Lancaster, Pennsylvania metalcore act AUGUST BURNS RED has revealed plans to broadcast a previously recorded 20th-anniversary show next month
The band, nominated for a GRAMMY, professionally filmed and mixed their performance at Stage AE in Pittsburgh, PA on May 3rd, 2023. Fans worldwide can tune in to the live internet broadcast scheduled for February 3rd, and tickets for streaming the set can be purchased through augustburnsredtourmerch.com.
In conjunction with this event, pre-orders for a new AUGUST BURNS RED live album that commemorates the 20th-anniversary tour are now available on the same site.
Titled “20 Year Tour Live,” the album features live recordings from various stops on the tour. The band shared their thoughts on this exciting release: “Winter sucks so let’s do something together. Join us on Saturday, February 3, for a special livestream of our 20 Year Anniversary show from Stage AE in Pittsburgh, PA. We filmed and recorded the entire show, and had the footage and audio professionally edited and mixed. The five of us will be hanging out with everyone in the chat during the stream, so let’s share memories, reminisce, and have a great time together.
“Also, we’re stoked to announce that we’ve put together a new live album from our 20 Year Anniversary Tour. Every night on tour, we recorded the audio for each set. Then, we picked our favorite songs from different cities all over North America and put together the album. It was the perfect way for us to wrap up our 20-year anniversary, and be able to relive those shows forever.”
