2000s youth group kids, your moment has come.
Switchfoot has announced a new tour in support of its upcoming album, Forever Now, with special guest Anberlin this fall.
The tour kicks off Sept. 5 in Quitman, Texas, ahead of Forever Now, Switchfoot’s first full-length album of new music in five years. The project arrives June 26 and follows the band’s recent re-release of its 2003 breakthrough The Beautiful Letdown.
Switchfoot first announced Forever Now at SXSW, where the band previewed the new song “Wake Up, Mr. Crow.” Frontman Jon Foreman told RELEVANT the album is built around a question: “If you knew today was your last, how would you live it? What would you do?”
Foreman said the record wrestles with the tension between mortality and presence — which, yes, is very Switchfoot, and yes, we’re fine with that.
“We’re never promised a tomorrow,” he said. “We’re only promised today.”
Foreman said the band wanted to make a record only Switchfoot could make, calling it “the kind of record that the 14-year-old version of us would flip out about.”
Now, your 14-year-old self can flip out in venues later this year.
