With the world finally opening back up and our favorite bands getting back on the road, pop-punk dynamos State Champs have just announced their first headlining tour in more than two years. Supported by established alt-rock hotshots Four Year Strong and Real Friends, as well as newcomers Just Friends and Bearings, the guys are ready to get crowds singing and moshing once again. As if the prospect of seeing the boys playing all the hits like “Secrets,” “If I’m Lucky,” and “Elevated,” isn’t enough to get you hyped, the band has been teasing new music on social media for the last several months. Ahead of the announcement, frontman Derek DiScanio remarked:
“We are heading back on the road to headline the Pure Noise Records Tour this September-October. It’s been too long since we’ve been able to do what we love and see everyone in the US… expect this one to be extremely special as we will be with plenty of good company including Four Year Strong, Real Friends, Just Friends, and Bearings. Get your tickets quick!”
In their rock and roll career spanning four full-length records, two Alternative Press Music Awards, and plenty of entries on the Billboard rock and alternative charts, New York-based State Champs has enthralled and captivated audiences and rock critics alike for over a decade. Bolstered by their comradery with fellow alternative acts like The Maine and Mayday Parade, as well as a brilliant predilection to churn out cathartic classic pop punk with a new-school feel, the band has established a passionate fanbase with the moniker The Champs Fam and has played arenas, festivals, and even a beach in their touring career.
With years of rock staples under their belt, State Champs has a powerful bevy of high-energy pop-punk jams to fill up a setlist, from their most recognizable singles, most fan-favorited deep cuts, and surprising cover songs. Tickets for this incredible tour go on sale this Friday at 10am local time and can be found linked below.
