Jimmy Eat World quietly rolled out a U.S. run and fans on Reddit are already piecing together where those gaps might mean festival stops — and why Atlanta didn’t make the list.
Billboard has the official dates, and the quick takeaways are: there’s no confirmed Atlanta show, Nashville’s November 12 date lists the venue as TBA, and the routing leaves coverage gaps in the Midwest and East Coast that festival-goers say could point to appearances at regional fests.
Why fans care: Redditors pointed out the itinerary looks like a mix of club/smaller-venue dates and bigger outdoor slots — which is exactly the kind of routing that can signal festival bookings. Theories being tossed around include Sea Hear Now for NYC-area coverage and a Louisville-area festival for the Midwest gap. There’s also talk that Jimmy Eat World could play Bourbon & Beyond (which would make them eligible for the Shaky Knees/Louder Than Life domino effect) — but Redditors warned that certain festival bookings could rule others out.
Confirmed (selected) dates posted in the tour listing for reference:
– September 6 — Phoenix, AZ — Chase Field (supporting My Chemical Romance)
– September 9 — Austin, TX — Moody Amphitheater
– September 10 — Dallas, TX — The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory
– September 12–13 — Mexico City, MX — Vans Warped Tour
– November 12 — Nashville, TN — Venue info TBA
– November 14 — Tampa, FL — MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre
– November 14–15 — Orlando, FL — Vans Warped Tour
From the thread: a few reactions that sum up the mood — “they still slap,” “If they do come through it’d be awesome if we got Sunny Day Real Estate again,” and an annoyed fan who wrote they were hoping for a full-album Blue Album (Bleed American) show instead of what might end up being a greatest-hits festival set.
What to watch next: keep an eye on festival lineup announcements and the band’s official pages — if that Nashville venue fills in or if a mid-September slot pops up on a festival lineup, it’ll confirm a lot of the Reddit speculation. We’ll update the wire as those pieces fall into place.
