Like Henry Rollins before them, Underoath are getting back in the van.
The venerated post-hardcore outfit have unveiled their spring and summer plans, which are being branded as “The Van Tour to Vans Warped Tour.” As implied by the title, the trek — which is also sponsored by Vans — will have Underoath traveling old-school, eschewing a tour bus in favor of a van. They’ll be hitting a series of independent venues between their coastal stops at the Warped Tour in Washington, D.C., and Long Beach, California.
“We haven’t driven across the country together as one unit, listening to the same music, stopping at the same rest stops, eating the same meals etc. in two decades plus,” guitarist Tim McTague commented. “I think there is a magic there that breeds something existentially curious about someone, and I can’t wait to see what that is for us.
He added: “The idea of going back into a van, and reconnecting with how we used to tour, will be impactful at worst. At best, it’s an opportunity to reconnect in the same environment that we had prior in a new way and what that unlocks for us as friends, bandmates and more exciting to me… creatively.”
While Underoath’s next U.S. show is their May 10th appearance at Welcome to Rockville on Daytona Beach, Florida, the van tour begins in earnest with a June 8th stop at the Albatross in Jacksonville, Florida. Joining Underoath on the smaller headlining club dates will be Coheed and Cambria side project HELD.
“Those small hot rooms have an energy in them you can’t get anywhere else,” noted keyboardist Chris Dudley. “We’ve talked about doing something like this for a long time, just getting in a van and hitting a couple small venues and letting it rip, and the fact that we’re actually doing it this time is mega exciting to me. It’s gonna be wild.”
He adds, however: “I’m still scared of [drummer-vocalist] Aaron [Gillespie]’s driving so we’re gonna keep him in shotgun to DJ.”
