Saves The Day Announce UK Tour Celebrating ‘Stay What You Are’

Saves The Day are heading back to the UK this November to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their acclaimed album Stay What You Are. The band will perform the record in full across five dates, giving fans the chance to hear one of emo’s most influential releases live. The shows mark a celebration of an album that helped shape the sound of emo and indie-punk for years to come.
According to a press release from Saves The Day’s team, their UK tour kicks off November 17th in Bristol.
The tour will hit London, Nottingham and Glasgow before wrapping in Liverpool for an inaugural Loud & Clear Festival headline performance.
Released in 2001 on Vagrant Records, “Stay What You Are” was an instant success — one of indie-punk’s earliest mainstream breakthroughs while never losing the cred that made them so beloved. The lyricism of vocalist Chris Conley brought a beauty and grotesqueness not yet seen in the genre: a voice unguarded and literary in equal measure, turning an idiosyncratic way of expression into something deeply relatable.
Paired with masterful songwriting from Conley and the band’s 2001 line-up Bryan Newman, Eben D’Amico, David Soloway and Ted Alexander along with Rob Schnapf’s production, the result was something genuinely singular. In the years that followed, bands like Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, Thursday, Fall Out Boy, Paramore and countless others emerged carrying its DNA, with the album now widely regarded as a genre-defining classic.
The five-date UK run will see Saves The Day perform the album in full. Artist presale begins today, Tuesday 30th June at 10am UK time before the general on-sale on Wednesday 1st July at the same time.
