Thursday

From the desk of Geoff Rickly. Melbourne, Florida. We are so excited and surprised to be able to announce Family First Festival. After our last show, we began conversations about all the places that we hadn’t been able to play on our reunion. It seemed impossible that we would all be available at the same time to play shows again, especially in any sustained way. But when our old friends in BOYSETSFIRE(official) asked us to play this festival with them, we saw that we had a rare opportunity to accomplish two things at once: visit a country that’s always been kind to Thursday and play, once more, with a band that we’ve admired since before we were a band, a band that took us on one of our first tours ever. After much discussion among ourselves, we decided that there were certain cities around the globe that we had unfinished business in and if we find that, at some point in the future, we’re in a position to play them, then we will. We hope to see you there. ❤️✌🏻

Brooklyn - this is the last call! We have been inundated with requests for people asking for an opportunity to attend these St Vitus shows. Turns out people are flying in from Germany / England / Japan - shit, some are even coming from Lancaster, PA. Therefore we are gonna ditch Cousin Larry for a second time in three months and sell our guest list for March 17th only. Please note that we will NOT be releasing any extra tickets for March 18 and 19. A handful for St Paddy’s day will be on sale at this ticket link below. We reiterate that there will be no more Vitus shows added and that no extra tickets for Monday and Tuesday will be made available. This is it! https://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1783126

Boston - don't forget that we are doing a very special Beyond The Band Q and A on March 9th. It's gonna be the most exciting dramatic event to hit the city since Ally McBeal left town! Catch the last few tix here: https://en-gb.facebook.com/events/2052081698205287/

Brooklyn - This is just insanity - we are genuinely blown away by the response to these shows! Thanks for ALWAYS being there for us. We are overwhelmed by how quickly these two shows sold out, so here comes the third and final St Vitus show - no more will be added! General admission only tickets, as well as a specially signed (made out in your name) Collectors Edition of Full Collapse + show ticket package, all go on sale (wait for it...) NOW! https://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1820564

Texas! With all the talk of Brooklyn today, we don't want to forget the great state of Texas. We are two for two with sell outs in Austin and San Anotonio and more than ready to keep it up at Trees Dallas on Friday and Saturday night. To say we are excited to be back at one of our favorite venues is an understatement! These shows will be amazing - let's get it done!

From the desk of Geoff RIckly - Amarillo, TX Now that our 20th Anniversary has gotten off to such an incredible start, our only regret is that the end of the tour is already in sight. With this in mind we’ve been thinking about our final US show at St. Vitus. So many of our close friends were unable to get tickets, due to the high demand, that we feel it’s only right to add a second show. In an effort to combat ticket scalpers— and the frankly extortionate prices they’re charging— we are breaking up tickets into two groups for this additional show, on March 18th at St Vitus. The first will be a regular general admission ticket at the normal price and the second will come with a Special Collector’s edition of Full Collapse limited to only these two last shows at St. Vitus. Each record will be numbered and signed by all the band members, made out in the ticket holder’s name to stop them from being resold at a profit. We wanted to do something special for this show and finish our anniversary out with a bang. Lots of love, Thursday. Pre-sale is now live at: https://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1819186 pw: 20years General tickets go on sale Friday at 10.00am.

So excited to announce that our own Tucker Rule will be sitting in on the drums with the amazing 8G Band on Late Night with Seth Meyers Feb 4-7!!!! Cannot wait!! Photo by Carly Hoskins

Boston - We love you so much, we have decided to do something that we have never done before! We are going to take you 'Beyond The Band' on March 9th. This intimate sit down event will have us talking about the trails and tribulations of Thursday, how the music industry has changed from when we first started and what it means to be a musician in the 21st century. We will be doing a live Q and A and of course we will also knock out a few tunes!!! Tickets go on sale Fri, 1/18 @ 10am ET

Austin City! Paging all passengers wishing to travel on Thursday Air Flight #512 to Austin. For those of you waiting on standby, Thursday Air is delighted to announce that we have upgraded the plane to one with even more space and have just released a bunch more seats for the bigger room at Barracuda Austin Get them whilst you still can and remember Thursday Air will never charge you for checked luggage. We're good like that.

San Francisco - We have our bags packed! The Thursday jet is all fueled up and we are coming for you. Thursday on Thursday action starts tomorrow!

Brooklyn - you are the loves of our lives! Tonight was amazing!!!!! Tomorrow (Sunday) marks the end of our four night stretch at Music Hall of Williamsburg and to celebrate, the very last of the last tickets will be for sale, online Sunday morning with any remaining - saved for the door. We aren’t perfect but we are trying our best to make sure NO-ONE has to pay inflated prices to come see us play! It means the world to us that you all are still with us twenty years down the line. Show 4 is gonna be one you don’t wanna miss!

666 people bought tickets to see us tonight at Music Hall of Williamsburg - true story! The Bowery Presents are being so cool and are gonna put up a handful of tickets for sale online tomorrow morning (29th December) for both Saturday and Sunday nights. Any that don’t go will be available on the door! These shows have been beyond special for us and we are working on an hour by hour basis to do what we can collectively and individually to get everyone that wants to see the show into the room!!! Thank you! T

Friends, Nearing the end of our 20th Year as a band, Thursday has so much to be thankful for. With the holiday spirit in mind, we have decided to team up with the promoters on our 20th anniversary grand finale tour and do something special to help those less fortunate than ourselves. A very limited number of specially priced 'two night' package tickets for both the Full Collapse and War All the Time shows will be made available between Wednesday, the 19th of December, and Christmas Eve in a select number of cities(except, of course, in the cases where shows are already sold out for one or both nights). In a few cities, the next twenty buyers will get a special goodie bag from us upon entering the venue! All proceeds from these very limited packages will be donated to endhomelessness.org at the end of the tour. See local listings for details. We will be making donations from the proceeds of the shows that are already sold out as well. The world has been very kind to us over the years. We’re grateful to be able to show a little kindness in return. Thank you for all the support. Bah Humbug - Thursday

Last time we played Brooklyn, we not only channeled our inner Rammstein but also had the honor of sharing the stage with our friends PUP Jeff Rosenstock and The Hotelier For our holiday shows this year at Music Hall of Williamsburg we have kept the bar high. Joining us on Nights One and Two will be Weekend and our old pal Vinnie Caruana will be treading the boards on nights Three and Four. Come on down! Single digit tickets left for two of the nights - the other two are beyond sold out. Thank you!!!!!!

Pete Shelley was without a doubt one of the best songwriters that ever came out of any scene. He was also an incredibly kind and generous man. We feel lucky to have known him, to have shared a stage with him, and to have learned a thing or two from him. RIP

Brooklyn - So many people are hitting us up about not being able to come to the end of year shows at Music Hall of Williamsburg because they sold out super quick! (Thank you for that, by the way!) Therefore because it is the season to be giving, we are gonna release the majority of our guest list holds for all four nights. Sorry Cousin Larry! They are on sale NOW and they will go super fast. Happy Holidays from all of us!

Boston - we got you. Tickets on sale Friday at 10.00am

Please vote.

We have made the decision to move our Boston show. More details to follow next week.

Leg 2: It’s our honor to announce that we’ll be ending our 20th Anniversary by taking Full Collapse and War All the Time on the road, for a very limited US tour, in early 2019. When we reunited the band, two years ago, we had no idea that it would carry us through our 20th year or that we’d be selling out every show that we play in 2018. It’s been a very gratifying and humbling year for us. This tour is our attempt at saying ‘thank you’ to all of the people around the US that have supported us for all these years. We’ll be playing small venues, like we did when we began touring. At the conclusion of this tour, we intend to put an end to ‘the reunion.’ When we stopped playing last time, it wasn’t on the best of terms. This time, we get to put down touring on the very highest of notes: in each other’s lives and able to pick up and play together behind closed doors whenever we want. If we are ever able to do Thursday again, it will be a new, separate chapter. Thank you all for your time, attention and friendship. Tickets go on sale Friday 2nd November at 10.00am. Some venues are doing pre-sales on Thursday 1st. Check local listings for details.
