Four Year Strong will celebrate their 25th anniversary as a band and the 20th anniversary of their 2007 album “Rise or Die Trying” with a U.S. tour in spring 2027. The band will perform the album in full alongside songs spanning their career, including deep cuts and tracks that rarely appear in the setlist.
The tour begins on March 20 in Buffalo, New York, and concludes with a hometown show at Citizens House of Blues in Boston on April 30. Joining the run as special guests are Drug Church, Heart Attack Man and Sunbloc. Drug Church will not appear at the Buffalo and Milwaukee dates, while Heart Attack Man will miss the Cleveland show.
2027 is a big year for us. Not only have we had 25 years as a band, playing incredible shows and tours, doing things we never dreamed we would do, but also 20 years ago we released ‘Rise Or Die Trying’, the record that started everything for us. It gave us the foundation for everything that came after.
So, in celebration of two huge milestones in the FYS story, we will be playing ‘Rise Or Die Trying’ in full, as well as songs that span the last 25 years, featuring lots of deep cuts and rare setlist appearances! We are incredibly pumped to be doing it with Drug Church, Heart Attack Man and Sunbloc. This is going to be something special, and we can’t wait to spend it with all of you!
The album “Rise or Die Trying” features some of Four Year Strong‘s best-known songs, including “Heroes Get Remembered, Legends Never Die,” “Bada Big! Wit’ A Pipe!” and “Beatdown In The Key Of Happy.” The record helped establish the Massachusetts band’s blend of pop-punk melodies, punchy hardcore energy and technical guitar work.
The group’s latest full-length album, “Analysis Paralysis,” arrived in August 2024 via Pure Noise Records.
** No Drug Church. *** No Heart Attack Man.
