Tonight Alive has made their monumental return to the U.S. stage with their first Stateside performance since the final cross-country Warped Tour in 2018. After announcing an indefinite hiatus from international touring on December 18, 2018—which led to the cancellation of their 2019 U.S. tour due to a “demanding” schedule and the need to prioritize their “mental and physical health”—the band played a few select shows in Australia. However, their appearance at When We Were Young marks their first U.S. performance in over six years, signaling a powerful comeback for the beloved Australian group.
Ahead of their performance, the Jenna McDougall-fronted group shared on Instagram, “It feels totally surreal to be reuniting for WWWY in 2024. The Other Side turned 10 this year. We can’t wait to play it again!”
Check out Tonight Alive performing “The Ocean” and “Lonely Girl” below.
More on Tonight Alive:
Tonight Alive has not issued new music since the release of their full-length record Underworld in January 2018. They announced their indefinite hiatus from international touring later that year. Their statement read: “Dear Humans. It’s with heavy but knowing hearts that we have come to the decision to cancel our upcoming U.S. tour for Jan/Feb. 2019. Our touring schedule over the years has been demanding and truthfully the makeup of our entire reality. Reaching the end of a particularly turbulent year, we are seeing the need to address and prioritize our mental and physical health. So in the interest of personal well-being and professional longevity, Tonight Alive will be taking a hiatus from international touring”
They continue, “We are treating this as a matter of the heart, mind, body and soul and hope you can accept our sincere apology to those we are letting down. Despite the intensities of 2017/18, we have continuously felt the love, connection and support from you all. Thank you for exploring and expressing yourselves so purely and fearlessly in the Underworld era.”
They conclude, “We are inspired by you and immensely grateful for this chapter of memories. Please be kind to yourselves. We won’t be far away.”
