If you’ve missed the musical stylings of The Academy Is…, it seems like you’re about to be in for a real treat. On July 31, the official The Academy Is… Instagram account as well as vocalist William Beckett dropped a video in the style of AOL that reads, “I WISH I COULD SEE THE ACADEMY IS…on TOUR IN 2025…”
The caption reads, “So Listen Up…” and also features the hashtag #almosthere20. Yep, believe it or not, TAI’s debut album Almost Here came out two decades ago on February 8, 2005, via Fueled By Ramen. So, if you blasted “Almost Here” and “Slow Down” in your childhood bedroom, it seems you may get to hear the album live soon.
You can sign up on The Academy Is…’s official website to stay up-to-date with possible forthcoming tour news and “digital goodies.”
For lucky Riot Fest ticket holders, you’ll be able to catch The Academy Is… on the 2025 lineup. You can watch them on Sunday, September 21, on the Rebel Stage playing Almost Here in its entirety. Plus, the Rebel Stage boasts sets from Cobra Starship, Gym Class Heroes, and more.
