AFI was teasing an upcoming announcement on social media earlier today, and while we hate to spoil a good surprise, our buddies at Live Nation sure don’t! The event organizer (and ticket broker who brought you “dynamic pricing”) has leaked the announcement in an email blast: Davey Havok and co. will be celebrating their breakthrough album Sing the Sorrow‘s 20th Anniversary by performing the record in its entirety.
According to the email Live Nation sent out (see below), the concert will take place on March 11th, 2023 at the Forum in Inglewood, CA.
After releasing five albums through Nitro Records, AFI made their major label debut with Sing the Sorrow in 2003 and enjoyed immediate mainstream success. The record reached #5 on the Billboard 200 has been certified Platinum by the RIAA.
Update: AFI has officially announced the concert, billing it as the “first and last time ever” Sing the Sorrow will be played in its entirety. The support bands are Jawbreaker, Chelsea Wolfe and Choir Boy. Tickets will be available Wednesday, November 16th at 10am Pacific.
