Jimmy Eat World are celebrating a major milestone, as their album Bleed American turns 25 next year.
To celebrate the occasion, the band have announced three huge shows for August 2026, and tickets will be available via Live Nation, See Tickets, and Ticketmaster.
These dates include their largest London gig to date at Gunnersbury Park, as well as The Piece Hall in Halifax and Cardiff Castle, with what fans are calling a 'killer line-up' of Rise Against, The Get Up Kids, and Jay Som.
But some fans are confused by the locations chosen: "These are bizarre venues, and Halifax especially as a location. They're all like national trust style country estates, rather than venues," wrote one.
Many bands have played The Piece Hall recently, including Korn and Deftones.
"I grew up in London, and have lived here for over 20 years, and I'd never heard of 'Gunnersbury Park'," added another, even though Jimmy Eat World played there in 2019 at Gunnersville Festival.
"The Piece Hall is stunning, I'm so excited!" insisted one fan, while another is flying over from Barcelona to see the show.

What will the Jimmy Eat World set list look like?
The band are celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Bleed American, a record which has sold more than 1.6 million copies worldwide and has gone platinum twice over.
They will be playing the album in full to mark the occasion, as well as some greatest hits and rarities.
One of the singles, The Middle, has clocked up more than a billion streams on Spotify.
Singer Jim Adkins says of the record: "When we printed the last mix of Bleed American, we felt like we had achieved something great for ourselves. There was no barometer of how it would connect with people outside of the studio and we are still in awe with the life the record and songs have had since their original release. Bleed American is as much yours as it is ours, so we want to celebrate it with you all in a very special way.”
