’s worth of dates will do it for August before a continuous set of stops keeps Candlebox on tour from Sept. 3 through Oct. 24. After that, they will reunite their original lineup for a pair of Seattle gigs in early November.
See the complete list of tour dates below and look for tickets to go on sale at 10AM PT on Friday (June 25). Visit the Candlebox website for more info.
