Following Chiodos’ triumphant return at When We Were Young Fest in Las Vegas, NV, this past weekend, a documentary meant to come out over a decade ago has leaked online. The documentary covers Craig Owens and past members’ childhoods, how the band formed, and the rise of the band in the early-mid 2000s.
The opening moments of the documentary state. “We all understand that Craig is a huge piece of Chiodos and a huge part of Chiodos.” Craig remains the only original member of the band.
This weekend marked the band’s first live performance in nearly 10 years, sparking a new era for the formative post-hardcore outfit. Owens performed alongside a brand new lineup consisting of Frail Body and PAINS drummer Nicholas Clemenson, Varials vocalist Mitchell Rogers on keys/guitar, former Grayscale bassist Nicholas Ventimiglia on bass, and former Hundredth and Counterparts guitarist Blake Hardman.
On stage Owens also announced there will be a 20th anniversary tour for All’s Well That Ends Well taking place sometime in early 2025. The tour will feature support from Hawthorne Heights, Emmure, and The Callous Daoboys.
All’s Well That Ends Well continues to have an impact to this day, with songs “Baby You Wouldn’t Last A Minute On The Creek” breaking 30 million streams and “The Words Best Friend Become Redefined” breaking 20 million streams this year. The online praise for the band’s return has been overwhelmingly positive, making the upcoming tour one of 2025’s most anticipated.
In addition to the upcoming anniversary tour, the band will be performing on the Emo’s Not Dead Cruise in February. The lineup includes The Used, Boys Like Girls, Hawthorne Heights, Saosin, Hey Monday, Emery, Norma Jean, and more. The ship is currently fully booked, but you can join a waiting list here.
