Switchfoot is excited to announce that they will be joining Blue October on a US tour this summer.
Tour dates will be announced on Thursday May 28th, with a PRESALE for our FRIENDS OF THE FOOT starting on Monday June 1st at 10am local venue time.
General onsale will be on Friday June 5th at 10am local venue time. Ticketing links and full show info will be posted shortly.
Color me stoked. I remember hearing Blue October's singles, "Hate Me" and "Into the Ocean" endlessly on the radio a couple years back. Not a huge fan, but I must say that it's pretty sweet that Switchfoot gets another run with a pretty big band in the adult contemporary/modern rock genre. (see 3 Doors Down Tour last year).
We'll see what comes of this. What are your thoughts on the band? On Switchfoot's decision to go on an actual tour this summer?

Personally I think they can use it as a great opportunity to minister and reach a lot of people through their music but as far as Blue Monday is concerned, I can't stand them and regret them being on the tour because it will take away from the amazingness of a Switchfoot show!
Evan, you might be right on the ministering opportunity (although I doubt that's the main goal here). But I think the fact that Blue October is a pretty huge band will help make Switchfoot more well-known.
Heck, by the time this tour starts rolling, the Foot might even have a new SINGLE to promote. That gets me stoked. =)
