Emo-rock stalwarts Taking Back Sunday are marking a major milestone with a 20th-anniversary reissue of their pivotal 2006 album, ‘Louder Now.’ According to Consequence, the expanded edition arrives on October 16 via Craft Recordings and includes the B-sides “Brooklyn (If You See Something, Say Something)” and “Sleep” as bonus tracks. The release coincides with a significant touring chapter, as the band has also been announced as the support act for Weezer‘s 2027 international tour.
This dual announcement underscores the album’s enduring legacy. Frontman Adam Lazzara told Brooklyn Vegan the record “represents a huge milestone,” adding that performing its songs with both guitarist Fred Mascherino and longtime member John Nolan on stage together feels “incredible.” The band’s fall 2026 U.S. headlining tour with Thrice and Saves the Day will culminate in a special October 14 show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre where they will perform ‘Louder Now’ in its entirety.
Vinyl Variants and Global Itinerary
The reissue will be available in multiple vinyl editions, including exclusive color variants like “Amazonite Swirl” and “Ultra-Clear with Glitter.” Per the initial report, pre-orders are live now. The touring schedule reveals the band’s busy slate. After the fall U.S. run, Taking Back Sunday will join Weezer’s ‘The Gathering’ world tour in 2027, opening all dates across Japan and Europe from February through June, as confirmed by NME and Jambase. This international support slot introduces their classic early-2000s sound to a new, broad audience alongside one of alternative rock’s biggest acts.
A Major SoCal Stop on the Celebration Tour
For Southern California fans, the anniversary celebration hits close to home. Taking Back Sunday is confirmed to perform at Petco Park in San Diego on October 11, 2026, as part of their co-headlining tour. The show at Gallagher Square presents a prime local opportunity to experience the ‘Louder Now’ material live ahead of the album’s full performance at Red Rocks. This stop is a key part of a packed season of alt-rock in the region, which also includes Weezer’s own upcoming shows at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and Viejas Arena in San Diego.
What’s next is a global victory lap for an album that helped define a genre. The reissue offers a tangible piece of history for collectors, while the extensive touring—from Petco Park to European arenas—demonstrates the lasting power of these songs. With the current live lineup featuring key members from the album’s era, the band is poised to deliver a potent mix of nostalgia and reinvigorated energy for fans old and new.
