Saves The Day have announced a new UK tour, celebrating the 25th anniversary of ‘Stay What You Are’.
The new dates kick off later this year, and see the New Jersey emo icons revisit their 2001 album, 25 years after it’s initial release.
‘Stay What You Are’ was the third from the band and received widespread acclaim when it dropped – pushing beyond their earlier emo and hardcore sound, and marking the indie-punk’s earliest mainstream breakthrough.
Now, frontman Chris Conley and co. are hitting the road later in 2026 to play the album in full, and tour dates kick off at Trinity in Bristol on November 17.
From there, live shows include stops at London’s Electric Brixton, Nottingham’s Palais and Glasgow’s Slay, before wrapping up with a slot at Loud & Clear Festival in Liverpool on November 21.
Tickets go on sale on Wednesday (July 1) at 10am BST, and pre-sale options start tomorrow (Tuesday June 30) at the same time. Support comes from Chastity and Turn of Phrase.

Saves The Day’s ‘Stay What You Are’ 25th anniversary UK tour dates are:
NOVEMBER
17 — Bristol, Trinity
18 — London, Electric Brixton

Conley, Bryan Newman, Eben D’Amico, David Soloway and Ted Alexander recorded the 2001 album with production from Rob Schnapf.
While Saves The Day have played routinely since they dropped their latest album ‘9’ back in 2018, they have not often embarked on full-blown headline tours in recent years. In 2019, Thursday brought frontman Chris Conley up on stage during their set supporting My Chemical Romance to cover the Buzzcocks track ‘Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve)’.
