Overview
- The band announced on Nov. 9 that it will mount a 15-date Unplugged: 25th Anniversary Tour running March 12, 2027 in Chicago through April 3, 2027 in San Francisco.
- The itinerary crosses major U.S. markets and includes a lone Canadian stop at Toronto’s Massey Hall on March 15 as part of the 15-show run.
- Ticketing opens with Saints & Sailors fan-club and artist presales beginning Nov. 12 followed by a general on-sale on Nov. 13, with tickets to be offered through major sellers such as Ticketmaster and AXS.
- Frontman Chris Carrabba said short solo acoustic shows in Nashville, New York and Los Angeles inspired the tour and that the band will perform the original Unplugged band arrangements; the group also experienced an amicable drummer departure earlier in 2026.
- The tour ties directly to the band’s 2002 MTV Unplugged 2.0 release, which earned Dashboard Confessional its first RIAA Platinum certification and No. 1 placements on Billboard’s Heatseekers and Top Independent Albums charts, and the band also has separately reported 2027 plans with The Fray and on Hilary Duff’s arena dates.
