Fans Report In: Brand New Tour

[Ryan Imhof]

After the Brand New (http://www.absolutepunk.net/brandnew) show in Charlotte, Jesse announced that they would be opening for Dashboard Confessional (http://www.absolutepunk.net/dashboardconfessional) again in the fall.

[leafsacc]

aren't they a little bit big to be openning for anyone?

[Jonathan Lally]

first (and only) time I ever saw Brand New was opening for Dashboard, now this will be the second time.

[sizablescarsxx]

i was under the impression they were going to have their own headlining tour in the fall.
i hate seated venues. and with dashboard, that's what's going to happen.

[Ryan Imhof]

aren't they a little bit big to be openning for anyone?
i post what they send in.

[abusedcat]

damnit.

[Alba]

Sounds like a great show ... but yeah they seem a little big to be opening for Dashboard, but still great show.

[uh oh smmoreo]

Do you guys really consider Brand New to be bigger than Dashboard Confessional? Like, seriously?

[dpmurph]

Wtf, Shouldn't it kind of be the other way around?

[Blake Solomon]

Wtf, Shouldn't it kind of be the other way around?


no. DC might not be better, but they are def. way more popular.

[unwritten]

Again?

[fedhed7]

You guys have no idea how big DC is compared to Brand New.

[zizou1790]

goood this time they better come by pittsburgh, but i think this tour shuold be vice versa

[nivek87]

Do you guys really consider Brand New to be bigger than Dashboard Confessional? Like, seriously?

yes...brand new fans are a cult. dashboard is/has been on the downfall

[capnshindig]

I think this is awesome, I can't wait. Dashboard always brings a great tour, MXPX, Brand New, Vendetta Red, Get Up Kids, Thrice, Say Anything...

[ACA]

Dashboard sells MILLIONS of records. Brand New hasn't sold ONE MILLION. This is going to be a large tour.. expect pit tickets (like always) to sell out in minutes.

I'm glad I saw Brand New twice this week do two 15-song-ish sets, mostly of Deja. But I will definitely get to this Dashboard show.

-ACA

[HazeLitRise]

oh...... my..... dear..... god...
im actually crying a little

[dpmurph]

yes...brand new fans are a cult. dashboard is/has been on the downfall :appl:

Srsly, this tour will most likely sell out due to Brandnew fans, not so much on DC's part. But still, they are two of my favorite bands, and Im pumped for this show.

[Punkdc]

Not really that impressive. I do think DC is on the decline. But those who are questioning, Chris and Jessy are really close friends. I remember last year or two years ago, Chis did a solo show and Jessy showed up randomly to play a few songs

[Take Heart]

Bleh. I will not be attending this, as much as i love seeing brand new live, i despise DC.

[ImJerry]

i'll be there for brand new.
seeing them in a little less than a month in kansas.


hah. i remember when dashboard played a county fair here quite a few years back.

[Jonathan Lally]

Dashboard Confessional is far bigger than Brand New. Just because you like Brand New more than DC doesn't mean you can deny the obvious.

I like Dashboard a lot, and I like Brand New, but did Brand New have the theme song for Spiderman 2?

Come on, people.

[fedhed7]

yes...brand new fans are a cult. dashboard is/has been on the downfallDo you really think so? I friends who listen to only TRL crap that also listen to Dashboard, and their fanbase is only growing.

[cahrishurr]

dashboard is 5x bigger than brand new

they are also 5x shittier...
but thats something else thats up for debate

[poppa Q]

Wow, I didn't expect all of the ignorance in some of these posts.

[domesticyeti]

it wont be a problem if the show isnt seated, cuase brand new will probably still get a pretty long set.
however, if it is seated it might suck.

[PaintTheTarget]

i thought the main argument was that brand new was too big to be opening for DC, not that they were actually bigger than them....

[make_this_hurt]

Great... now I'm gonna have to pay lke $40 to see them instead of $20. Plus 8,000 13 year olds who want to blow Chris Carraba.

[westsidas2000]

yes...brand new fans are a cult. dashboard is/has been on the downfall
totally agree, dashboard's on the way down. Brand New is not a scene favorite anymore, they are the real deal.

[brandneww]

it's not whether or not brand new should open for dashboard, or dashboard should open for brand new...the fact is BOTH these bands are too big to be opening for anyone....if anything, they should do a co-headlining tour.

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

Who cares who's bigger than who DC and Brand New are going to be on tour together :D.

[nivek87]

Do you really think so? I friends who listen to only TRL crap that also listen to Dashboard, and their fanbase is only growing.

i do, and i also think brand new is going to continue to grow and grow. i felt like i was a a fob show on thursday when i saw BN. plus im assuming this tour will be post-album release

[nivek87]

it's not whether or not brand new should open for dashboard, or dashboard should open for brand new...the fact is BOTH these bands are too big to be opening for anyone....if anything, they should do a co-headlining tour.

agreed.

[Rock]

why?

[RandomHero1230]

:unfair:

[nivek87]

Who cares who's bigger than who DC and Brand New are going to be on tour together :D.

smaller set ring a bell?

[_kelly]

cant wait.

[The Fix]

hahah, brand new sucks

[Shatter_Glass]

This tour is more than likely true. Garett said so last night.

[Shatter_Glass]

hahah, brand new sucks
ThanksFelixCuplaGoYourself

[irthesteve]

i hate how i always miss brand new. this will probably be east coast and i'll probably miss them again

[seans seatbelt]

They should both come out and play at the exact same time.

[fluke182]

Man...this was such a boring show when I saw them together three years ago. It made me never want to see BN or Dashboard again. Sadly enough, amongst those two, MxPx and Vendetta Red, Vendetta Red was the only one that brought any energy. I will be skipping this one, even though I love BN recorded.

Also, you are all kidding yourselves if you think Brand New should co-headline with Dashboard, or that Dashboard should open for them. Dashboard's last album went gold, opened in the top 10 of the Billboard charts, killed on TRL and in radio airplay AND was critically acclaimed. Brand New was only the last one. The highest position on the billboard chart. Deja went to? 63. If you combined the sales of both Brand New full lengths, you still have less album sales than Dashboard's last album. So yeah, you are insane if you think Brand New should headline.

[blimpcityhero11]

I don't really care about all these complaints... it's going to be a great tour...'nuff said.

[woodj313]

I was at this show last nite, and Jesse never said anything about touring with DC in the fall. This is pretty much B.S. news.

indeed.

It wasn't announced during the show, it was talked about whenever I met Jesse last night--around 1 o clock in the morning or so.

[weworemasks]

wrong, dashboard has millions and millions of fans. have you heard of a song called "vindicated?"

:appl:

Srsly, this tour will most likely sell out due to Brandnew fans, not so much on DC's part. But still, they are two of my favorite bands, and Im pumped for this show.

you are seriously braindead. i dont even think brand new has gone gold with their records.

coming from the kid with the same generic avatar

coming from the kid who had a huge avatar of jesse lacey's face, that read, "the only broken hearted loser"
hahahah

[Salomonbz90]

Everyone needs to shut up.

Its gonna be a good tour and no it should not be the other way around.
Get over it

[Salomonbz90]

Hahahaha I was thinking that too.

[AFSjulian]

My guess is that this tour hits the places that DC isn't hitting on their summer tour with Say Anything. I'm going to see them in Pittsburgh on the 5th, but I'm crossing my fingers in the hopes that DC/Brand New comes to Cleveland on this fall tour since they aren't on these upcoming dates because...

Dashboard is awesome. Brand New is awesome. Brand New will still play at least an hour, I'm sure and there will only be one opening band to save room for long sets from both. If you look at the numbers, DC is bigger. Anyone who says otherwise must be blind. Dashboard had a Top 40 single not too long ago...

[resUrectMe617]

haha, you must be joking. i love brand new, they are my fave band, but if you think BN will be the reason (moreso than DC) that this tour sells out than you must be on something. although DC hasn't been around for awhile, the release of their new album will really propel all of Chris' fans back into action. i mean cmon, its DASHBOARD. i have all kinds of people coming into the store where i work, asking about the new cd. dashboard is mainstream and mainstream will flock to this tour like crazy. as much as i'd love for bn to headline over dc, its just a wish for now.

[chokeychicken]

And this is coming from a person who has two posts...

i can second this. i was at the show in charlotte last night, and jesse made NO mention of this. this is bogus.

I agree with you completely. If they do it with one smaller opening act and brand new still plays a pretty decent length set then I will enjoy this tour a lot. Hopefully it hits Cleveland or Buffalo.

[neo506]

It wasn't announced during the show, it was talked about whenever I met Jesse last night--around 1 o clock in the morning or so.

It was Garret who said this. And it was never said "opening for" just touring with

I was standing right there

[TheLifeMelodic]

I'm siding with everyone being optimistic that reguardless who opens for who it's going to be a good show. If last night's Brand New show in Charlotte was any sort of indication of what their new stuff sounds like the new album is going to be amazing. Dashboard's really starting to shape into a great sounding band, Brand New's getting back to their stride and pretty much making a great comeback.

enough debate.

[elonman05]

I was at that show and stayed the whole time. I didn't hear Jesse say any of that but that could have been because a drunk muscle guy started Serinading me (p.s. i'm a guy) during Play Crack The Sky.

It was crazy hot in there. I couldn't believe it when Jesse almost passed out from the heat. He looked like Hell after he fell down and walked off stage in the middle of the set momentarily.

[MarkyMark1984]

wasn't mxpx on that tour when they opened for dashboard? Mxpx has been around a lot longer than either brand new or dashboard, but that doesn't make them more popular. just roll with it.

:appl:Thankyouu.
Personally, I think both bands are great, so I'm pretty excited.

[MisterJefferson]

i didn't know where else to put this, so here goes.

so on the dashboard track, "so long, so long" is that adam duritz doing backing vocals??

[chcougar1]

i didn't know where else to put this, so here goes.

so on the dashboard track, "so long, so long" is that adam duritz doing backing vocals??

Yes it is



and yeah I've been calling this tour since...well okay only like a week ago when Chris said he was touring with someone he has toured with in the past and everyone wanted him to do it again

my prediction is that there will be 3 bands

the opener will play for 30 minutes
Brand New will play for 50
and Dash will play for 90

[chcougar1]

oh also,

this will be a national tour again...its actually the "big" Dusk and Summer tour

[MisterJefferson]

Yes it is

well, i will be damned. first michael stipe. now this. dang.

[oh word]

Their concert in Charlotte was siiiick last night though.
I'll definatly be seeing them again with Dashboard.

[brandnizzle2419]

why does it matter what order they play in? two very good bands playin in the same show. happens all the time.

[buysoap]

last time this tour existed, my friend and i left right after b niz played.

[dashboard1190]

I'll be in attendance.

[kara5419]

does anyone know if this will be a full us tour?

[Ailite]

DC is way bigger than Brand New, but it should definitely be the other way around.

[TBSowns524]

i'm not really a fan of dashboard and i was hoping brand new would headline so this is disapointing and i probably wont go based on the fact that tickets will prolly be expensive and brand new's set prolly wont be too long... ive seen bn once this year and ill see them again in august so i can wait again til next year

[atticusfinch]

I was at this show last nite, and Jesse never said anything about touring with DC in the fall. This is pretty much B.S. news. exactly.

this is BS. i was in attendance last night, and jesse said nothing of the kind. He did almost pass out though. GOD it was so hot in there. everyone's hands were shriveling because of all the damn water the staff kept pouring on us. That did feel nice though.

[Spiffysthebest]

Yea, I don't like Dashboard. However, they are bringing Say Anything & Ben Lee to town...

Brand New should do a Canadian headlining tour. Come on guys!

[TheLifeMelodic]

exactly.

this is BS. i was in attendance last night, and jesse said nothing of the kind. He did almost pass out though. GOD it was so hot in there. everyone's hands were shriveling because of all the damn water the staff kept pouring on us. That did feel nice though.

he didn't say anything about on stage. but if you read the post it says AFTER THE SHOW.
why would anyone lie about it? go drink your hateraid.

[atticusfinch]

he didn't say anything about on stage. but if you read the post it says AFTER THE SHOW.
why would anyone lie about it? go drink your hateraid. my mistake, i didn't see the guy's comment that it was actually garret who said it.

at any rate, unless this is a small club tour, i don't think i'll go see this, simply because tickets will likely be 28 bucks and up. that, and i'm seeing brand new again next week, so i won't complain if i don't get to see them on the dashboard tour.

[chcougar1]

ummm this will NOT be a small club tour considering the place I'm seeing Dash in july hold 3500 people and the fall tour is the bigger of the two tours....

ive heard this is an arena tour, but I guess we will see!!!

Also...I expect tickets to be about $40 if it is an arena tour.....fall out boy was $43

[IATA4224]

Do you guys really consider Brand New to be bigger than Dashboard Confessional? Like, seriously?

umm yea... Dashboard...lol

[Loch_Doun]

good! after being nonexistent for years Brand New deserves to only be opening shows.

[Julia Conny]

the first time i ever saw dashboard or brand new was when they were both on tour together. tickets are gonna sell like hotcakes in december.

[shambles]

good! after being nonexistent for years Brand New deserves to only be opening shows.

Whether they "deserve" to be opening shows or not, they still sold out almost all their headlining shows after being nonexistent, which is more than I can say for Dashboard who hasn't sold out one show in Orlando. I love Dashboard, don't get me wrong, and I don't care who opens for whom, I just don't know if I would want to pay $30+ to see Brand New play a short set when it barely cost me that much to see them headline shows 2 days in a row combined. I've seen them with Dashboard and was real disappointed with the short set.

I'm still gonna go though. :D

[daBNmaradona]

i was hoping for another brand new headlining tour. this sucks. i hope it isnt true. i like dashboard but this still sucks.

[Chris Fallon]

I think that's cool - I remember when they toured together before, so maybe this time I can see the show. I mean, as big and popular as DC is, I think Brand New is a bit too popular to be an opener. Shit, every tour Brand New starts sells out every show, and DC doesn't have that going for them, as far as I know, so it's hard for me to believe that just because DC is more popular in terms of records sales and airplay that BN couldn't headline a big time tour. Either way, what the hell do I care? I like both bands, so I'm fuckin there.

[Java Nick]

first (and only) time I ever saw Brand New was opening for Dashboard, now this will be the second time.

same. god, that was three years ago with mxpx and vendetta red. pretty sweet show. i can't wait to see both dashboard and brand new again.

[plain white t's]

i wud so wont to c that if i didnt leave on the other side of the world

[simonz]

i wud so wont to c that if i didnt leave on the other side of the world

dashboard is touring Australia later this year. lets just hope to god that tour is included in what jesse said.

[myjokesmakeucry]

Whether they "deserve" to be opening shows or not, they still sold out almost all their headlining shows after being nonexistent, which is more than I can say for Dashboard who hasn't sold out one show in Orlando. I love Dashboard, don't get me wrong, and I don't care who opens for whom, I just don't know if I would want to pay $30+ to see Brand New play a short set when it barely cost me that much to see them headline shows 2 days in a row combined. I've seen them with Dashboard and was real disappointed with the short set.

I'm still gonna go though. :D




1) the two orlando dashboard shows at HOB are sold out, have been for a bit now.
2) for everyone else on here this is very true, its brand new opening for dashboard, it will be an arena tour(dashboard has even said they will be doing an arena tour in the fall/winter with "friends of theirs that they have toured with before in the past" obviously we know now that its brand new(i was hoping it would be new found glory)
3) for this arena tour i am sure it will be more like brand new playing for 50-60 min while dashboard probably does an hour thirty.
4 I am a huge dashboard fan, i love them to death but i hate this new album, i think it blows. but with how much they have been pushing it, dont be suprised when its the #1 record the week it comes out. the record could still flop who knows? but it most likely will be #1 its first week and dashboard is much bigger as far as sales and popularity. I would say they are better too even if this record is lacking. example chris sings, jesse does his whisper sexy voice thing not really singing. and of course mike marsh seals the deal. Brand New put out two great albums no doubt about it but i think we put them on too high a pedistule, seriously they are not gods of rock the way they are discussed on these forums.
so yeah i am sure nobody will even get to this, this far in the forum but oh well

[ThatGirl]

I was at that show and stayed the whole time. I didn't hear Jesse say any of that but that could have been because a drunk muscle guy started Serinading me (p.s. i'm a guy) during Play Crack The Sky.

It was crazy hot in there. I couldn't believe it when Jesse almost passed out from the heat. He looked like Hell after he fell down and walked off stage in the middle of the set momentarily.
yeah i dont remember hearing that either and i was the only person leaning agains the stage (thank you off center crowd barrier) and it was definately freaky when he almost collapsed on stage. i think it was approximately 90 degrees in tremont. they got a fan set up in front of him after that though. maybe he said it after the show or something.
