Rock fans, get ready to mark your calendars because The Gaslight Anthem are gearing up to hit the road this summer on a sprawling US tour. The New Jersey-born rockers, known for their heartfelt anthems tinged with punk and Americana, broke news of their latest tour, set to rock venues from coast to coast and everywhere in between, as reported by KATU.

This tour marks a significant homecoming for The Gaslight Anthem, having reformed last year following a hiatus that left fans wondering if they'd ever get to see the band perform live again. Not only do concertgoers have live shows to look forward to, but they're also in for a treat with new tunes to rock out to. The band is slated to release "History Books - Short Stories," their first EP in over a decade, hot on the heels of their 2023 album. Included in this new venture is a rendition of Billie Eilish's haunting ballad "Ocean Eyes," a cover that promises to please and surprise both old fans and new, according to WPDE.

The ragged glory of The Gaslight Anthem's sound, which has previously drawn comparisons to the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, is sure to fill the halls from the Rocky Mountains to the golden West Coast, down to the heart of the South, then back to where it all began on the East Coast. This series of shows will serve as a celebration of the band's storied career, offering fans a mix of fresh material and the nostalgic pull of their classics.

Details of the tour stops are yet to be fully disclosed, but eager fans should keep an eye out for announcements on when they can grab tickets to see these Jersey Shore rockers. As noted by FOX Richmond, The Gaslight Anthem will definitively bring down the houses at venues packed with fans both long-time and freshly minted, all ready to bask in the anthemic storytelling that the band is known for. From "The '59 Sound" to "American Slang," their lyrics and hooks are set to resonate with the masses once again.
