That was the last album that, after the iconic debut, got me into their emotive melodic metalcore, and I listened to it on loop; even though I’m not the biggest fan of their current rock incarnation, it’s always nice to look back and remember. Now there’s some great news to share, as ATREYU are thrilled to announce a monumental tour to celebrate their groundbreaking and highly influential album, The Curse. The shows will see the band returning to stages across the UK and Europe in 2025, performing the beloved record in its entirety, along with fan favourites spanning their career.
Originally released on 29th June 2004, The Curse became a defining moment in the history of melodic, emotive metalcore. The album’s raw intensity, dynamic guitar work and unrelenting energy cemented ATREYU as one of the most influential bands of the genre.
“The Curse changed everything for us,” says vocalist Brandon Saller. “It’s the album that introduced us to the world and still resonates deeply with fans today. 20+ years later, we’re incredibly excited to bring this record to life once again for those who’ve grown with us and those discovering it for the first time.”
“We’ve always said our music is about connection,” adds guitarist Dan Jacobs. “The Curse brought so many people together, and we’re excited to reignite that connection on this tour.”
The Curse will be played front to back across the entire tour in all its glory. Kicking off in the UK on 27th September, fans can expect to witness a full-throttle live experience which will include much loved ATREYU classics like ‘Bleeding Mascara,’ ‘The Crimson’ and ‘Right Side of the Bed’.
Special guest support acts will be announced in the coming months, and limited-edition anniversary and vintage items will be available at each show.
Artist pre-sale will be available from today (11th December) with exclusive pre-sales for fan club members. VIP packages including meet-and-greets, The Curse Q&A, a special edition merch item, photo opportunities, and signed memorabilia will also be available. General on sale begins on 13th December, with more details available at atreyuofficial.com.
