The Fray

Following a triumphant 2024 return after a decade-long hiatus, The Fray continues to move fans with their emotional, cinematic alt-rock sound. Rising to multi-platinum prominence in the early 2000s, the Colorado group introduced a uniquely soul-searching style that feels both timeless and inventive, arena-sized yet profoundly intimate. Their enduring success has earned them 4 GRAMMY nominations, 3 Billboard Music Awards, multiple Billboard Top 10 hits and a deeply devoted global fanbase.

Their breakout single “How To Save A Life” spent 58 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a cultural touchstone through Grey’s Anatomy, while their debut album remains one of the best-selling digital debuts in history. Now entering their next chapter, The Fray continue to build on their legacy with their latest album, A Light That Waits.

SUPPORT

Dashboard Confessional

Dashboard Confessional is the acclaimed emo and alternative rock project led by singer-songwriter Chris Carrabba, whose deeply personal songwriting and intimate performances helped define a generation of emotional music. Emerging in the early 2000s with the breakthrough album The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most, Carrabba built a devoted following through raw, confessional songs including “Screaming Infidelities”, “Saints and Sailors” and “Hands Down”.

The project’s 2001 debut The Swiss Army Romance and subsequent releases cemented Dashboard Confessional as a defining force in the emo scene, while the band’s 2006 album Dusk and Summer marked their first Top 10 debut on the Billboard 200. More than 2 decades into his career, Carrabba continues to evolve Dashboard Confessional while retaining the emotional honesty that first connected with fans.
