The Used and Pierce the Veil have announced “The Creative Control Tour,” a co-headlining North American run which will also feature special guests Don Broco, DeathbyRomy and/or Girlfriends at select stops. And let me tell you, we are here for this. What’s the bets this is at the top of the list for the top tours of 2023?
Both groups will be out in support of 2023 albums with Toxic Positivity from The Used landing on May 19, four days before the tour starts, and The Jaws of Life, the latest from Pierce the Veil after a seven-year gap between full lengths.
Starting in Austin, Texas on May 23 with a total of 26 dates on the books, the last being July 2 in Phoenix, Arizona.
“We are more than excited for our first tour with Pierce the Veil,” – Bert McCracken,
“We’ve been friends for a long time and I know this will be a tour to remember. We can’t wait for you to hear some new music! We are so fucking stoked and will see you there!”- BM
"Every night of this tour is going to be a celebration. Our new album The Jaws of Life is finally out and we get to share this monumental moment with our beautiful fans. We are so honored to hit the road with The Used, a band that has inspired us since the very beginning. It’s going to be unlike any other tour we’ve done and we can’t wait to see you there. Thank you for all of your support."
